Dividend growth investing can feel uncomfortable when a handful of growth stocks dominate headlines and performance. When value lags and momentum strategies seem unstoppable, it’s easy to wonder whether patience and discipline still make sense.

To round out 2025, Greg steps back from the noise to revisit foundational principles of dividend growth investing and explain why they remain intact, even in today’s market. He walks through why distraction is one of the biggest risks investors face, how compounding quietly does the heavy lifting, and why tying income growth to long-term economic growth creates a durable framework that doesn’t depend on short-term cycles

From the “Vitamin C” concept to classic compounding examples like the penny story and the Rule of 72, this episode reinforces how small, consistent decisions compound into meaningful income over time. Greg also revisits dividend growth targets, yield “sweet spots,” and the practical levers investors can pull to sustain income growth. The episode culminates in a real-world look at the model portfolio, which has been running since 2010.
