Today, we’re thrilled to have Michael Hyatt on the podcast. Michael is the Founder and Chairman of Full Focus, which has been featured in the Inc 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in America and Inc’s Best Workplaces. He’s also scaled multiple companies, including a $250 million publishing company with 700+ employees, and has written numerous bestselling books, including Your Best Year Ever, Free to Focus, Win at Work and Succeed at Life , and Mind Your Mindset. In this conversation, we get into what Michael is doing to take a back seat in his business without exiting entirely, how to prioritize the Double Win in life and work, and why your most important purpose hasn’t been fulfilled if you’re reading this right now. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: How the lessons Michael learned about exits and retirement from his long career in business informed his own transition plan. What happened when Michael had enormous success in business at the cost of his home life–and how he rethought his approach to show up for his family. How Michael has helped clients cultivate a vision for their life after the 40+ hour workweek. The beauty of finding work-life balance–and why purpose is at the heart of it all.

There are five worlds of financial planning: income, investment, tax, health care, and legacy–and today’s episode is all about legacy. We believe your legacy is more than your estate and the assets you leave behind. The fact is, if you don’t take control of your legacy with proper financial planning, someone else will. These are tough conversations to have for most people, but by the end of the episode, our goal is to help you feel comfortable taking that first step and getting started. We’re happy to have someone like Mark Kenney at SHP share his expertise and experience. Today, we’ll discuss how legacy planning impacts every other part of your financial plan, simple ways to reduce your estate taxes, and the key touch points you should be aware of as you create your legacy plan. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why legacy is an integral part of every financial plan. The common complications that arise in legacy planning and passing assets on to children or other beneficiaries. How (and why) certain clients choose to gift to their beneficiaries over the course of a lifetime, rather than just after they pass. Why the rules for gifting are more generous when it comes to education (529) accounts. What makes legacy planning so difficult for DIYers. Want the Full Show Notes?

Whether you’re retiring in five, 10, or 15 years, you need to be well prepared to retire–but other than your money, what exactly goes into a retirement plan? A lot of financial advisors will simply tell you “You made money. You lost money. Stay the course. That’s the plan,” even though that may not be what you want to hear. So, with that in mind, what do you need to be doing each year, and what might you be missing? Today, Derek Gregoire and Matthew Peck of SHP set out to answer that question. We’re talking about why your retirement plan shouldn’t just be a bunch of 401(k)s, IRAs, and bank statements, why retirement and unemployment aren’t that different, and the critical pieces of the retirement plan that are often overlooked.

If sports has been a big part of your life over the past 50+ years, even if you haven’t lived in the Boston area, John’s voice is likely a familiar one. He’s interviewed legendary sports figures and been on the scene (and behind the scenes!) to cover some of the most memorable moments in sports history. Anyone who has been able to have access to Tom Brady and Bill Belichick on the Patriots Monday radio call every single week-win, lose or draw-during their tremendous run undoubtedly has achieved legendary status with some epic stories to tell. In this conversation, we go back to the beginning of his career as he paints a picture with great detail of what some of the most memorable moments in sports looked like from his seat. From the great Celtics runs in the 70s and 80s, golfing with the greats, his cameos in the Farrelly Brothers’ movies, being on the air during the tragedy on 9/11, and how he overcame his battle with alcoholism. As they say, he’s been there and done that, and we’re thankful to have him with us today. Even if you’re not a sports fan, there’s a little something for everyone. There’s a backstory to every big story, and they’re being brought to you today by one of the greatest voices in Boston Sports, John Dennis. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: How Derek and John met and the role that golf has played in their friendship. The lesson that John learned from his father and how John discovered his love for sports broadcasting. How John’s work ethic and passion was a huge factor in leaving Kansas City to work in Boston. How John was able to have incredible access to boxing legend Marvin Hagler. Some behind the scenes moments from the most amazing prize fight at the time, Hagler vs Hearns. How he met John Havlicek and how his access to the Celtics teams grew over the years. Stories of Larry Bird that you won’t want to miss. What it was like behind the scenes of the 1986 World Series with the Red Sox and Mets and the events that took place after the Bill Buckner play. The incredible memories of golfing with Lee Trevino and Greg Norman. What it was like to be on the air during the tragedy on 9/11. How Patriots Monday came to be and how his access to Tom Brady led to their friendship. The incredible moment when John reached out to Tom Brady after learning that his good friend and Patriots Superfan was near the end of his battle with ALS. How John was a highly functioning alcoholic and the moment that he knew he had to get help. How he became friends with the Farrelly brothers and how he landed his role in Kingpin.

With income tax season in the rearview, some people tend to shift their focus to saving toward a child's education. This time of year, we'll often hear questions like: What are the best options? Wasn't there something new about 529s in SECURE Act 2.0? Has anything changed? If you're someone who has any of those questions (or others!) and you want to start preparing for your child's (or grandchildren's) education, this episode has everything you need to know about 529 Plans, including information on the changes that apply to 529s. In today's conversation, our very own Mark Kenney and Matthew Peck dig into how you can maximize the tax advantages of a 529 plan to offset college costs, the benefits of contributing to 529s at any stage of life, and how recent changes to the tax code affect 529 contributions. If you have questions, we have answers. Enjoy! In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: How 529s are structured, who can contribute to them, and the major tax advantages of these funds. How retirees can contribute to kids, grandkids’, and others’ 529s. The options that are available if a 529 plan beneficiary doesn’t go to college. Why a 529 plan doesn’t negatively impact financial aid or student loan eligibility. Why investing in 529s should probably come after your 401(k). Want the Full Show Notes?

Contrary to popular belief, all financial firms and their advisors are not created equal. It’s actually a common myth that all financial advisors do the same thing and give the same advice. What they do–and how they do it–can be drastically different from company to company. We started SHP Financial in the early 2000s, but it wasn’t until the 2010s that we really began to scale our practice–and it couldn’t’ve happened without today’s guest. Brad Johnson is a principal at Triad Partners , and he’s coached thousands of financial advisors to hone their craft and become the best of the best in the industry. Brad played an instrumental role in our growth, and his knowledge and experience has improved the lives of countless retirees and the advisors who work with them. In today’s conversation, we dig into the difference between independent and captive financial advisors, the key questions you should ask any potential advisor, and why there’s so much more to retirement planning than creating a portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why some financial advisors and insurance agents choose products that aren’t in their clients’ best interest. The difference between people who call themselves fiduciaries in their commercials and actual fiduciaries. Why the best advisors have every tool at their disposal to help you. Why an investment portfolio alone is not a plan. The big questions you need to ask as you plan the retirement of your dreams. Want the Full Show Notes?

What is the value of great financial advice? It’s tough to put a number on it. But when it comes to financial planning, lots of people want to try to go it alone or take a “set it and forget it” approach to their portfolio. However, if they’re merely investing, or getting help managing their investments, there’s a huge component that is often missed–retirement planning. Today’s episode is all about understanding what a financial planner brings to the table in the world of retirement. One of our very own CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERS, Mark Kenney, is here to walk you through the key components of our Retirement Road Map®, how this plan allays fears and ensures retirees will have what they need to live comfortably, and what you can do to take uncertainty and volatility out of your life in retirement. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why so many people have financial plans that don’t meaningfully account for retirement. How we work with clients to produce a comprehensive plan that addresses income, investments, taxes, healthcare, estate, and legacy. How a third-party advisor helps take the emotion out of investing and stops people from making simple, predictable mistakes. Why there’s no one-size-fits-all, cookie cutter solution. Why a will won’t stop your assets from going to probate court. Want the Full Show Notes?

The big topic for 2023 that is on everyone’s mind has definitely been the looming recession. Which leads to questions like: Will there be a recession? And if so, how bad will it be?

So, the timing couldn’t be better to welcome Andrew Opdyke, Senior Economist with First Trust, back to the podcast. You’ve got burning questions, and he’s got answers. In our conversation, we get into how unprecedented stimulus can give way to runaway inflation, why the Fed has been raising interest rates so aggressively, and why Andrew is still optimistic about American progress and innovation. He’ll also break down some key indicators that if/when a recession hits, it might not be as bad as some of the earlier predictions. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: The factors that influence our markets and contribute to the risk of recession. How the Fed’s thinking changed in the wake of the Great Depression, the Great Recession, and the COVID pandemic. Why we’re likely going to see many companies down on earnings in the next several months.

A new version of the SECURE Act was passed on December 29, 2022. While we were celebrating the holidays, a lame duck Congress passed a law that made sweeping changes to financial and retirement planning. Whether you’re recently retired, saving for retirement or even just saving for college, these changes to the SECURE Act are worth noting. With that in mind, today’s episode is all about the most important changes made by the new SECURE Act–and, most importantly, how they may actually benefit you. You’ll learn how to take advantage of tax-deferred growth and catch-up contributions, a number of new financial tools available to employers and employees alike, and how the Labor Department is making it easier than ever to find lost 401(k)s from jobs you might’ve had 30 years ago. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Why the required minimum distribution age is increasing to 75 by 2033 and what makes this so important. The difference between traditional and Roth assets. How you can now take advantage of an unused (or underutilized) 529 to fund your grandkids’ retirement. How employers can now make emergency accounts available to their employees. Why all the changes to the SECURE Act reaffirm the importance of good financial planning. Want the Full Show Notes?

Estate planning is a critical part of the retirement planning process. As we kick off the new year, this is a perfect time to ensure that your plan is up to date. Things change over time. That includes our lives, our family, and even the laws that apply to estates. This means the wills, trusts, and other estate documents that protect our families and secure our legacies may need to change, too. With that in mind, we’re thrilled to have Keith McManus, attorney at McManus Estate Planning, back on the podcast. In our conversation, we discussed the downside of not reviewing and updating your estate plan, different ways to protect your biggest asset such as the family home, and the pros and cons of life estates and much more. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Reasons why a “set it and forget it” strategy can put your estate at risk. How to take advantage of incredible opportunities before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act sunsets in 2025. Why you may want to prepare estate plans to protect young adult children, even if they haven’t accumulated much wealth yet. What it means to create a life estate–and the potential risks and benefits of this approach to retirement. Why there’s no such thing as a cure-all trust–and how this makes estate planning more important than ever. Why you never want to rely on a will as the backbone of your estate plan.
