Today, I'm talking to former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Robert "Rocky" Bleier. Rocky is a 4x Super Bowl champion, the Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart recipient, and the author of Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story and Don't Fumble Your Retirement. Rocky has made a massive impact on people's lives as a parent, grandparent, serviceman, and Pittsburgh Steeler–and it was an honor to talk to him today in anticipation of his upcoming speech at his alma mater, Notre Dame. In our conversation, we get into the big lessons Rocky learned about teamwork and leadership from his college football days at Notre Dame, how his experience in the army translated to his life in the NFL, and how we build a legacy through our actions–and what we teach–for future generations.

Today, I'm talking to Dr. Jordan Grumet. Jordan is an associate medical director at JourneyCare Hospice, a financial blogger turned host of the award-winning Earn & Invest Podcast, and the author of Taking Stock: A Hospice Doctor's Advice on Financial Independence, Building Wealth, and Living a Regret-Free Life. In his book, he shares what the end of life can teach us about the secret to financial independence and how to make every moment count. People have so many questions about money, whether it's better to save for the future or enjoy what we have earned today, and we'll discuss some of those age-old questions on today's podcast. In our conversation, we dig into how death has informed his unique perspective in finance, why the questions so many people ask at the end of their lives are the ones you should be asking right now, and the tactics and strategies you can use to be more intentional about both your money and your time.

Text BOOK, that's BOOK to 866-482-9559 for a link to our book request page, complete the form and we will ship you the book for free. It's that simple! In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How losing his father at the age of seven informed Jordan's perspective on finance. What Jordan learned from talking to hospice patients about their successes, failures, and what they still aimed to accomplish with the life they had left. Why Jordan doesn't believe in the YOLO mindset–but has become a lot less anti-YOLO through his work. Why net worth almost never comes up when talking to people who have a limited amount time left–and how this shows us what really matters. How to create a fixed-time schedule that frees you up to focus more on what matters most to you. Why Jordan thinks people who embrace the FIRE movement have the same problems as those who save for 30 years, then can't spend. Who to talk to when you need to make end-of-life choices.

Today, I'm talking to Steve Lopez. Steve has been a writer for the Los Angeles Times since 2001 and a four-time Pulitzer Prize finalist. He's won over a dozen national journalism awards and three local news Emmys, and he's written three novels, including The Soloist, which was adapted into one of my favorite movies. In Steve's new book, Independence Day: What I Learned About Retirement from Some Who've Done It and Some Who Never Will, he explores the meaning of work and how it defines us in a combination of memoirs, interviews, and guidance. The book features conversations with a wide variety of people, including some who chose not to retire (like director Mel Brooks) and those who simply can't retire, as well as aging scientists, geriatric specialists, and psychiatrists. In today's conversation, Steve and I talk about what it means to live with purpose and passion, how to tell which of the five categories of retirees that you fall into, and the big financial trends we should all be thinking about as the world around us changes.

What Steve learned from retirees who didn't have enough structure when their primary careers ended–and from guys like Mel Brooks and Norman Lear, who are happily working in their 90s and 100s. How boomers entering retirement with medical debt, climate change, and other factors are going to impact life for all of us, regardless of age. What happened when Steve told his wife that working from home during COVID was a preview of retirement–and how they resolved the conflict that came from it. What it truly means to go where life is and do what replenishes you. Show Notes: Howardbailey.com/353 Rate & Review the Podcast: RetireWithPurpose.com/review Sign Up to Casey's Weekend Reading Email!

Today, I'm talking to Bob Carlson–America's #1 retirement expert. Bob is the editor of Retirement Watch, a senior contributor to Forbes, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Fairfax County Employees Retirement System. He's written several highly influential books, including The Essential Guide to Retiring in the 2020s, and Where's My Money?: Secrets to Getting the Most Out Of Your Social Security. In this conversation, Bob and I get into the risk factors that can potentially derail your retirement at the last minute, the obstacles making retiring in the 2020s more challenging than they were in the early 2000s, and what you can do to minimize money stress and have a successful retirement. We then set aside quite a bit of time to answer your burning questions about Social Security, including how to maximize your lifetime benefits, manage longevity risks, and how to plan for a future in which Social Security itself is set to run out of money in 2033.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Robert Laura back to the podcast. Back in 2020, we had a great conversation about the ways COVID was impacting retirement. Now, we're shifting gears from a "No-Regrets Retirement Plan" mindset to redefining retirement and improving our retirement intelligence. Robert is the founder of RetirementProject.org and Naked Retirement. As the Retirement Activist, Robert is committed to changing the way people think about and prepare for every aspect of retirement. In his nationally syndicated columns at Forbes and Financial Advisor, he challenges the status quo of traditional retirement planning. His tremendous work also frequently appears in the Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Investor's Business Daily, The Street, and many other publications. In this episode, we dig into Robert's Retirement Quotient (RQ) test and what he's learned throughout his career, studying why some people succeed and some fail in retirement from an individual–not a financial–perspective. You'll also learn why so many people underestimate just how intense retirement can be, why retirement is all about envisioning the life you want, and removing the negative stigma that the idea of retirement means happiness is over or that you're put out to pasture. GET A FREE ACCESS TO ROBERT'S RQ TEST AND JOIN A GREAT DISCUSSION. Here's all you have to do... Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. Step 2.) Send an email with your username to [email protected], and we'll provide that to you free of charge! In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How to use the RQ test to assess your retirement readiness. Why so many retirees suffer in silence despite being financially stable. Why the "honeymoon phase" of retirement can be such a dangerous time. How to create a retirement plan when you don't really want to retire. How retirement reorients work, helps us find new communities, and forge new connections in the outside world.

Today, I'm thrilled to be speaking with Burt Malkiel. You probably know him as the author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, originally published 50 years ago and is now in its 13th edition. In the book, he made a compelling case to make index funds the core component of one's investment portfolio. Keep in mind that index funds weren't publicly available at that time. Having written one of the most influential books in the history of investing is an extraordinary achievement. And Burt's accomplishments are many, including several lifetime achievement awards from professional investment organizations. Burt is the Chemical Bank Chairman's Professor of Economics at Princeton University. He has also served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers, president of the American Finance Association, the dean of the Yale School of Management, and spent 28 years as a director at the Vanguard Group. It was such an honor to have Burt on the show, and I'm so excited to share our conversation with you. You'll hear how he got to where he is today, from his humble beginnings as a poor kid in a Boston tenement house to his published work that transformed investing forever. He'll also share his thoughts on how today's inflation compares to the 1970s, the challenges we face to get it under control, and so much more!

In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why Burt believes education is so important–even though neither he nor I ever woke up excited to go to school. Why Albert Einstein called compound interest "the eighth wonder of the world." How A Random Walk Down Wall Street slowly but surely changed investing as we know it today. What makes financial planning for growth and planning for preservation so drastically different. How to invest in individual stocks and make bets on businesses you believe in without putting your money at risk. How Burt structured his portfolio to generate safe, reliable fixed income once he needed to start taking RMDs. How high net worth individuals often get into financial trouble. How Burt thinks our current era of inflation compares to the stagflation of the 1970s–and why he's pessimistic about our ability to get inflation under control.

In this new book titled, Win the Retirement Game: How to Outsmart the 9 Forces Trying to Steal Your Joy, he walks retirees through the obstacles they're most likely to face in the next chapter of their lives. Tackling issues such as boredom, uncertainty, and drifting by helping them craft specific strategies to tackle these problems head-on. In today's episode, we dig into what Joe's learned from working with people from all walks of life. We talk about the difference between left-brain financial planning and right-brain life planning and why so many advisors end up having to unwind what should have been "perfect" retirement plans. We'll also talk about how to cast off pre-retirement mindsets that won't serve you once you've transitioned out of your primary career and much more!

Why so many people find themselves in a state of shock or identity crisis when they retire–and how "soft" conversations about retirement make this transition less uncomfortable.

What to do in the meantime as you wait for an opportunity to recharge your energy or artistic juices between career and retirement.

Today, I'm talking to Bob French–one of the leading lights in the world of retirement research. Bob is the Director of Investment Analysis at McLean Asset Management, where he works directly with clients to help them understand how their investments fit in a broader picture. Bob joined the team at Retirement Researcher, where he works with a couple of our favorite podcast guests, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia.

His work in the field of retirement truly serves his readers and takes a genuinely academic approach that helps investors to reach their retirement goals. In my conversation with Bob, we get into what a true retirement plan really looks like and why the types of investments matter a lot less than we think they do. We'll also discuss how you can cut through the noise from financial media outlets so you can build a retirement income plan with confidence and peace of mind, even in today's investing environment and much more! In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why retirement planning and investment planning are not the same thing. How Bob answers client questions about portfolio performance. Why the woeful state of financial media is Bob's biggest frustration with the industry. When to use buffer assets, reserve strategies, working capital strategies, and other financial tools as part of your retirement planning.

Today, I'm talking to Bradley Schurman. Bradley is the founder and CEO of The Super Age, a global strategic advisory firm that helps people tap into the economic power of "super-agers"–the older populations that will soon outnumber younger people in economies worldwide. In his book The Super Age: Decoding Our Demographic Destiny, he explores how these changing demographics will affect government and business, touching all of our lives. He warns us that our failure to prepare for an aging world could lead to economic stagnation, more isolated populations, and accelerated decline. He also outlines how we can harness this generation's skills and talents to enrich everyone's lives for years to come. In our conversation, we discuss why he believes the Super Age presents an extraordinary challenge and opportunity for our world–and how this impacts our notion of "retirement." We discuss how the Super Age will change our world for at least the next 25 years, the links between aging and inflation, and the private-sector innovation and public-sector adjustments that will define this transition for so many of us in the years to come. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Super Age nations are guaranteed to create massive socioeconomic change all over the world. Why our definition of retirement is currently changing in real-time. What makes someone a Super Ager–and how these traits keep older people healthier, more active, and better-connected. How changes to our economy are creating communities that look more like the families of the early 20th century. What Bradley expects to see happen to Medicare and Social Security to address these demographic changes. The factors that define our longevity–and what people are looking for as they seek out stability in this highly disruptive period.

Today, I'm speaking with Alex Murguia. Alex has worked to turn Dr. Wade Pfau's framework for retirement income planning into a quantifiable retirement income model, and the Retirement Income Style Awareness (RISA) Profile is the result of his hard work. Before creating the RISA® Profile, Alex graduated from George Washington University with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and served as a research fellow for the National Institute of Health before pursuing a formal career in finance. He joined McLean Asset Management as a scientist-practitioner and launched a financial planning software company, but soon found himself disillusioned by the lack of tools individuals could use to chart a course to a successful retirement, leading him to where he is now. In today's episode, you'll find out how the RISA® Profile can help answer some of your most pressing questions when it comes to retirement, why we're biologically incapable of making sound financial decisions without a process in place, and why financial planning and retirement planning are not one and the same. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The common questions from many retirees that inspired Alex, Dr. Wade Pfau, and Bob French to create the RISA® Profile. How to confidently do your own research when it comes to investing and retirement planning. How strategic planning helps protect you from biased and irrational decisions. When (and how) to assess your financial plan and asset allocation. Alex's response to one of our Weekend Reading subscribers looking for guidance as a conservative investor.
