About Don Gleason: Don Gleason, CEO and President of Achieve New Heights, leverages his passion to 'help people find the career that energizes them and the life that fulfills them.' He discovered early on his passion to 'clean America’s waters' and later to 'lead teams to new heights.' After 42 years in military and corporate leadership positions, he now helps others find their passion, as many know the destination but not the path.
In this episode, Shawn and Don Gleason discuss:
The importance of early retirement planning and financial readinessBalancing personal health and financial strategies in retirementPersonal growth through self-assessment and accountability practicesMitigating risks in retirement and protecting against market volatilityKey Takeaways:
Starting retirement planning by age 40 allows for the benefits of compounding and lowers the risk of financial strain, as waiting until later years significantly limits financial growth potential.Balancing a financial retirement plan with healthcare preparation is crucial, as both health maintenance and potential rising healthcare costs become essential factors in financial stability.Regular self-assessment, including identifying personal successes and gaps, enables individuals to make better life and career adjustments, which ultimately supports more fulfilling retirements.Establishing multiple income sources—such as pensions, Social Security, savings, and personal investments—adds resilience to a retirement plan and helps ensure that financial goals can be met despite market fluctuations."You don't wander into success. Success comes from planning—figuring out where I want to go, what I want to do, and how to get there." — Don Gleason

About Mark Hansen: Mark Hansen is the host of The Quiet Part and the founder of Second Comma, where he specializes in financial planning for single-income families. As a devoted husband and father, Mark understands the challenges of balancing present needs with future goals. Passionate about empowering families to navigate their financial journeys, he transitioned from corporate roles to independent advising after realizing his true calling lay in helping others. Through his podcast and e-book, Mark shares his insights and process, guiding listeners toward a more intentional approach to personal finance.
In this episode, Shawn and Mark Hansen discuss:
Career transitions and their impact on personal fulfillmentThe role of family and personal priorities in major life decisionsThe importance of long-term financial and retirement planningCommon challenges in planning for future financial stabilityKey Takeaways:
Mark transitioned from a corporate role after an HR email prohibited him from giving financial advice to coworkers, pushing him toward financial planning full-time.Spending uninterrupted time with his son during the COVID-19 lockdown helped Mark realize the importance of family and ultimately led him to choose family over career advancement.Delaying retirement savings means sacrificing the most impactful compounding interest growth, making early contributions vital to long-term financial success.Younger individuals often struggle to prioritize retirement planning due to immediate life demands, making it essential to shift focus toward long-term goals."The last untouched year is the greatest potential for growth from compound interest. So when you delay retirement by a year, that’s the year you’re sacrificing. You’re not sacrificing the first year; you’re always sacrificing the last year. And the last year is always potentially the biggest year." — Mark Hansen

About Ron Blue: Ron Blue is the founder of the Ron Blue Institute and several other organizations, including Ronald Blue Trust, Kingdom Advisors (KA), and the National Christian Foundation (NCF).

Ron has authored over twenty books on personal finance from a Biblical perspective. The Ron Blue Institute supports Christian universities, churches, schools, and financial professionals globally, sharing Ron’s decades of expertise through publications, curriculum development, courses, and consultations.
In this episode, Shawn and Ron Blue discuss:
Integrating biblical principles into financial decisionsThe role of generosity and financial stewardship in personal and spiritual growthViewing financial decisions as spiritual choicesCollaborating with educational and religious institutionsKey Takeaways:
Biblical financial literacy is essential, with over 2,300 Bible verses on money, illustrating the importance of understanding and applying scriptural principles in making sound financial decisions.Achieving contentment and generosity requires intentional limits, such as setting a "finish line" on lifestyle and accumulation, which allows individuals to focus more on giving and less on personal wealth.Viewing financial decisions as spiritual choices encourages individuals to see actions like tithing, spending, or saving as reflections of their faith and values, aligning their money management with biblical teachings.The Ron Blue Institute's partnerships with universities and churches are key in expanding access to financial education, using biblical principles to teach individuals how to manage money wisely while integrating faith-based wisdom into their financial lives."Generosity and financial stewardship are outcomes of a transformed heart." — Ron Blue

Adrian Brambila, a self-made millionaire who gained TikTok fame by earning $1.7 million while living in a van, and Dr. Brad Klontz, a leading authority on wealth psychology, have combined their unique expertise in Start Thinking Rich: 21 Harsh Truths to Take You from Broke to Financial Freedom. This book blends Adrian's real-world financial success with Dr. Klontz's academic insights to offer a tough-love, actionable guide for achieving financial independence. It encourages readers to confront harmful money habits and develop strategies for saving, investing, and growing wealth.
In this episode, Shawn, Adrian, and Dr. Brad discuss:
How mindset influences financial success and wealth accumulationVarious approaches to achieving financial independenceThe role of TikTok and social media as tools for teaching financial literacyChallenging traditional views on retirementKey Takeaways:
Embracing minimalism challenges the traditional view that wealth is defined by material possessions, showing that true financial freedom lies in controlling your time and choices.Changing limiting beliefs around money, such as scarcity or fear of failure, is crucial for overcoming financial struggles and achieving long-term wealth.Distancing from those with poor financial habits can help reinforce healthy financial behaviors, as your social circle significantly impacts your mindset and financial decisions.Retirement without a clear sense of purpose can lead to dissatisfaction, emphasizing the need for a structured, purpose-driven post-work life rather than simply quitting work."Wealth is not about objects. Wealth is about freedom. Wealth is about your time and choosing to live however you'd like." — Adrian Brambila

Managing risk in financial planning is crucial, as retirees who are overly exposed to high-growth investments may face significant emotional and financial stress during market downturns, requiring careful reassessment of their portfolios.Essential expenses in retirement should be safeguarded by guaranteed income sources such as annuities or Social Security to reduce the reliance on volatile markets, allowing retirees more confidence in maintaining their financial security.Those who are approaching retirement should focus on adjusting their strategies by balancing growth with protection, ensuring that their retirement portfolios offer both flexibility and stability during uncertain economic times.Financial literacy is an indispensable tool for making informed financial decisions, as people must be able to identify reliable information and avoid the pitfalls of misleading advice or scams in an era of overwhelming digital content."Having some level of financial literacy... is going to allow younger people to not go down some road, get scammed, you know, do something silly." — Stephen Kates

Biblical principles in financial decision-makingThe role of the church in financial stewardshipEducational outreach by the Ron Blue InstituteThe 4H framework for financial wisdomKey Takeaways:
The Ron Blue Institute collaborates with eight large churches in the U.S. to pilot a financial discipleship program integrating biblical principles into church ministry, going beyond traditional stewardship sermons and financial classes.The 4H framework (Heart, Health, Habits, Hope) serves as a practical tool for individuals to make financial decisions that are aligned with their faith, using scriptural references to provide guidance and reinforce a biblically-informed approach to money management.Ron Blue advocates for five core principles of biblical financial management—spend less than you earn, avoid debt, build financial margin, set long-term goals, and give generously—that are universally applicable across all income levels and provide a solid foundation for achieving financial stability.Emphasizing the belief that all possessions are ultimately owned by God and that individuals are merely stewards of these resources, the Ron Blue Institute encourages a shift in financial behavior towards managing money wisely and aligning financial practices with Christian faith."All financial behavior follows a belief system... So what the 4H tool is represented to do is to take the way that we can talk about how you and I make financial decisions and align it with our faith." — Shane Whybrew

In this episode, Shawn and Tom Hegna discuss:
Planning for financial security in retirementUsing analytical methods for retirement strategiesManaging risks related to retirementThe importance of tax considerations in retirement planningKey Takeaways:
Retirement income planning is crucial for a stable and sufficient income, requiring a strategy focused on guaranteed income, inflation protection, long-term care, and life insurance to guard against unexpected financial risks.Using math and science in retirement planning helps navigate market fluctuations and economic uncertainties by identifying optimal strategies for a secure retirement, rather than chasing unpredictable outcomes.To mitigate the impact of rising taxes and national debt, shifting assets into tax-advantaged vehicles like Roth IRAs and cash value life insurance is essential for reducing tax burdens and maximizing future net income.Effective retirement risk management involves not just having enough funds, but ensuring they last through a mix of guaranteed income products, smart investments, and understanding tax implications to maintain financial security."You gotta follow the formulas that are proven. Why deviate from something that's proven? I'm just doing exactly what I'm telling other people to do. That's what I'm doing. And look, I'm living a great retirement. I'm loving it." — Tom Hegna

In this episode, Shawn breaks down the complexities of retirement planning into a clear, actionable framework designed to empower you. You'll discover how to overcome common fears, such as running out of money or needing to work past retirement age, by understanding Shawn's "Retire Happy Framework." This episode serves as your guide to securing a fulfilling and stress-free retirement, no matter where you are in your planning journey. Tune in to take control of your financial future with confidence.
In this episode, Shawn discusses:
The need for comprehensive retirement planningThe changing nature of retirement benefitsManaging risks in retirementPlanning for healthcare in retirementKey Takeaways:
Merely having retirement accounts like a 401(k) or IRA is not enough; it is crucial to develop a comprehensive plan that includes a well-thought-out drawdown strategy to ensure you don't outlive your savings and maintain financial stability throughout retirement.As the availability of company-sponsored pensions decreases, individuals must take greater responsibility for their retirement by starting to save early, carefully managing investments, and planning for a retirement that could span several decades.Successfully navigating retirement requires a proactive approach to managing six key risks—market risk, taxation risk, inflation risk, withdrawal risk, sequence of returns risk, and longevity risk—each of which can significantly impact the sustainability of your retirement income.Factoring in the potential costs of healthcare and long-term care is essential when planning for retirement, as these expenses can be substantial, unpredictable, and have a major impact on your financial resources over time."Remember, the only one who can help your older self is your younger self. Right? So let's plan today." — Shawn Maloney

Risk management in financial planningImportance of retirement strategiesRole of debt in wealth creationValue of objective financial adviceKey Takeaways:

Importance of comprehensive estate planningRole of beneficiaries and legal documentsAdvanced directives and healthcare proxiesOrganization and digital legacyKey Takeaways:
Comprehensive estate planning requires more than just having a will or trust; it involves organizing all finances, legal documents, and considering all aspects of end-of-life transitions to ensure a smooth process for beneficiaries and heirs.It is crucial to update beneficiary forms regularly to ensure they reflect current wishes, as these forms are legally binding and take precedence over the will, potentially impacting the distribution of assets significantly.Advanced directives and healthcare proxies are essential components of estate planning, as they provide clear guidance on medical decisions and designate trusted individuals to act on one's behalf in case of incapacitation, ensuring that personal healthcare preferences are respected.Proper organization of both digital and physical assets, including passwords, identification information, and financial records, is necessary to streamline the estate transition process for loved ones, preventing confusion and ensuring that all assets are accounted for and properly managed."If you don't get started and you don't know about these terms, you're not going to have them in time for when you actually need them." — Adam Zuckerman

The importance and various aspects of planning for retirementERISA and its significanceStrategies to mitigate risks associated with retirement plansThe role and importance of financial advisors in managing retirement plansKey Takeaways:
It's essential for clients to understand that having a 401k or similar retirement account does not constitute a comprehensive retirement plan, and they need to ensure their employer-sponsored plan integrates effectively with their overall financial strategy.Fiduciary training for plan committees is often inadequate, typically squeezed into annual or quarterly meetings, and there's a significant need for more comprehensive and frequent training to ensure fiduciaries are properly equipped to act in the best interests of employees.Employers should be aware of their fiduciary duties under ERISA, including the duty of loyalty, prudence, adherence to plan documents, and diversification to avoid large losses, and they should seek expert advice if they lack the necessary expertise.Budgeting is fundamental to financial planning, and having a written budget is crucial for effective debt management and retirement planning, ensuring individuals have a clear understanding of their monthly needs and financial goals."Budgeting is the foundation to making this all work." — Eric Dyson
