Teaching kids the value of money and about finances can be a challenge but our expert guest today has some many great ways to help with that. Some of what you'll hear in this mini episode includes: What is the average payout from the Tooth Fairy? How can parents raise financially savvy children? How can parents take control of their finances? Where can we go for more information? From prioritizing college tuition to choosing how to compensate their children, a new study from Ameriprise reveals the financial pressures parents are facing to provide their children with the best life possible. Many parents worry the tradeoffs they're making now will impact their long-term financial futures. The research also revealed opportunities for parents to shore up their own finances. Parents & Finances Study Insights: 7 out of 10 parents (72%) experience parental guilt with more than a third (35%) putting pressure on themselves to be the perfect parent. Most parents (70%) involve their children in family financial decisions to help instill values and half (49%) started investing for their children's future before they turned five. Fun Fact: Do You Know the Average Payout of a Tooth Fairy Visit?   Almost all parents (96%) enlist the “Tooth Fairy” to help fill their children's piggy banks. On average, the Tooth Fairy pays $5 per tooth. About Deana Healy: Deana Healy, CFP® is Vice President, Financial Planning & Advice for Ameriprise Financial.

Send us a textWhat happens when you deliberately choose difficulty and discomfort? In this powerful reunion episode with Brian Mora, we explore how voluntary adversity shapes character, expands capabilities, and ultimately leads to greater fulfillment.Since we last spoke two years ago, Brian has transformed his life through deliberate challenge. After taking on leadership of recruiting at Ameriprise Financial, he learned stand-up paddleboarding from scratch to complete the 79-mile Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis event from the Bahamas to Florida. Perhaps most significantly, he fulfilled his entrepreneurial dream by opening a Rumble Boxing franchise, stepping far outside his corporate comfort zone.The conversation reveals practical wisdom for anyone seeking growth. Brian emphasizes starting with meaningful challenges, identifying potential obstacles, creating progress markers, and cultivating accountability partnerships. He shares how his paddleboard journey through shark-infested waters taught perseverance, while his boxing studio revealed striking differences between financial services and fitness industries—particularly regarding customer relationships and retention.Most powerfully, Brian addresses the core barrier many face: the fear of being bad at something new. He advocates dual visualization—picturing both the rewards of persevering and the risks of inaction. This approach provides motivation through difficult moments and helps overcome the natural tendency to avoid discomfort.Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply seeking to build more discipline into your daily routine, this episode offers a blueprint for embracing discomfort as a path to growth. As Brian notes, "The key to a long life is continuing to challenge yourself"—wisdom backed by neuroscience and demonstrated through his remarkable journey.Ready to step outside your comfort zone and discover what you're truly capable of? Listen, reflect, and take that first uncomfortable step toward meaningful growth.Support the showhttps://bamboolab3.com/

The Ameriprise Financial managing director shares her best advice for financial advisors interested in boosting their presence on social media.

Hosts Don McDonald and Tom Cock emphasize the critical importance of hiring a fiduciary financial advisor, legally required to act in your best interests and transparently disclose conflicts of interest, such as fees and commissions. They caution listeners against advisors who misleadingly claim fiduciary status and advise verifying credentials through reliable resources like FINRA's BrokerCheck. By reviewing documents like Form ADV Part 2, investors can clearly identify conflicts of interest and fee structures. Highlighting examples from Ameriprise Financial and Appella Wealth, they illustrate the contrast between firms with extensive conflicts and those genuinely fiduciary-focused. The hosts underscore maintaining diversified, low-cost portfolios and avoiding market timing. They encourage investors to utilize available educational resources and thorough advisor vetting to secure their financial well-being. 0:32 Introduction to Fiduciary Responsibility 2:11 Finding a Fiduciary Financial Advisor 6:39 Verifying Advisor Credentials 8:39 Researching Financial Firms 11:23 Understanding Fees and Compensation 13:23 Conflicts of Interest Explained 16:43 Importance of Due Diligence 21:39 Listener Questions on Investment Strategies Learn more about your ad choices.

For our last show of Season 6, it's an ode to winter. A winter of whimsical skaters on frozen London rivers, of Japanese villages buried in snow—a winter that barely exists anymore, if it ever really did. It's the winter of art and literature, where the snow is always pure and plentiful, and beauty and metaphor matter most—a “wintry mix” we can all appreciate. A special announcement: Our first-ever live show will be January 23 at our home museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, at 6 p.m. The show is free, but seating is limited and tickets are required. Get tickets online starting December 23 at 9:30 a.m. by going to at artsmia.org, clicking on the tickets tab, and scrolling to The Object LIVE! Presented by Ameriprise Financial.

More information at https://new.artsmia.org/event/the-object-live-presented-by-ameriprise-financial A standout winter painting (and recent addition to Mia's collection) is this Winter Landscape by the Finnish painter David Johannes Niemelä, from 1909: https://collections.artsmia.org/art/145286/winter-landscape-david-johannes-niemelae If you need a refresher on the Little Ice Age or its art, almost surreal in both its recency and its sights, here's the quick and icy: https://fiveminutehistory.com/20-amazing-winter-paintings-from-the-little-ice-age/

When Jason Grom returned to our show, not only did he bring with him the echoes of past victories but also a treasure trove of fresh revelations from the intersecting paths of his personal and professional life. As a Vice President at Ameriprise Financial, he's seen the palpable impact of our previous discussions ripple through the lives of listeners, and this time, he's here to celebrate the strides taken since—spanning the joyous Disney escapades with his family, to the five-star launch of his latest book. Our exchange traverses the landscapes of family learning, the rediscovery of personal passions, and the stepping stones of a career that's as much about touching lives as it is about financial planning.I've always believed that history is more than just dates and battles—it's the heartbeat of those who lived it. That's why sharing the emotional journey of converting my grandfather's World War II diaries into "A Soldier's Song" brings a sense of fulfillment that's hard to articulate. From transcribing his handwritten notes to the cathartic release of presenting the published book to his grandmother, we uncover the importance of safeguarding personal histories and the life lessons that soldier on through the ages. It's a tale that underlines the essence of family, the imprints of the past, and the inheritance we leave for future generations.As we march towards the horizon of our daily lives, it's the routines we cultivate, the values we hold dear, and the growth we seek that form the mosaic of our existence. This episode isn't just about the triumphs and trials of Jason and myself; it's about embracing each sunrise as a canvas for achievement and allowing the principles of family, health, wealth, meaningful work, and faith to serve as our compass. So join us on this reflective foray into the heart of what it means to live purposefully, to cherish the reading lamp's gentle glow, and to nurture the legacies we're all crafting, one day, one decision at a time.Please check out the links below:A Soldier's Song:Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Soldiers-Song-World-Sergeant-Anderson/dp/B0CZPKH4Z5/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 Barnes & Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-soldiers-song-jason-grom/1145514557?ean=9798990371002Moments of Happiness:https://www.amazon.com/s?k=moments+of+happiness+leckrone&i=stripbooks&ref=nb_sb_nossThink 2 Perform Values Exercise:https://www.think2perform.com/values/Support the Show.https://bamboolab3.com/

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Niraj Chhabra discuss:How law firm financial planning is different from the average person. Building a relationship on education first with your financial advisor. Avoiding outgrowing your income. Understanding your expenses now to know what you need for the future. Thinking about and planning for long-term care.  Key Takeaways:Attorneys need more than just retirement planning, but it is often overlooked. Your savings should increase in proportion to your income and everything else. If you think creatively, there are ways to use time and money to your advantage for the future that isn't taxed. Everyone considers monthly costs, but many do not consider seasonal budget items like traveling expenses or holiday budgets.  "Whether you make $100K per year or $1M per year you have the same limits on how much you can put into your 401K and defer on your taxes. So we got to find creative ways to get that money to work outside of the bank account, we have to find creative ways to defer taxes and take advantage of vehicles that other folks may not be taking advantage of." —  Niraj Chhabra Email Steve at Steve@Fretzin.com for a chance to audit one of his exclusive rainmaker round table groups in April! Thank you to our Sponsors!Lawmatics: https://www.lawmatics.com/bethatlawyer/Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Green Cardigan Marketing: https://greencardiganmarketing.com/ Episode References: The Power of Less: The fine Art of Limiting Yourself to the Essential…in Business and in Life by Leo Babauta: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Less-Limiting-Yourself-Essential/dp/1401309704 About Niraj Chhabra: Niraj Chhabra is the Managing Director of SideBar Advisors.

Here's one of our best podcasts from the archive that you may have missed.Thanks for listening to Money Talks News…the podcast!   Let's start with a question: Do you have enough in your retirement account? According to a recent report from Vanguard, the average American has around $140,000 saved for retirement. For those 65 and older, that average balance is about twice that, or $280,000. Sounds like a lot, right? But for many people, even with Social Security, it's not going to be enough. If that's you, let's fix it. In this podcast, we help you create a plan to beef up those retirement savings. As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week's guest is a friend of the show, Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins. Disclaimer:Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments, never take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any other money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.

The rise of insourced chief investment officers (ICIOs) poses a direct challenge to old-guard legacy providers. Equipped with contemporary insights, data-driven decision-making, and quantitative investment management solutions, ICIOs are transforming investment strategies and setting new heights in the area of financial growth and security. In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Chris Shuba, Founder and CEO of Helios Quantitative Research. After spending time at Ameriprise Financial and as a senior quant analyst at Columbia Threadneedle, Chris focused on developing mathematical models that could help financial advisors mitigate the market's volatility. These models were met with interest by a broad range of clients, and within the year, financial advisors nationwide were accessing his algorithms.  Believing that the majority of existing services available to financial advisors lack innovation, are too expensive, and enable commoditization in the wealth management industry, Chris talks to Rusty and Robyn about how he created his own service category, the insourced chief investment officer, and how this service can help financial advisors grow their firm.  Key Takeaways [02:55] - A brief history of Chris' career. [04:46] - What led to the creation of Helios? [07:39] - What sets Helios apart from other asset management firms? [09:26] - The difference between an ICIO and an OCIO. [12:18] - How having an ICIO can help advisors grow their firm. [14:54] - Why advisors are attracted to model portfolios. [18:13] - Customized vs. personalized model portfolios. [21:42] - How Helios boosts customization. [25:08] - How Helios handles large amounts of data. [26:51] - Chris' outlook on interest rates. [29:13] - Chris' thoughts on the impact of AI in the financial industry. [32:11] - Chris's favorite investment idea. [33:22] - How Chris maintains his energy to perform at a high level. [34:19] - The people Chris is grateful for professionally. [36:13] - Chris' recommendations for content. [38:05] - Tips for fantasy football drafts. Quotes [16:16] - "Models will always have a flaw. If they're designed well, a model will always have an Achilles heel because it's going to have its sweet spot. But to have that, you have to have that part where it's designed to fail. And the beautiful part about a model is essentially what you're doing is picking what type of failure you're okay with." ~ Chris Shuba [22:00] - "A well-built, mathematically diverse portfolio can do very well in some of the most extreme environments." ~ Chris Shuba [26:03] - "There is a very definitive line between academia and the real world. And one of the big differences about Helios is that we do everything we can to live in the real world. That is where the rubber meets the road conversation between the advisor and their client and what they see on TV." ~ Chris Shuba Links  Chris Shuba on LinkedIn Chris Shuba on Twitter Helios Quantitative Research Seven Nation Army Ameriprise Financial Columbia Threadneedle Investments Connect with Us Meet Rusty Vanneman, Orion's Chief Investment Officer Check Out All of Orion's Podcasts Power Your Growth with Orion 2439-OPS-9/1/2023

Today's podcast is a replay of a popular show we did a few months back. So if you didn't hear it the first time, or want to hear it again, now's your chance. Thanks for listening to Money Talks News…the podcast! Let's start with a question: Do you have enough in your retirement account? According to a recent report from Vanguard, the average American has around $140,000 saved for retirement. For those 65 and older, that average balance is about twice that, or $280,000. Sounds like a lot, right? But for many people, even with Social Security, it's not going to be enough. If that's you, let's fix it. In this podcast, we help you create a plan to beef up those retirement savings. As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. This week's guest is a friend of the show, Joe Saul-Sehy from Stacking Benjamins. Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments, never take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any other money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.

While the 2008 financial crash turned out to be a reliable source of career lessons for many of our finance leader guests, Joel Campbell may be the first CFO to share with us a customer support lesson learned from the crisis. Back in 2006, Campbell, a seasoned treasury executive, had been recruited to help to build a robust treasury function for Ameriprise Financial, the recently spun-off financial planning division of American Express. “Those first 2 years were really about finishing this spin-off process, but the day that's burned infamously into my mind is September 16, 2008,” remembers Campbell, who reports that this was the day when a money market fund widely used by Ameriprise customers “broke the buck.” “It became the first money market fund in investing history to let its net asset value drop below a dollar—and this had just never happened before,” continues Campbell, who adds that the fund served more than 300,000 Ameriprise customers who had routinely deposited their excess cash into it with the intent of using the proceeds to pay a variety of expenses, from mortgages to college tuitions. Not more than 10 days after the fund “broke the buck,” Ameriprise's management team committed $400 million from its own balance sheet to support those customers impacted by the fund's sudden collapse. Besides underlining the prioritization of customer care, Campbell notes, the experience also shaped his perspectives on treasury and finance. “It helped me to think about how to look forward,' remarks Campbell, who continues to laud Ameriprise's response, “and I'm saying ‘look forward' with regard not just to what's happening in a business but also to trying to understand where the market is headed. It's all about reading the signs so that you can step back and make sure that you're making the right decisions from a risk or liquidity standpoint to be able to both run your business and support your customers in the right way.” Says Campbell: “It's the response that sticks with me. It was how the executive team quickly pivoted and said, ‘We need to take care of the customer, period. Full stop.'” –Jack Sweeney
