Today, I’m talking to Dick (Richard) Weber. Dick is the founder of The Ethical Edge, a fee-for-service consultancy with a unique focus on life insurance. His company provides clients with a wide array of services, including life insurance policy management with both a technical and due diligence perspective on legal cases pertaining to life insurance. Before launching his own company, Dick spent 25 years in life insurance sales. He has won the Kenneth Black, Jr. Leadership Award from the Society of Financial Service Professionals, was elected to the NAEPC Estate Planning Hall of Fame, and created several computer-based tools that have revolutionized how advisors and their clients view and select life insurance products. In our conversation, Dick and I discuss his book, Thriving Beyond Midlife. We’ll also dive into several critical aspects of retirement that have very little to do with finance, and how the life insurance industry has changed over the last 50 years.

Dr. Gillian Leithman, PhD is an adjunct professor at the John Molson School of Business, as well as a researcher and expert uniquely focused on helping employees as they transition from the working world into retirement.  She’s facilitated programs for a wide variety of businesses and organizations, including Bell Canada, TD Canada Trust, Telus, Business Development Canada, SAP, Moody’s, and the RCMP–just to name a few. And her work has been featured in Forbes, the Montreal Gazette, Reader’s Digest, the National Post and many more. She’s extensively studied how workforces age and transition into retirement, and has an incredible amount of first hand knowledge from her many interviews with pre-retirees and retirees. On top of all of this, she’s also the co-creator of the Certified Professional Retirement Coach designation, which allows students to become certified retirement coaches. In our conversation, Gillian and I talk about why she became so interested in retirement at such an early age in her own life, how our quest for work/life balance can create real problems once we retire, and the big takeaways from her workbook, Rewire to Retire: Five Crucial Questions You Must Ask Yourself Before You Retire That Have Nothing To Do With Money.

Today I’m speaking to Laurence (Larry) Kotlikoff. Larry is a professor of economics at Boston University, a New York Times best-selling author, and the president of Economic Security Planning, where he works to produce powerful personal financial planning tools.  For much of his career, including two Presidential runs in 2012 and 2016, he’s been uniquely focused on personal finance and economic reform. He believes that we have the power to improve our individual economic futures, as well as our nation and our planet’s–but that there are real challenges along the way. In today’s conversation, Larry and I dig into the major problems facing the American economy in 2021, why higher taxes are all but inevitable (and why our government fails to tax so many people correctly), and how to evaluate Social Security to make the most of your potential benefits.  One more thing before we get started. We’ve got a bunch of copies of Larry’s book,  Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security, and we're going to send them out until they're all gone! Here's all you have to do... Step 1.) Subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review over on iTunes. Step 2.) Send an email to info@howardbailey.com with your iTunes username and mailing address, and we will ship you the book for free. It’s that simple!
