In this episode, we dive into the realities of retirement that most people don’t see coming. From understanding why you’re retiring to the emotional and financial challenges that follow, Eric Douglas and Chris Vaughn share lessons learned from years of guiding clients through one of life’s biggest transitions.

We’ll discuss the difference between retiring from something and retiring to something, why purpose matters as much as planning, and how to avoid common mistakes like retiring too early, underestimating taxes, or overspending in your first years of freedom. You’ll also hear stories of clients who found new purpose through hobbies, volunteering, and family—proof that retirement isn’t the end of your story, it’s the start of a new one.

If you’re nearing retirement or simply want to plan smarter for your future, this episode will help you approach it with confidence, purpose, and clarity.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most common—and misunderstood—strategies in retirement planning: Roth conversions.

While they’re often promoted as a one-size-fits-all tax solution, the truth is more complicated. From longevity risk and spending risk to RMD concerns and Medicare surcharges, many retirees discover that conversions may not benefit them during their lifetime at all.

We’ll uncover why timing, tax brackets, and liquidity matter more than conventional wisdom suggests, and how poor planning could end up helping the IRS more than your family.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a Roth conversion is right for you—or just a costly mistake—this episode breaks it down in plain terms.

Whether you’re nearing retirement or decades away, understanding the real trade-offs of Roth conversions can help you protect wealth and avoid costly financial missteps.

In this episode, we dive into the truth about investor sentiment and why emotions often drive market behavior more than logic. From inflation fears to market corrections, we’ll show you why reacting to headlines and short-term noise can cost you big in the long run.

We’ll break down how the economy’s resilience, the role of corrections, and the impact of missing the market’s best days all prove one thing: patience pays. Instead of panicking, learn how to zoom out, stay invested, and build real long-term wealth.

If you’ve ever worried about timing the market, reacting to bad news, or questioning whether to stay invested—this episode will help you understand why doing less may actually grow your wealth more.
