Today, I'm talking to Mary Beth Franklin. Mary Beth is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, a former Capitol Hill reporter at United Press International, and the retirement and tax editor at Kiplinger Personal Finance. She also has a new edition of her bestselling book, Maximizing Social Security Benefits, a must-read for retirees and pre-retirees. My first interview with Mary Beth was our most downloaded and most watched episode of this podcast, so I'm thrilled to have another chance to talk to her about Social Security (and if you haven't listened to that first episode, be sure to do so before diving into this one, as it covers the foundational elements of Social Security). In today's conversation, we discussed what's changed about Social Security over the last several years, how to take advantage of these changes in your financial and retirement planning, and, of course, the future of Social Security and its potential insolvency. You'll also hear what semi-retirement looks like for Mary Beth, as she very recently semi-retired herself, and shares advice for anyone who still enjoys working in their pre-retirement years. GET A FREE ACCESS TO MARY BETH'S BOOK: MAXIMIZING SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS Here's all you have to do... Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. Step 2.) Text the word BOOK to 888-599-4491 and we'll make sure you get signed up for free. It's that simple! In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why so many of the Social Security claiming strategies that became popular in the late 2000s have disappeared. What it would mean for Social Security to become insolvent–and why it's highly unlikely for anything to be done about it anytime soon. How your Social Security is calculated, and how to get a clear picture of what your benefits look like (or would look like) right now. Why more people regret claiming benefits too early rather than too late. Social Security claiming strategies that haven't been eliminated by Congress, especially for divorced and widowed retirees. What Mary Beth has learned from her husbands' retirement and her own semi-retirement. Our Market Outlook Webinar is live! Visit https://bit.ly/4bmHkUb to register.

Today, I'm speaking with Darius Foroux. Darius's work has been featured in Time, NBC, the Observer, and the Economist. He's also the host of The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money, which is available on all podcast platforms. Darius teaches online classes on wealth building and has written eight books, including his newest work, The Stoic Path to Wealth: Ancient Wisdom for Enduring Prosperity. In his new book, Darius applies ancient wisdom to the chaos of the modern-day market. He investigates how discipline, emotional distance, and self-mastery–techniques passed down over thousands of years–give us the tools to live better financial lives and weather economic storms today.

Today, I'm speaking with Mike Golic Sr. Mike's career in the NFL began when he was drafted in the 10th round as a defensive lineman in the 1985 NFL draft. He has since gone on to have tremendous success in sports media as the cohost of Mike & Mike on ESPN and currently cohosts Gojo and Golic with his son, Mike Jr., at DraftKings. He coauthored Mike and Mike's Rules for Sports and Life with Mike Greenberg and had millions of fans tuning into their sports-talk radio show on ESPN. You'll hear he transitioned from the playing field to land his first gig calling college games for ESPN and earning less money than his first year in the NFL and the support he had from his wife to pursue his new passion. In our conversation, we explore how to navigate those transitions with grace, the unique challenges professional athletes (and entrepreneurs) face after their careers come to an often sudden end, and the lessons he learned from his parents to "find a way and figure it out" which stuck with him as he ventured into new territory after his playing career. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Mike's parents, the challenges of sports, and the rigors of academia helped teach him the value of hard work and make him the person he is today. Why our definition of success has to change as we age–and how it changed for Mike as he left the NFL and ESPN to enjoy life as a parent and grandparent. How NFL players are forced into retirement by the NFL and how changed his focus to providing for his family in the new arena of sports media. The impact that career transitions have had on Mike's relationship with his wife of almost 40 years–and his advice for staying in sync as you move on to the next step. Why Mike's family is at the heart of his purpose. Our Market Outlook Webinar is live! Visit https://bit.ly/4bmHkUb to register.

In addition to being a practicing therapist, Dr. Schulz is the Associate Director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, Director of the Data Science program at Bryn Mawr, and former chair of that school's psychology and clinical development psychology PhD programs.

In today's deep dive into the study of happiness, we get into what he's learned in the twenty years he's been involved in this program, how he defines the "good life" and what it truly means to be happy, and why we need relationships of all kinds to thrive in our modern world and enjoy a "good life."

Today, I'm talking to Dr. David Hulse, recently retired Professor Emeritus at the Von Allmen School of Accountancy and the Martin School of Public Policy at the University of Kentucky. He's a contributing author for federal taxation textbooks and has written about our tax system in several journals. He recently published a white paper called Roth Vs. Traditional Account Contributions and Tax Rate Uncertainty in the Journal of Financial Planning. It's a fantastic and informative paper, and we wanted to bring David onto the podcast to break his complex argument down into something simpler and allow him to answer your questions. With that in mind, in this episode, we discuss the difference between different contribution and decumulation strategies with someone who's implementing them in his own life as we speak, the changing pace of life for new retirees, and how many people use a mix of retirement accounts and tools to avoid costly mistakes in this phase of life. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Important facts that many advisors don't understand about Roth IRAs compared to traditional ones. How to understand the government's role as a "silent partner" in a traditional IRA. How to assess whether a traditional or Roth IRA is right for you based on whether or not overall (or your personal) tax rate is going to go up. Strategies you can use to address potential problems around required minimum distributions (RMDs) with traditional IRAs. Why David is using a mix of traditional and Roth IRAs across his retirement accounts. The reasons why there's no simple "set and forget" strategy when it comes to retirement account planning.

You may recognize her name from her contributions to books by her father, Stephen Covey, best known for writing The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, or her brother, Sean, who wrote The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make. In our conversation, we delved into her book Live Life In Crescendo: Your Most Important Work is Always Ahead of You, which she co-authored with her father Stephen, and was published posthumously as his final book. We talk about the life lessons Cynthia learned in the Covey household, how to live life with a perennial sense of purpose and play to your strengths, and how having some stress in your life isn't necessarily a bad thing and can actually improve longevity.

The unique value of "eustress" and how good stress helps to stay driven and ambitious even in retirement. Simple ways to make a contribution, even if you don't want to be a mentor or influencer.

Today, I'm talking to Marie-Therese Connolly. MT Connolly is a lawyer working in the courts and in Congress to tackle an ongoing and fundamental issue of elder abuse–both physical and psychological–as well as financial exploitation and wrongful deprivation of rights. She was instrumental in architecting the federal Elder Justice Act. She also founded the DoJ's Elder Justice Initiative and authored the Elder Justice Roadmap. In her book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she addresses the challenges of aging, how things go wrong, and offers powerful tools we can use to forge better and healthier lives for ourselves, our families, and our communities. In today's conversation, MT and I discussed how we can protect our parents and grandparents, what our culture teaches us about aging (and conversely, what aging teaches us), and why it's a great time to get old–even though our support systems appear to be broken. GET A FREE ACCESS TO MT CONNOLLY'S BOOK TITLED, THE MEASURE OF OUR AGE: NAVIGATING CARE, SAFETY, MONEY AND MEANING LATER IN LIFE Here's all you have to do... Step 1.)

In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why elder abuse has been a longstanding problem in our society and our world. How we as people underestimate the power of aging and its challenges. What happened as MT fought for the Elder Justice Act, what went wrong, and what she's optimistic about. Why so many people don't realize how many resources they need to cover long-term care, to stay in their homes, or get other support they might need. How to evaluate retirement communities and care homes. The common risks of families taking on caregiving. Why old and young people are meant to spend time together and learn from one another.
