Kim Blanton of the Boston College Center for Retirement Research – where she writes the Squared Away blog -- says that Americans wind up falling into some classic psychological traps when it comes time to claim Social security benefits, and often take the money before they need it based on flawed thinking, reducing their retirement benefits for life. She highlights how savers -- even when confronted with numbers showing that their lifetime benefits will be significantly better with a late start, and assuming they have a long life -- instead jump at the chance to get a smaller amount of money so long as they can start receiving it now. Nicholas Marshi, editor at the BDC Reporter, talks about the struggles business development companies had at the end of 2023 and how they have been performing in the new year, with an outlook for what's ahead as the interest rate cycle starts to change. Plus Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi makes BlackRock U.S. Equity Factor Rotation his "ETF of the Week," and Ken Applegate, portfolio manager for the Wasatch International Growth and International Select funds talks in the Market Call segment about the promise of foreign small-cap stocks now, after long periods of underperformance for both small-company and overseas investments.

Kim Blanton, writer at the Boston College Center for Retirement Research, calls the search for assisted living "an opaque experience" and notes -- through the story of her mother but also reporting from a hearing before the Senate Committee on Aging from January -- that most people focus more on the "living" part of the issues when they should be paying most attention to the assistance part of the plan. Nick Young, chief experience officer at Money Pickle joins Chuck on The Financial Crunch to discuss robo advisors compared to working with planning pros, Ted Rossman discusses a new BankRate.com survey showing that a growing number of taxpayers plan to boost savings rather than paying down debts with tax refunds this year, and Geoff Garbacz, principal at Quantitative Partners, brings his indicator-driven approach to the Market Call.

Would you like to maintain your pre-retirement spending levels and standard of living after you've retired? Some, however, intend to spend more heavily in their early retirement years, believing they will spend less as they age. These spending considerations are an important part of your retirement planning, and there is often a disparity between spending intentions and spending reality. Today, John Walker, Regional Vice President, Mercer Advisors, discusses retirement spending patterns and how they relate to good planning.  He also discusses a recent Boston College Center for Retirement Research study that looks at how retirees intend to spend vs. how they actually spend what they've saved.

Agonizing over your resume?  Put it down and pick up a pen and paper.  The key to career satisfaction might lie, instead, in figuring out your own personal definition of success.  Rather than focusing on title or salary, focus on who you want to help and how, where you want to be, and think about the goals you have for your non-working hours.  Then build your career around that.  We talk about this, and much more, in this episode of This is My Silver Lining, where we speak with Jennifer Sabatini Fraone, Director of Corporate Partnerships at Boston College Center for Work and Family (CWF), about how employers and employees are adapting to make work work for them.  Episode Links and Resources:  Jennifer Sabatini Fraone LinkedIn ProfileBC Center for Work and FamilyBCCWF Mental Health Executive Briefing SeriesBCCWF Research Materials  Support the podcast by subscribing and reviewing!Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.Technical Podcast Support by: Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.© 2022 Silver Linings Media LLC.

Episode #117: What Successful Crisis Management Looks Like Internally Episode #127: Engaging your Board on your Crisis Communication Strategy Episode Transcript Hello and Welcome to the Managing Uncertainty Podcast. This is Bryan Strawser, Principal and Chief Executive here at Bryghtpath. And in this week’s episode, I want to talk about corporate citizenship in this age of unrest that we’re all living in today. The past two years have brought renewed focus to corporate citizenship, as companies have looked to engage their customers, their employees, and their communities in the midst of economic, social, and political upheaval. Pursuing these efforts can drive large-scale meaningful change for society while differentiating a company’s brands and products to deliver a competitive advantage. But what is corporate citizenship and how can your company benefit from contributing to the broader good? Well, let’s start by looking at the evolution of this idea of corporate citizenship. According to the Boston College Center for Corporate Leadership, they define corporate citizenship is how a company exercises its rights, obligations, privileges, and overall corporate responsibility within our local and global environments. Now, this practice goes by many names, corporate social responsibility or CSR, environmental, social, and governance, ESG, corporate responsibility, conscious capitalism, or compassionate capitalism. But this is all about how a company creates a positive social and environmental impact while practicing good corporate governance while meeting its financial goals.

In this episode of Inter Vitam et Mortem, Catholic bioethicist Mary Anne Urlakis interviews a woman concerning Care for Elderly Parents. The woman has a Master's Degree in Business and is currently pursuing a second Master's Degree in Theology. In 2007, the woman's mother suffered a debilitating stroke. From then on, the woman - with the help of her siblings and other caregivers- has continued to provide loving daily care for her mother. She has lived the Corporal Acts of Mercy, and provided a profound witness to the meaning of sacrificial love. According to a 2016 report [https://www.bls.gov/news.release/elcare.nr0.htm] 41.3 Million adults in the U.S. provide unpaid care for an elder. Other studies demonstrate that approximately 29% of the US population is providing at least some substantial care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member. A recent study of 80,000 participants published by the Boston College Center for Retirement Research demonstrated that 17% of adult children provide substantial care for a parent. In this interview, the woman and Mary Anne discuss caring for an aged parent and focus on the bioethical and theological relevance of seeing the Image of God reflected in the parent for whom we are caring.

Conversations about juggling work and family often revolve around challenges faced by moms who are employed outside the home. But a study at Boston College’s Center for Work and Family is changing the conversation, with findings that highlight how some fathers are facing similar struggles as they take on increasing responsibility at home and still strive to succeed in their careers.   Dr. Brad Harrington, Executive Director of the BC Center and lead investigator on the study, joins Marti & Erin for this provocative discussion of what is happening in the lives of many American fathers today.   In your own family, how is childrearing divided between mom and dad? What about other aspects of household work? How is juggling work and family shaped by the amount and type of out-of-home employment for each parent? What would you change and what would you keep the same about the way childrearing and household tasks are distributed in your family?   To read the results of Boston College Center for Work & Family’s study of The New Dad, click here.

Brad Harrington is Executive Director of the Boston College Center for Work & Family and leads research focusing on the changing role of fathers, career management, and work-life integration. He recently completed a series of papers collectively titled The New Dad Research that examines how fathers manage their career and parenting responsibilities. He is also author of Career Management and Work/Life Integration: Using Self-Assessment to Navigate Contemporary Careers. In this episode, Brad and Stew explore findings of The New Dad Research and discuss the changing roles of men and women in society and the workplace. Brad found that despite the upward trend of fathers as primary caregivers, there are still organizational and societal barriers to achieving equality between men and women at home and at work. This episode features three short conversations between Stew and listeners of the Work and Life radio show, each one with a unique story about fathers. Show Notes (times when new topics start) 2:30. Emergence of research on fathers. What brought Brad to this research and how the idea of fathers-as-caregivers has changed over the years. There remains a large gap between the aspirations of fathers and the current realities they face. 12:15. Traditional, Egalitarian, and Conflicted Dads. Brad’s research shows there are three types of fathers -- and one of them is worse off than the others. 19:05. Advice for Conflicted Dads. Conflicted fathers can benefit most from talking with their spouse, co workers, and communities about what it means to be an active and engaged father. 27:45 - Listeners call in to share their stories. Three fans of our podcast call to talk with Stew about modern fatherhood. Stew offers advice to each of them about their unique situation. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
