Today, I'm talking to Bruce Feiler. Bruce is a bestselling author of 5 books, including The Council of Dads, which was the subject of a TED Talk and the inspiration for the NBC drama series of the same name. He's also the author of the column titled, This Life in the Sunday New York Times and has presented two PBS miniseries, Walking the Bible and Sacred Journeys. Bruce's newest book is called Life is in the Transitions: Mastering Change at Any Age, and it is packed with great insights and perspectives that I know our listeners will enjoy. As time goes on, I feel like I'm always going through some form of life transition, and I've definitely noticed that most of the families we work with are usually in the thick of a lifequake of their own. Needless to say, I'm thrilled that Bruce was able to spend some time on the podcast to share what he learned as he crisscrossed the country and collected hundreds of stories from Americans far and wide. In our conversation, Bruce and I dig into what a life transition really is, what he learned from asking hundreds of Americans to tell him the stories of their lives, and how the periods of upheaval and unrest we face can lead us to growth and renewal.

Today, I'm talking to Christine Benz. Christine is the Director of Personal Finance at Morningstar, one of the largest research institutions in the financial world. She's the author of 30-Minute Money Solutions: A Step-by-Step Guide to Managing Your Finances and the Morningstar Guide to Mutual Funds: 5-Star Strategies for Success and a prolific all-around writer on the topic of retirement. Whenever I put together our Weekend Reading emails, which we send out every Friday, it's hard for me not to include one of Christine's articles. She has an incredible range of knowledge and expertise and a unique perspective that has proven to be invaluable throughout her career. In today's conversation, we discuss the path Christine took into the world of finance. We dig into the benefits and drawbacks of being an individual investor and simple strategies you can apply right now to build a strong foundation to retire–no matter what stage of life you're in. And on top of that, Christine graciously answered several questions from our Weekend Reading subscribers on topics including asset allocation, cryptocurrency, inflation, and more. I thoroughly enjoyed having her on the show, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of value out of this episode as well. Enjoy!

Today, I'm talking to Dr. Glen Robison. Glen is the author of Healthy Dad Sick Dad: What Good is Your Wealth if You Don't Have Your Health? In his book, he shares the stories of two fathers who experienced very different retirements–and how he improved his own health along the way. In a world where retirees are taking as many as 20 medications a day for preventable health conditions, and then miss out on opportunities because they're too stiff and sore to enjoy life, Glen's research has the potential to literally save lives. In this conversation, Glen and I talk about the personal health crisis that changed his life and outlook, his personal mission to change how people take care of themselves, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help us bring our bodies into balance and allow us to enjoy life at every stage.
