Paul Merriman brings 60+ years of investing experience to the Retire Today podcast, breaking down what really determines retirement success. Most investors think it's about picking the right fund or timing the market—but Paul says the biggest threats aren't headlines. They're costs and emotions.In the 1960s, investors routinely paid 8.5% to buy a mutual fund. Today fees are far lower, but the impact is still huge. Paul notes that even a 1% difference in expenses “can cost you about $3.5 million over a lifetime” because compounding works both for you and against you.Behavior can cost even more. “When the market goes down, people panic,” Paul explains. Selling in a downturn—the “I just can't take it anymore” moment—means locking in losses and missing the recovery. His advice: don't time the market. Build a plan you can actually stick to.When asked what separates retirees who thrive from those who struggle, Paul's answer is simple: education. What you learn and who you learn it from shapes your decisions—and helps you stay calm when markets get rough. That's why his nonprofit work focuses on teaching diversified, simple, low-cost strategies through guides like Sound Investing Portfolios and We're Talking Millions!Paul once promoted a 10-fund “Ultimate Buy-and-Hold” portfolio, but even John Bogle told him it was too complex. After testing simpler versions, Paul found that two-, four-, and six-fund portfolios often matched or beat the original. You can explore these models at PaulMerriman.com/portfolios. The takeaway: simplicity makes discipline easier.We also discussed retirement withdrawals. Paul recommends a flexible approach: take a bit less after down years and a bit more when markets are strong. This can reduce stress and help your portfolio last. “If you know how long you're likely to live and how much you have,” he says, “that knowledge gives you freedom—not fear.”If you're approaching retirement, here's Paul's short list:Diversify with low-cost index funds. Focus on the right mix, not the perfect pick.Match risk to reality. Choose a stock/bond split you can live with in bad markets.Use flexible withdrawals. Adjust spending based on market conditions.Keep behavior boring. Automate rebalancing and ignore predictions.Invest in education. Knowledge keeps emotions from running the show.You've worked hard to build your savings. Now build a plan that works just as hard—quietly, efficiently, and with confidence. Watch the full conversation on YouTube for more on fees, behavior, portfolio design, and practical withdrawal strategies.

Send us a textA six‑week window can change your entire year. With rates easing, swap markets stabilizing, and millions of fixed deals expiring in the next 18 months, this is the moment to act with precision and purpose. We break down what's moving the mortgage market, why lenders are sharpening prices, and how a short December can derail clients who wait until January. Most importantly, we share a step‑by‑step outreach plan to protect relationships, secure competitive options early, and build momentum for 2026.We start with a clear market snapshot—base rate steady, lenders competing on two‑ and five‑year fixes, and affordability nudging in the right direction—then zoom into the operational realities that matter: holiday staffing gaps, potential repricing after the Autumn Statement, and lender retention engines pushing product transfers direct to your clients. You'll learn how to segment your database for 2026 expiries, craft concise messages that cut through inbox noise, and use calls, texts, and WhatsApp to book quick “rate check” reviews that turn intent into action.From there, we tackle the human side. Payment shock is real even as rates soften, so we map practical steps to review budgets, stress test repayments, and add resilience with income protection, life cover, and critical illness where suitable. For landlords, we outline portfolio restructuring options amid tax and regulatory shifts. We also share how to educate clients around the budget—what could change on stamp duty, landlord reliefs, or green incentives—and why timely updates position you as the advisor they call first. Finally, we look ahead to AI: as lenders scale retention tech, brokers who pair smart tools with personal advice will win the long game.If today's plan helps, tap follow, share this with a broker who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review so more advisers can find it.

Send us a textEpisode SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Latifat breaks down one of the most common money questions high-earning women physicians ask: “Should I pay for a financial advisor?”Here's the honest truth — most people are paying thousands of dollars every year for work they could easily automate themselves. Data shows that a simple, low-cost index fund strategy (think Boglehead-style investing) often performs just as well as many actively managed portfolios — minus the hefty fees.But this isn't about villainizing financial advisors. It's about empowering you to understand what you're paying for and making sure you're actually getting value in return.If your financial advisor is helping you strategize, optimize, and grow beyond what you could do on your own — that's worth exploring. If not? It may be time to reclaim that money and redirect it toward your own wealth-building goals.

In this episode, John Wilson and guest Rich Jordan dig into one of the scariest (and most valuable) moves you can make in home service: rebranding multiple companies into a single brand.Rich runs three acquired companies across New Hampshire and New Jersey…and he's in the middle of rolling them all into one new identity: High Ground Service Pros. They walk through why he's willingly tearing down a strong local brand (Sanford), what's driving the decision, and how he's trying to avoid losing customers, culture, or SEO in the process.From “house of brands” vs “branded house” to truck wraps, domains, Google Business Profiles, and core values (“seize the high ground”), this is a tactical conversation for anyone growing through acquisition or multi-market expansion.What You'll LearnWhen to keep multiple brands vs. going all-in on one — and how that choice impacts growth, culture, and marketing.How to execute a rebrand without losing customers — scripts, GBPs, websites, and call center tactics that actually work.Where the real ROI comes from — SEO, media, and operational focus once every truck and trade is under a single name.

The order-management lifecycle is ripe for automation — especially in the form of artificial intelligence.

Property managers are drowning in admin. What if you could save two hours every day? That's an entire month per year. (As Nikki says, "I'd be in Italy.") In this episode of Thought Leaders, we sit down with Nikki D'Agostino, a director, consultant, and mum of two who just won two major REIWA awards: Strata Manager of the Year and Strata Management Agency of the Year. Nikki runs multiple businesses by "automating the mundane to focus on the meaningful." She reveals her "human-first" AI strategy for eliminating the "soul-destroying" busy work (like arrears calls and paperwork) so her team can focus on the 1,600+ owners who need a human touch. In this episode, you will learn: The Monday Task Audit: How to track every task you do for one day, feed it to ChatGPT, and have AI build a matrix of what you must Automate, Delegate, or Eliminate. Agentic AI: Why Nikki is deploying AI agents to handle arrears calls, payment plans, and paperwork, freeing up her team for high-value human interaction. The Human-First Strategy: How the future isn't about replacing people but about creating better humans who excel at relationships and problem-solving.

Lative, the AI sales planning platform for sales and go-to-market teams, has announced it has raised $7.5 million in funding to boost product development and expand its go-to-market. The round, co-led by Act Venture Capital and Senovo VC, has also been backed by Elkstone, Enterprise Ireland, WestWave Capital, Handshake Ventures and Shuttle. Among customers utilising the platform already for more precise sales planning are Seismic, Intercom, Aiven, Avalara and Version 1. Lative helps companies understand their sales data and invest resources where they'll have the greatest impact. Instead of juggling multiple sheets, models and disconnected tools, Lative unifies the sales planning process in one cloud-based platform by connecting top-down targets and quota plans with bottom-up sales productivity and capacity. Teams can model and simulate future org designs to have the most effective sales team for achieving revenue goals, adjust plans in real time, and gain clear visibility into sales productivity and efficiency through AI Insights. This allows them to make smarter hiring and investment decisions based on data rather than assumptions, identify risks and opportunities before they impact revenue, and track execution with confidence. Lative was launched in 2022 by industry veterans Werner Schmidt and Laura Tortosa Sancho, bringing together over 32 years of senior operations experience from Sage, Citrix, and Deloitte. They recognised a common pain point: manual, fragmented sales planning that lacks real-time visibility and tracking execution. Frustrated by high-performing teams wasting time on outdated spreadsheets and models, Werner and Laura created Lative to deliver real-time sales intelligence and automated planning with AI. For end users, this means smarter planning, instant insights, and the ability to make faster, better decisions with customers seeing up to 24% increases in sales productivity across segments. "We saw the same issue over and over again, in every company we worked in - sales planning was slow, manual, and stuck in spreadsheets," said Werner Schmidt, Co-Founder and CEO of Lative. "We built Lative to change that, and to give sales teams real-time visibility and confidence so every decision is informed, not guessed in this critical activity for go to market organisations. Every sales organisation needs to plan and track execution, and it's mainly done in spreadsheets today. Now there's a better way." The sales performance management market, valued at over $2.3 billion in 2023, is projected to exceed $7 billion by 2030, showing the demand for solutions that automate and optimise sales execution. In just 15 months, Lative has achieved 10x growth, a clear sign of the demand for such a product. The company was recently ranked second to Salesforce on G2's Sales Planning Grid. Lative has also forged strategic integration partnerships with data platform leaders Salesforce, HubSpot, and Snowflake to enable seamless data sharing for revenue teams. "Lative is driving a paradigm shift to sales planning and optimisation teams that is long overdue. By helping teams identify what's working and what isn't in real-time, problems are identified before they become too large to manage," said Dr. Alexander Buchberger, Partner at Senovo. "RevOps leaders love Lative when they see it. New AI Consumption models now need better tooling to manage complexity. Lative helps industry leaders like Seismic, Intercom and Version 1 see true sales productivity and capacity in real-time to deliver efficient growth. Werner, Laura, and their team are defining a new category with an exciting AI roadmap." said Andrew O'Neill, Principal at Act. "Lative allows us to see our productive sales capacity in real-time which is fundamental to how we scale the business and invest in the right areas to accelerate growth." said Mathieu Cognac, Vice President of Revenue Operations at Seismic.

For as much as we all joke about the, "kids these days" mentality that every generation seems to have in one form or another, for most of human history this sentiment was often more anecdotalI than anything else. Typically we see youth as a combination of  'risky behavior' mixed with 'poor decision-making' - a dangerous cocktail to be certain - but trying something new at ANY stage of life will often look foolish to those on the outside. The question each of us faces, then, is how much are we willing to trust ourselves. It's a question my guest this week wants her clients to answer with confidence, and maybe a little bit of laughter. Nermin Jasani joins us this week for a conversation about how she went from managing to get into a Wall Street job at the height of the financial crisis to moving across the country to attempt a tech start up, ultimately coming back to the law as a consultant for other women in the profession. We discuss the importance of hiring good people, why technology is fantastic but can't replace our responsibilities, and how the business of law is always rooted in the economics of Supply & Demand.Enjoy the show!

In part one of this Building Better Foundations interview, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche talk with Greg Lind, founder of Buildly and OpenBuild, about bridging the gap in software development through AI, automation, and collaboration. Greg shares how modern teams can overcome silos, strengthen communication, and build transparency into their workflows — creating stronger, more adaptive foundations for success in today's fast-paced, AI-driven world. "We wanted to bring developers and product managers into one tool—so they could build together rather than as two separate teams." — Greg Lind About the Guest — Greg Lind Gregory Lind is an American software developer, author, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in open-source innovation, software efficiency, and team transparency. He's the founder of Buildly in Brooklyn and co-founder of Humanitec in Berlin, helping organizations modernize systems through collaboration and automation. A frequent speaker at Open Gov and Open Source conferences, Greg advocates for open, scalable solutions and smarter software processes. His upcoming book, "Radical Therapy for Software Teams" (Apress, 2024), explores how transparency and AI can transform how teams build software. Bridging the Gap Between Teams and Tools Greg's journey toward bridging the gap started years ago while working with Humanitech in Berlin, where he saw firsthand how poorly connected processes caused frustration and inefficiency. Traditional Agile frameworks, while once revolutionary, began to buckle under the pressure of multi-repo, multi-cloud, and AI-driven development. "Agile started to break under the pressure—especially when we introduced AI-driven tools and CI/CD pipelines. The cycles just weren't fast enough." — Greg Lind To solve this, Buildly introduced a Rapid AI Development (RAD) process — a modern evolution of Agile that supports faster, release-based cycles rather than rigid sprints. It's an approach designed to keep pace with today's distributed teams and complex workflows. Bridging the Gap Through Automated Communication At the heart of Buildly's philosophy is a belief that communication shouldn't slow developers down — it should empower them. By integrating tools like Trello and GitHub, Buildly connects product and sprint backlogs into one transparent view. Developers' commits, issues, and updates automatically feed into team dashboards, reducing the need for endless meetings and manual updates. "You shouldn't have to explain what you did yesterday. Your commits already tell that story." — Greg Lind This approach allows teams to focus on outcomes rather than overhead — building trust, visibility, and true alignment across departments. It's automation as a bridge, not a barrier. Using AI to Bridge the Gap Between People and Process While Greg embraces AI's potential, he warns against depending on it too heavily. AI is great at identifying tasks and patterns, but humans still bring creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking to the table. "AI can tell you what's urgent, but it can't understand what's important." — Greg Lind In Greg's view, AI should be a co-pilot — helping teams filter information, automate repetitive work, and focus on higher-value decisions. By balancing automation with human insight, teams can bridge the gap between efficiency and innovation. Empowering Developers to Bridge the Gap Themselves Greg encourages developers not to wait for leadership to fix broken processes — but to take initiative. Automate your own workflows, visualize your backlog, and demonstrate how better systems can look in practice. "Even if you have to automate your own backlog—do it. Show your team what better looks like." — Greg Lind This proactive mindset transforms teams from reactive to adaptive, ensuring that everyone contributes to bridging the gap between communication, accountability, and delivery. Bridging the Gap Toward the Future of Development Greg Lind's insights remind us that bridging the gap in software development isn't about adopting the latest framework — it's about reconnecting people, process, and purpose. When teams share context, communicate openly, and use AI responsibly, they build stronger foundations for innovation. As this episode shows, the future of software isn't about faster code — it's about better collaboration. And bridging the gap is where that future begins.

Today, we take a nuanced look at automating cyber risk management.   Let's start with ingress of data.  Kemp Jennings-Roach from the DoD understands the concept of having a complete inventory of an agency's data. Still, his experience shows that data coming in from multiple missions, potentially with various classifications, can be challenging.   Combine that with varying kinds of reporting requirements, and you get a process that can overwhelm even the most experienced individuals. His recommendation is to consider a platform approach that can help normalize data, allowing it to be used in a meaningful way.   Matt Goodrich from Diligent expands on some of the benefits of automation. For example, you may have a shortage of talent that can be compensated for with an automated platform. Automation reduces human error and can speed up the time to report.   Goodrich makes a great point about summarizing information. The goal of reviewing logs for anomalies is not to create a report, but to increase speed to action.      Rather than arbitrarily selecting an automated system, Goodrich suggests looking for tools that can integrate with existing systems and align with compliance frameworks, such as FedRAMP and NIST CSF.

Developing strong financial habits starts with understanding how you interact with money—both consciously and unconsciously. To truly make the most of what you earn, you need to uncover the hidden patterns in your spending and recognize where money might be slipping away. So, what everyday habits could be quietly draining your wallet without you even realizing it?   Links: Want lower interest rates?

Part of taking charge involves recognizing all the productive and unproductive ways we're spending our money.   Last week we covered five sneaky ways our habits can drain our wallets and this week I'm going to present five more for you to be aware of.  Exorbitantly High Interest Loans High-interest loans—like payday loans, certain credit cards, or quick cash advances—can trap you in a relentless cycle of debt. What starts as a short-term fix often turns into long-term financial strain, with interest piling up faster than you can pay it down. These types of loans are especially risky in tough economic times, when borrowing may feel like the only option. Unfortunately, the high rates make it difficult to catch up, and the stress of mounting debt can affect your overall financial health.  If you recently discovered you're paying a lot of money towards high-interest debt, explore alternatives like refinancing, balance transfers to lower-interest cards, or consolidating debt through a reputable lender. If you're unsure where to start, speaking with a financial advisor or nonprofit credit counselor can help you find safer, more sustainable solutions.   Overspending on Convenience Services Food delivery, express shipping, and pre-packaged items are all about ease—but that convenience comes at a cost. Whether it's the markup on restaurant meals, the extra fees for rush shipping, or the premium price of ready-made products, these small expenses can quietly snowball into a major budget drain. It's tempting to lean on these services when life gets busy, but using them regularly can eat into your finances more than you might expect. In today's economy, where every dollar matters, convenience should be a conscious choice—not a default habit.   Plan ahead to reduce reliance on convenience services. Cooking at home, batching errands, or choosing standard shipping instead of express can lead to meaningful savings without sacrificing too much comfort.  Lifestyle Inflation As income grows, spending often grows right along with it—a phenomenon known as lifestyle inflation. It's easy to justify upgrades like a nicer car, more frequent dining out, or luxury gadgets when you're earning more, but these habits rarely improve long-term financial security. In fact, they can quietly prevent you from building savings, investing, or reaching bigger financial goals. Without a plan, higher income can lead to higher expenses and little progress.   Keep your lifestyle modest even as your earnings rise. Automate savings so a portion of your income goes directly into a savings or investment account, and set clear financial goals to stay focused. That way, you can enjoy your success without letting it slip through your fingers.  Buying Low-Quality Items That Need Frequent Replacement Cheap products may seem like a bargain at first glance, but poor quality often leads to more frequent replacements—costing you more over time. Whether it's clothing that wears out after a few washes, electronics that break down quickly, or furniture that doesn't hold up, these purchases can become a cycle of spending that feels never-ending. In the long run, constantly replacing low-quality items can drain your budget and leave you frustrated. Plus, the environmental impact of disposable goods adds another layer of cost that's easy to overlook.  Invest in durable, well-reviewed items when possible. While the upfront cost may be higher, quality purchases tend to last longer, perform better, and offer greater value—saving you money and hassle down the road. Overpaying for Expensive Brand Names Premium brands often charge significantly more for products that offer similar quality to generic or store-brand alternatives. While the packaging and marketing may be more polished, the actual performance or ingredients are often nearly identical. In many cases, you're paying extra for the name, not the value. This is especially true with household goods, groceries, and personal care items, where brand loyalty can overshadow smart spending. Over time, these brand-based purchases can quietly inflate your expenses without delivering better results.  Take a moment to compare ingredients, reviews, and performance before buying. You might be surprised to find that a lower-cost alternative works just as well—or even better—than the name-brand version.  Being mindful of these habits doesn't mean you have to live ultra-frugally or give up the things you enjoy. It's about making smarter choices that align with your financial goals. A few small changes can lead to big savings—and a lot less stress when you check your bank account.  That concludes this week's list of five more sneaky habits that can drain your wallet.

Most people fail with money because they're stuck in extremes. Underwhelmed by the same old advice like "save more, spend less, lock it away and hope compound interest saves the day." The truth is simple: You are the asset. Your ability to create value is the greatest investment you'll ever have. This episode breaks down Garrett Gunderson's framework for the six money moves that actually matter. Stop locking money away in qualified plans. Stop self-insuring when you should transfer risk. Stop overpaying taxes as a W-2 employee with only 8 deductions when business owners access 475. Focus on cash flow assets that let you live today while building wealth for tomorrow. The penalty for following broken financial philosophies is permanent, but aligning your plan with who you are brings freedom sooner than you think.Chapters:00:25 - Opening Segment04:55 - Why most people fail with money06:35 - You are the greatest asset08:15 - The underwhelming advice: save, spend less, lock it away10:35 - Spend less is capped - grow yourself as an asset instead14:50 - Overwhelmed by conflicting tips19:05 - Teaching value creation20:20 - Step 1: Automate and build liquidity with whole life23:20 - Daily burn rate calculation method (263 days liquidity example)26:50 - Step 2: Transfer risk, don't self-insure29:05 - Pacific Palisades fires: Self-insurance myth exposed33:15 - Step 3: Estate and entity structure (trusts vs wills)39:35 - Step 4: Stop tipping the government41:05 - 8 deductions vs 475: W-2 employees vs business owners43:55 - Sourdough bread business example45:50 - Step 5: Invest in alignment with your investor DNA46:25 - Get to vs have to - does it feel like noise?50:00 - Step 6: Focus on cash flow, not accumulation54:45 - Living today while building for tomorrow57:20 - Closing SegmentKey Takeaways:You are your greatest asset - ability to create value is the greatest investment you'll ever haveStandard advice (save more, spend less, hope for compound interest) keeps you brokeStep 1: Automate liquidity using whole life as emergency fund - calculate daily burn rate to know exact days of liquidityStep 2: Self-insurance is a myth - transfer catastrophic risk to insurance companies for pennies on the dollarStep 3: Get trust in place to avoid probate - if you don't have estate plan, government has one for youStep 4: W-2 employees have 8 tax deductions, business owners with EIN have 475 - create business entity nowStep 5: Invest in your investor DNA - ask "do I GET to do this or HAVE to do this?"Step 6: Focus on cash flow assets, not buy-and-hold accumulation in qualified plansGot Questions?
