It's been a bumpy ride for banks lately – but context is everything! That's why Josh Bretl, our fearless host and founder of FSR Wealth Strategies, is here to decode the collapse in recent weeks of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic.When we talk about these bank failures and the role of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.) in bailing them out, it's important to understand the customer base of the institutions involved.You'll learn on this episode of Retirement Equals Freedom about the three key factors that have driven topsy-turvy ledger sheets and exposure for banks in general – but most especially among those serving primarily high-tech players holding lots of cash.Interest rates at an all-time low converged with pandemic stimulus checks that produced a massive influx of cash deposits.What happened next (you'll have to tune in!) had everything to do with how those deposits and other cash holdings were invested and what occurred when interest rates started to rise.Some banks – like those that specialize in serving the tech industry – have proved especially vulnerable. Risk mitigation is critical for just such situations, explains Josh, but you can rest assured that the banking system overall is fundamentally sound.And remember: any account with a balance of up to $250,000 will always be covered by the FDIC.It's been a wake-up call for many of us who have been in an economic “dream state” the past 15 years, but there are fortunately lots of great financial planning strategies to help you navigate our new economic realities.Josh and his Co-Host, Dave Schmidt, also leave you with some bonus advice to help manage the stress: Be kind. Go out there and live your life. We can make the world a better place!Want to understand why it's actually a bad thing for yields on investment vehicles like U.S. Treasury Bonds when interest rates go up? Listen to Episode 19 of Retirement Equals Freedom: "Do Bonds Have a Place in My Portfolio?"If you're feeling queasy about the recent banking roller-coaster, now may be the time to chat with Josh directly.

Actuarially speaking, death these days isn't really a downer! As Host Josh Bretl highlights with data points on this episode of Retirement Equals Freedom, the average human life span has stretched way out beyond previous generations.The good news is, that means more years to enjoy! But that positive headline also comes with a word to the wise: You're going to want to do some planning to ensure you've got enough fuel in the tank to enjoy all the days of your life!Josh and his co-host, Dave Schmidt, are looking at “the hierarchy of dreams, strategies and tools” we can leverage to create a sustainable retirement. Think of it this way: When done right, retirement really does = freedom! It's a permission slip to stop worrying, start spending and keep on enjoying a wisely invested portfolio that will keep paying dividends to keep you worry-free year after year!Disclaimer: There are lots of great strategies out there, but please be warned that s'more chocolate chip cookie sundaes are neither correlated with nor a recommended predictor of health and longevity.

Wait for it! Who knew that anticipating one person's “Byeee!” could create such compelling podcast drama? We don't want to undersell the exciting insights Host Josh Bretl is sharing about the Secure Act of 2019 on this episode of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast. But its special guest Erin Fogarty, an advisor at FSR Wealth, who generates the emotional high points! (You just have to listen really, really closely …)In the meantime, if you're stashing earned income in an IRA-type retirement account, you'll want to know all about the implications of a new and evolving law whose reassuring acronym – SECURE – stands for “Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act.”Without proactive financial planning, you may miss the boat on timing distributions and wind up paying taxes you want to avoid! You'll learn about how The Secure Act of 2019 came to be (and why there's already a 2.0 version under consideration) as well as some of specific changes that may impact how non-spouses who inherit retirement accounts will need to sequence distributions.Co-host Dave Schmidt brings it all together with a vivid illustration of what could happen to retirees or soon-to-be-retirees who don't get help decoding all the fine print! (Please note: No bunnies were harmed in the making of this podcast.)You won't want to miss this opportunity to jot down notes and questions for your retirement planner about this policy that's still a work in progress!This episode was fueled by Cometeer Coffee, both iced and hot!Numbers are growing like crazy, so get onboard by signing up for the show's new weekly email at this link and then come on over and join the conversation at our new private Facebook group, which you can find here (#MoreErin!).Click here to learn more about or listen to previous episodes of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast.

Don't fast forward! No matter what you've heard (from extended family who shall remain nameless), we promise it only gets better! This week's episode of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast features Host Josh Bretl, founder of FSR Wealth, taking a deep dive into the sexy world of … bonds. Co-host Dave Schmidt is along for the ride, with some questionable “Bonds, James Bonds” riffs.You'll learn what bonds are, why they are typically an important component of balanced investment portfolios, how certain economic anomalies have shaped their returns over recent decades and whether now is the time to consider buying, selling or looking for alternatives.It's everything you've always wanted to know about the nuts and bolts of bonds, but were afraid to ask! Who knew the concept of an “inverse relationship” could be so exciting? Almost as riveting as looking at the sales tax total after a day of back-to-school shopping (#TaxNerd)?Enjoy this chat about a subject that would undoubtedly be a yawn in the hands of anyone less skilled and entertaining!

What happens to your money after you die? This episode of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast goes right to the heart of this sensitive question – one that lots of us squeamishly avoid.Co-hosts Josh Bretl of FSR Wealth Strategies and Dave Schmidt (aka Vulcan Schmidt Todd Lopez) move us out of denial into a clearer understanding of what estate planning looks like and how assets are classified among partners and beneficiaries.You'll also learn why trusts and wills are so important to ensuring the things we've worked hard for in our lifetimes will transfer smoothly (and as inexpensively as possible) to exactly those loved ones we wish to designate as heirs.The topic doesn't have to be ghoulish or sad and the alternative (burying our heads in the sand) can mean family arguments or an unintended windfall for Uncle Sam – something no one wants!This info-packed episode will put you on the path to peace of mind and not a moment too soon. “Because wherever you go (when you die),” says Josh, “Your money's not going with you!”This episode was fueled by Cometeer Coffee, both iced and hot!Don't forget to sign up for the show's new weekly email at this link and definitely come join the conversation at our new private Facebook group, which you can find here.If you'd like to learn more about or listen to previous episodes of The Retirement Equals Freedom Podcast, you'll find them here.Click here to explore the services that FSR Wealth Strategies offers and schedule a discovery call with one of the team's CPAs.

Back by popular demand (probably), Host Josh Bretl is diving into the finer points of savings conversions in a follow-up to Part I of a very special Retirement = Freedom Podcast arc devoted to all things Roth IRA. If you missed the first installment, you might want to review the basics by listening to Episode 011, which you'll find here.This episode is devoted to the timing of moving your savings from pre-tax traditional IRAs and 401k retirement plans into a Roth IRA whose growth going forward will be tax-free. The ouch, of course, is that the nest egg on which those future free distributions rest has to be taxed in the here and now. So it can be tricky! Josh explains some of the factors that must be analyzed when developing a smart conversion strategy. And a critical word of advice: Do your due diligence because once you click “convert,” there's no going back. It's important to be sure you've got a firm grasp of your current and future earnings and tax scenarios!Feeling a little unclear about the finer points of Roth IRA conversions versus sticking with your traditional IRA? Josh and his intrepid (which isn't to say marathon-ready) cohost Dave Schmidt frame the decision in terms of weight loss and the pay-it-now or pay-it-later reality of managing good health. It's a two-for-one. Great financial planning education plus inspiration for that physical fitness regime you've been putting off. So put down that Puddin' Cake and join the fun!Are you in the FSR Wealth Strategies family and curious to learn more about Roth IRAs?

You've heard it before: Timing is everything. On this episode of The Retirement = Freedom Podcast we're learning about the ins and outs of the Roth IRA and why it's such a fantastic savings tool, so long as it's executed correctly. Host Josh Bretl gets into the finer points of tax-deferred versus tax-free distributions, what conditions must be met to make Roth contributions and the peace of mind that can come from leveraging the option. It's one of the few vehicles that we can count on to maximize savings while minimizing future tax burden.Like all things financial planning, the timing of when to contribute is highly individualized and has to be part of a broader strategic approach. With help from his fearless sidekick, Dave Schmidt, Josh teases out some of the specific benefits Roth IRAs confer, even after death, and also how they work as a potential investment opportunity in down markets like the one we're in today.Finally, you'll learn why the Roth IRA offers a tremendous hedge against future taxes and why income earners who plan now can enjoy peace of mind (and generous post-tax distributions) later on in retirement.

And once again we're rolling … LIVE from the new FSR Wealth Strategies studio, this episode of The Retirement = Freedom Podcast takes on a financial bogeyman that impacts absolutely everyone. We're talking: Inflation. And, sorry folks, but it's here to stay. Host Josh Bretl breaks down what it means in user-friendly economic terms while co-host Dave Schmidt ponders what it means in terms of bacon. (Tune in to find out why it all make sense.)Unless you've been completely off the grid, you've winced at the steep hikes in price for gas, food and just about everything else. And you no doubt have asked: Why? What has caused this phenomenon that until now many of us have never experienced? Well, Josh clues us in by sharing both the definition of inflation and its actual causes in a way that everyone (even artsy friends like Dave) can understand.You'll also learn some tricks for hedging against the steady decline in your dollar's spending power – defensive maneuvers that any financial plan must include. If you're retired or plan to be soon, count on inflation as a factor in your budget and find out what you can do to ensure that the money you want to spend is there for you – and worth as much next year as it is today!If you enjoyed this info-packed, fun-filled show, please share this link with anyone who might benefit from learning all about financial planning (or pop culture and cars from the 1990s)!Ready to fuel up on some Cometeer Coffee?

Live! From their new podcast studio, it's a big day for co-hosts Josh Bretl and Dave Schmidt of The Retirement = Freedom Podcast. They're even pretty sure that at least one of their mothers will be tuning in for sage advice delivered with inimitable (truly) wit and charm!This episode offers important follow-up on the topic of greed – not what it is, but how to avoid falling prey to it! The first step is defining your appetite for risk. And not in those frequently used, way-too-general terms: Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive. Josh details a more precise way to measure comfort levels relative to where we are in our retirement journey – as well as how it all correlates (or doesn't!) with market exposure.You'll also learn about how a bull market like the one we've seen over the past decade can hit the skids, leaving portfolios out of whack and vulnerable to huge losses with long-lasting consequences. Says Josh: “Risk is actually a fun topic once you understand it – and it gives you a lot of power and control!” Definitely, when it comes to financial planning. But as far as how risk relates to selecting from the menu at a sushi restaurant? That's another kettle of fish (ba-dum-bum!). Exactly what does that mean?

You'd think retiring with a big pile of money is pretty much the Golden Ticket to non-stop good times, but – spoiler alert – it turns out that spending strategically is also a thing. If we don't? More and more people are living longer and, well, no one wants to outlive their bank balance. The goal here is to enjoy our bucket lists, maintain a healthy emergency fund and ultimately still have some inheritance left for relatives who were nice to us. It's a complicated equation, which is why The Retirement = Freedom Podcast is here to help get it sorted out. Josh Bretl, CPA and founder of FSR Wealth Strategies, is focused this episode on the tricky business of investment management. In retirement the whole calculus in terms of time and risk has to change and too often financial planners don't know how to adapt or serve their clients well in this next phase.We learn that free meals can be a great marketing tool, not only for drawing prospective clients but also – to Josh's surprise – for educating people like trusty sidekick Dave Schmidt, who goes 2-for-2 on a little pop quiz. His arts degree didn't exactly prepare him for crunching numbers, but we're seeing an encouraging learning curve here (despite the disruptive slurping – with apologies to Dave's mom). Josh keeps us on track with informative highlights from a recent FSR Wealth Strategies lunch presentation and a recap of what we've been learning about the jigsaw puzzle that is retirement planning.Join Josh and Dave next week, when the focus shifts from income sources and investment management to the super-important topic of tax planning. Sound a little dry and confusing? You clearly haven't experienced Josh's “not boring” take on this topic. Dave promises: It'll be a hoot. Let's hold him to it ...

Have you heard of the post-World War II financial planning strategy known as the “Three-Legged Stool?" Well, on this episode of The Retirement = Freedom Podcast we're here to introduce you to the latest and greatest 21st century alternative! Host Josh Bretl, a CPA and founder of FSR Wealth Strategies, is explaining his “Pockets on Your Pants” model for spending in retirement. Income is the No. 1 concern he sees among clients contemplating their long-term financial prospects – and from the sound of it securing a revenue stream is also on sidekick Dave Schmidt's mind! The two discuss what “The Great Resignation” means in terms of future financial security, how the “retire at age 65” standard came into being (pretty random, actually) and why younger generations are ordering some of their priorities differently (embracing side hustles and skepticism about the corporate paycheck way of life). All that said, whatever your approach, everyone benefits from having an actual framework written down, along with realistic milestones and contingency plans for those unexpected rainy days. And speaking of those rainy days? Nothing could be more comforting than Market Day Chocolate Chocolate Puddin' Cake. We know that makes no sense, but listen in and thank us later! The show wraps with just a little brainstorming. For future planning, here's a possibility: The Retirement = Freedom Podcast co-hosts record while enjoying a “Happy Hour” featuring a tasting of Mike Rowe's fantastic Knobel Spirits handcrafted whiskey.

Joining us this week is German multi instrumentalist Dave Schmidt. He is a pillar in the modern psychedelic music scene: his projects Electric Moon, Zone Six, Krautzone, Intercosmos as well as his solo work - released under the name Sula Bassana - are essential listening for anyone looking to open their mind and reach the outer galaxies. His label Sulatron Records sits at the convergence of neo-psychedelic, krautrock, ambient electronic and progressive rock - in a normal year releasing a prolific amount of records for a one person operation. We discuss improvisation in heavy music, Dave's experience growing up in Berlin in the 1980s, playing in non-traditional venues such as the planetarium in Bochum where I first saw Electric Moon, his collaboration with Portuguese kosmische explorer Talea Jacta for Roadburn Redux, and what he's been up to with his numerous musical projects during the last year and a half. You'll find links to Dave's projects and label in the episode notes (below), as well as a killer video of Electric Moon performing at Freak Valley Festival in 2019.

Description - In this special episode of the Worldcraft Club we interview Dave Schmidt, about his work on Recovery, his online webcomic. Dave's approach to worldbuilding is fairly easy going as he builds a post apocalyptic western with heavy influences from 90's era anthropomorphic cartoons (TMNT, Gargoyles, Tailspin and Street Sharks) where the rule of cool reigns. We find though, as we dive in deeper, that Dave's world has solid boundaries and expectations being set for his readers and that worldbuilding can sometimes be nonspecific and based on themes and tropes that are well understood by your readers. We hope you enjoy this fantastic interview and don't forget to check Dave's work out by following the links below.

In this BONUS episode of Food Safety Matters, representatives from Neogen and AOAC INTERNATIONAL discuss the benefits of having testing methods and kits independently approved and certified. You will learn all about the beginnings of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, how the organization has evolved, and what it means for a company within the food industry to be an affiliate member.  To help us better understand why AOAC INTERNATIONAL membership is a plus, our editorial director, Barbara Van Renterghem, spoke with two experts from both sides of the fence.  Dave Schmidt is AOAC INTERNATIONAL's new executive director as of May 1, 2018. Prior to joining AOAC, he was principal consultant for Schmidt Commonwealth Strategies, LLC. From 2006 to 2015, he served as president CEO of the International Food Information Council (IFIC) and CEO of the IFIC Foundation in Washington, D.C. He joined IFIC in 1993 and held positions from director to executive vice president prior to being elected CEO. Dave also served as the first Bush Administration's director of external affairs for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service where he addressed food safety and nutrition issues and managed the inspection agency’s media, legislative, and consumer education programs. He also gained a thorough understanding of the food industry in previous sales positions with Oscar Mayer Foods, Pepsi-Cola USA, and Canada Dry Corp. He holds a B.A. in business administration from Vanderbilt University, and completed graduate business studies at the University of New Orleans. He has also served the Town of Leesburg, VA, as a town council member. Dr. Robert Donofrio is the director of food safety research and development for Neogen. He joined Neogen in February of 2016, responsible for the strategic vision, resource management, and coordination of product development activities for the following laboratory groups: Immunodiagnostics, Biochemistry, Neogen Culture Media, Molecular biology, Pathogen Detection and General Microbiology. Dr. Donofrio also oversees the Neogen Validation laboratory which is responsible for performing internal product validation and coordinating third-party product certification and approval through groups such as AOAC, AFNOR, Health Canada, and MicroVal. Dr. Donofrio is also responsible for establishing key collaborations with university and private research centers as well as evaluating novel technologies for potential integration into Neogen’s product portfolio. Prior to Neogen, Dr. Donofrio spent 16 years at NSF International, a public health and safety company.  During his tenure at NSF, Dr. Donofrio served as the director of the microbiology lab for over a decade, and then as director of the Applied Research Center for his final 3 years. He was awarded the NSF Star Employee Award in March of 2001 (was nominated for the same award in 2008), and guided his laboratory to the 2006 NSF Team of the Year Award. Dr. Donofrio obtained his B.S. in biology from the University of Dayton in 1994 and his M.S. in environmental microbiology from Duquesne University in 1996, where he was named Graduate Student of the Year.  Dr. Donofrio obtained his doctoral degree in microbiology from Michigan Technological University in May 2009.   Dr. Donofrio has authored dozens of publications for peer-reviewed journals, trade journals, and training materials. He is a full member of the International Association for Food Protection, Society of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB), AOAC, American Society for Microbiology, Institute of Food Technology, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.  He has served on the Board of Directors at SIMB for two terms.  In this episode, we speak to Neogen and AOAC INTERNATIONAL about: AOAC's history, mission, and funding Future growth opportunities in microbiological testing, dietary supplements, and cannabis Benefits of being an affiliate member Method validations offered by AOAC, and options for proprietary methods AOAC's laboratory proficiency testing program Performance tested methods program vs. official methods of analysis program The importance of AOAC approval to an affiliate member The process of getting a testing method or kit approved by AOAC Deciding which products will and will not go through the AOAC approval process Global harmonization efforts Education and training efforts, particularly for the new generation of scientists What it's like to partner with AOAC Resources AOAC Performance Tested Methods (PTM) Program AOAC Official Methods of Analysis (OMA) Program AOAC INTERNATIONAL  ANSR® Listeria Right Now™  Neogen Food Safety

Cowboy Surf Shop has been a leading force in Northern California since the early 70’s. Founded by Craig”Cowboy”Mac Arthur as Miramar Surf Boards in 1971 in it’s original location, the shop was mainly a showroom for the surfboards that Craig shaped and glassed, as well as serving as Half Moon Bay’s first surf shop. Many years have been spent learning and perfecting the trade of surfboard production, as well as other ventures including the opening of the retail store Cowboy Surf Shop in 1982. Craig also teamed with friend Chip Rowland, and Bob Hurley in 1984 to work as Northern California Sales Rep for the then start up surf line Billabong. His duties consisted of building the Northwestern territory for Billabong, and managing the Northern California Billabong Surf Team. Craig recruited local talent from his territory which consisted of surfers like Daryl “Flea” Virotsgo, brother Troy, Nate & Zach Acker, Richard & Dave Schmidt, Vince Collier, Adam Repogle, and many more. Other duties stemmed from teaming up with Billabong’s pro surfers like “Sunny Garcia”  and “Doogle Walker”when surfing in local contests like the O’Neill Coldwater Classic, or going on photo shoots to distant locations for surfing magazines with other pro surfers. Craig’s sales reputation soon earned him jobs with other prominent companies like Rusty Presendorfer who was just getting his clothing line going, and soon hired Craig as his Northern California Sales Rep. Utilizing Craigs relationship with stores & shops, Rusty was a shoe-in with his line of  T ‘Shirts and Stickers, and was soon on his way to liable recognition in Northern California . Craig was also hired as Sales Rep for Billabongs sister like company Peak Wetsuits, headed out by John “The Butcher” Howitt, the Aussie wetsuit entrepreneur who later went on to start Quiksilver Wetsuits. It was about four and a half years into his sale repping career when Craig was recruited by the local Surf / Rock Band Bug. Led by Singer Web Fingers, and Bassist Bubba Luv, Craig was the newest member playing Lead Guitar. (Stage Name “Dude Broman”). See Bug click on image below After several years of hard work, recording, rehearsing, playing gigs, and Frat Parties, Bug had worked it’s way up the local circuit to the point of being a major player on the Bay Area music scene. Bug had found a home at the Cactus Club in San Jose where their hard core followers packed the venue night after night, headlining, and also playing support for acts like Primus. Mary’s Danish, The Vandals, Urban Dance Squad, and Mojo Nixon, (just to name a few). Bug also won the the” Bay Area Battle of the Bands” contest, and played to thousands of people at the Oakland Collesieum, as well as plying every major venue in the San Francisco Bay Area. Bug was well on their way to stardom, local rock magazines were revue them almost weekly, and one went as far as saying that “Bug was going to be the next bay area rock band after Primus to go over the top”. The press did not go unnoticed, and local recording studio mogul Joel Jaffe from  Studio D in Sausalito had picked up on the buzz, and invited the band to come down to the lavish studio to record a 3 song demo that he would shop to some of his record label connections. Things were going great with repping, and playing in the band. Craig started to date one of the Bug dancers, Lucy Turner, who soon became a cult fav as Hippi Bitch, a character in one of the bands popular songs.
