Episode notes
In this episode, Regan Archibald shifts the conversation from physical longevity to financial longevity, exploring why financial stability is one of the strongest predictors of overall health. Joined by wealth experts Bryan Sweet and Sonu Varghese, the discussion unpacks the biggest risks entrepreneurs face—especially unexpected tax burdens when selling a business—and introduces the powerful concept of creating a “tax asset” to offset capital gains without losing investment growth. Through real case studies, they reveal how proactive planning, strategic portfolio design, and collaboration with the right advisors can save clients hundreds of thousands to millions in taxes while maintaining liquidity, reducing risk, and fueling long-term lifestyle freedom. The episode emphasizes that true longevity requires both optimized health and optimized finances—and that smart tax strategy is essential to building the ageless future you envision.
