    In this episode, we break down some of the most common scams targeting individuals today—especially older adults—and why they’re becoming more dangerous than ever. From government imposter scams and phishing emails to romance scams, fake charities, and tech support fraud, we uncover how these schemes work and why they’re so effective.


    We also dive into how scammers use fear, urgency, and even advanced technology like AI to manipulate victims into giving away personal and financial information. The truth is, these scammers don’t need to succeed every time—they only need one opportunity.


    If you think you’re too smart to get scammed, think again. This episode will help you recognize the warning signs, understand the psychology behind scams, and learn simple habits to protect yourself and your loved ones.


    Stay informed, stay alert, and most importantly—don’t engage.

  • Retirement Isn’t About Saving - It’s About Living
    May 6 2026

    In this episode, we dive into a powerful shift in financial thinking: it’s not just about saving money—it’s about knowing how to use it. After decades of being told to “save, save, save,” many people reach retirement feeling anxious about spending the very money they worked so hard to build.

    We explore why having a purpose-driven plan matters, how to confidently spend without fear, and why retirement should be about doing what brings you joy—not just watching your investments grow. From real client stories to practical insights, this conversation highlights the importance of living intentionally and making the most of your time, health, and resources.

    We also discuss the risks of having a “disinterested spouse,” the emotional side of financial transitions, and why planning isn’t just about numbers—it’s about preparing for real life.

    If your financial plan doesn’t include actually enjoying your life, it’s incomplete.

  • Do I Really Need This Insurance?
    Apr 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode of the Retirement Planning Happy Hour, we break down one of the most common questions we hear: “Do I really need this insurance?”

    From term life vs. permanent life insurance to disability coverage and long-term care planning, we cut through the sales tactics and focus on what truly matters—risk mitigation and smart financial planning.

    We discuss:

    • Why employer-provided life insurance isn’t enough
    • The real purpose of term life insurance (and why it’s so cheap when you’re young)
    • Why permanent life insurance is often oversold
    • The overlooked importance of disability insurance
    • The truth about nursing homes, assisted living, and long-term care coverage
    • How to build an insurance strategy that fits into your overall financial plan

    Insurance shouldn’t be sold with fear. It should be built into a comprehensive plan that protects your income, your family, and your future.
    If your financial strategy doesn’t account for risk, it’s incomplete.
