Financial Freedom Podcast

Most people know that there is some risk to investing and retirement planning. In fact, "Risk Tolerance" for the investor is a key factor in deciding where to put your money. But most people don't know that there are non-financial risks as well.
That's why in this episode of the podcast I talk with Chris Maduri about what those risks are and how you can avoid them to ensure a comfortable retirement.
In this episode you will learn:
How having a purpose once you stop working is key
Why connecting with people outside of work is important
Why establishing an identity not connected to your job keeps you centered
Practical ways to prepare for retirement psychologically, not just financially

Diversity in your investments and savings for retirement (and your efforts to achieve long term financial freedom) is very important. It's key to minimizing risk and maximizing return. Lately, precious metals, as an investment, has become a topic of discussion.
To find out whether you should do it, and if so, how to go about it, I talked with Kristen Nagle about how she helps folks to get started in this market.
In this episode you will learn:
Whether you should invest in precious metals
How to get started
What portion of your portfolio should be in precious metals

Each generation has a different approach to money, saving, retirement, and what it means to be financially free and secure. So strategies for starting on that journey can vary quite a bit, and Gen Z is no exception.
That's why on this episode of the podcast I talked with Jack Campbell, an investor and venture capitalist who helps Gen Zers to discuss how they can map out and navigate their path to financial freedom.
In this episode you will learn:
How a person's generation defines their financial goals and saving strategies
What that definition is for Gen Z
Why old money rules don't work for Gen Z
What rules do work
The importance of investing in defense, energy, and industrial entities.

Achieving financial freedom is something people aspire to, but not everyone thinks it is possible. Even those that do think it will take them way too long. For some it means getting out from under debt first; for others it means being able to invest enough each year to make it happen in a reasonable amount of time.
But sometimes it can be done quicker. That's why on this episode of the podcast I talk with Ryan Lee who, by following a less traditional path, was able to achieve financial freedom in less than 10 years.
In this episode you will learn:
Why the traditional retirement saving system is broken
How to invest in real estate without all the hassles and responsibilities of being a landlord
How insurance can help you get to financial freedom sooner

With the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, there's been a lot of talk on social media about prenuptual agreements. But what many people don't know is that these agreements (as well as their lesser-known cousins, post-nuptual agreements) are not just for the very rich. Others can benefit from them as well.
That's why in this episode of the podcast I talked with New Jersey certified family law attorney AllynMarie Smedley about how these two agreements work, when they are appropriate, and how they can help couples both before and after they get married.
In this episode you will learn:
What a pre-nuptual agreement is
What a  post-nuptual agreement is
Why you might want to have one
How they can help
How to broach the topic to your fiancee/spouse
