In this video, we walk through how traditional TSP balances, FERS pension income, Social Security, RMDs, and Medicare IRMAA can all stack together later in retirement.Many federal employees assume they will automatically be in a lower tax bracket after they retire. But for FERS retirees with a pension, Social Security, and a large traditional TSP balance, that assumption may create planning gaps that do not show up until years later.Whether you are trying to reduce future required minimum distributions, create more tax flexibility, or avoid common mistakes around Roth conversions, this episode shows why the timing of your TSP tax strategy matters.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Why Roth TSP conversions may matter before federal retirementHow a traditional TSP balance can create future RMD pressureWhy FERS pension income and Social Security can affect your tax bracketHow larger RMDs may increase Medicare IRMAA riskWhy “I'll be in a lower tax bracket later” may not always apply to federal employeesHow a $50,000 per year Roth conversion example may change long-term tax outcomesWhy having outside money to pay the tax bill is important before convertingHow Roth planning can give retirees more control over future income━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━FEDERAL RETIREMENT RESOURCES━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TSP Roth In-Plan Conversions:https://www.tsp.gov/investing-strategies/roth-in-plan-conversions/IRS Required Minimum Distributions:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-required-minimum-distributions-rmdsSSA IRMAA Sliding Scale Tables:https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0601101020OPM Retirement Center:https://www.opm.gov/retirement-center/━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━TIMESTAMPS━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━0:00 The $80,000 TSP Roth Mistake Federal Employees Should Understand0:24 Roth Conversions With a Pension While Still Working0:53 The “Lower Tax Bracket in Retirement” Assumption1:30 Linda and Susie: Same Federal Retirement, Different TSP Strategy2:19 Traditional TSP vs. Roth Conversion Planning3:12 How RMDs Can Push Taxes and Medicare Costs Higher3:54 Why Roth TSP Money Can Create More Retirement Flexibility4:32 The Tax Delta: How One Decision May Create an $80,000 Difference5:14 Why Today's Tax Brackets Matter for Federal Retirement Planning5:42 When Roth Conversions May Not Make SenseAdvisory services are offered through CD Financial LLC dba CD Financial, an Investment Advisor in the State of California.

At some point, you look at your workload and think: “I just need help.” Here's the truth most people won't tell you: Hiring employees doesn't automatically give you more freedom or more profit. In fact, if you don't fully understand the business model you're stepping into, it can do the exact opposite.No one business model is right for everyone and every business model has its benefits and drawbacks. I've seen way too many small business owners dip their toes into a bunch of different business models without really thinking through what it entails or why they're doing it. Over the years, I've run my business following three different business models. So this month, I'm going to break those models down and get really candid about the pros and cons, to help you make an informed choice about a model that fits your business and your goals. In this episode, I discuss the employee model.Tune into this episode to hear:Why feeling like you need help isn't the same as being ready for employeesThe systems, processes (and more) that you need before you bring on employeesHow employees change the kinds of projects you can take on and how scalable your business can beThe top three challenges owners face with the employee model Resources:Grab the first chapter of my new book Scale Solo: scalesolobook.comGrab a copy of my book: Badass Your Brand - https://www.badassyourbrand.com/Program: No BS Mastery: https://nobsmastery.com/programProgram: No BS Agency Mastery: https://join.nobsmastery.com/agency-masteryNo BS Clients Lab: https://nobsclientslab.com/The Price to Freedom Calculator™ - http://nobsmastery.com/price

There are many forms of compensation that matter to employees. Salary, benefits, and bonuses often get the most attention, but they are not the only things that drive loyalty and engagement. In this episode, Libby Greiwe shares a powerful but often overlooked “currency” that financial advisors can offer their teams without increasing payroll costs. Drawing from her own experience running a successful advisory firm, she explains how intentional flexibility can strengthen employee loyalty, improve morale, and ultimately create a stronger business.Why flexibility is one of the most powerful and underrated forms of compensation for employeesHow “structured flexibility” allows advisors to offer freedom while maintaining accountabilityPractical examples of how flexible scheduling can support working parents and busy professionalsWhy building a thoughtful employee experience leads to stronger loyalty and long-term team retentionWhen advisors focus on building an employee experience that supports both professional success and personal life, the results can be remarkable.

In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx and Brooke Dumas explore the critical role of exit strategy, succession planning, and incentive structures in maximizing business valuation and founder wealth.Far too many founders begin thinking about exit planning only when they are exhausted, disengaged, or already in conversations with a broker—resulting in hurried negotiations, lowered valuations, and limited personal financial outcomes.Jessica and Brooke outline a proactive approach designed to help founders prepare three to five years ahead of exit, strengthen operational infrastructure, and ensure the business can transfer value beyond the founder.They discuss:Why 99% of founders don't have an exit plan—and the risks that createsThe three primary outcomes for every business: shutdown, acquisition, or successionWhy broker valuations often overestimate value and how due diligence reshapes the numberHow operational, financial, and legal gaps erode business value during negotiationsThe link between founder dependency, scalability, and marketabilityHow small operational shifts can lead to significant increases in profitability and valuationWhy many acquisitions leave founders with minimal financial gainStructuring leadership roles—especially COO and CFO—to manage a future due diligence processWho should be part of exit planning—and why this information should not be disclosed to most employeesHow to maintain strategic momentum during an exit process to preserve leverageJessica emphasizes the importance of preparing for exit long before a transition is imminent. By doing so, founders gain optionality, negotiation strength, and the ability to exit on their preferred terms.If you are committed to building a business that creates wealth, impact, and long-term opportunity—this episode provides a strategic roadmap for preparing your company for a successful transfer of ownership.Mini-timeline00:00–00:52 — Why the Business Performance Audit was developed00:53–02:42 — Lack of exit plans among founders and associated risks02:43–04:23 — The three potential endpoints of a business04:24–05:24 — Why initial valuations are often inflated05:25–08:01 — The due diligence process and common pitfalls08:02–09:52 — Common outcomes of small business acquisitions09:53–11:25 — Defining peak performance and identifying profitability leaks11:26–12:51 — Legal and IP gaps that undermine valuation

In this episode, Lesley Sears talks about the implications of research showing that newly promoted employees are more likely to leave your organization—and what you can do to mitigate their flight risk.“When we promote somebody, we're assuming we're building loyalty,” says Sears, CUES' VP/consulting. “We're … really feeding into and developing this person. But statistics have shown us that that's not always the case.“ADP has come out with a research study that shows 29% of the people that were newly promoted left, transitioned out versus 18% that normally would have.”Spoiler alert: Sears says successfully fixing the problem comes down to strengthening your organizational climate.“The culture … is really … the byproduct of how everything in the credit union is working,” she explains. Whatever the challenges are at the credit union will show up in the climate and culture. “So, address the culture,” she asserts, “and thereby you can address a lot of your challenges in the credit union itself.”In the show Sears also discusses:Specific elements of climate/culture that might be leveraged to mitigate the flight risk of newly promoted employeesHow the nine elements of culture are highly intertwinedWhy it's important for credit unions to have the kind of climate/culture that makes newly promoted—and other—employees want to stayWhat results a credit union can get from doing a climate assessmentHow a credit union's climate ultimately impacts its membersHow CUES Consulting's Burn Bright offering can help develop resilent leaders at a credit unionLinks for this show:TranscriptCUES ConsultingPurposeful Talent Development blogs by Sears:A Culture of Learning Builds Resilience5 (of 9) Dimensions of Organizational ClimateFour More Dimensions of Organizational ClimatePodcast: The Nine Dimensions of Climate

After knowing that 35% of medical costs in the United States come from diet-related illnesses, Bitewell's unique food and health marketplace enables employers to deliver health benefits through their existing food budget.Prior to co-founding Bitewell, Sam's career spanned marketing, strategy and operations. His notable roles include Director of Global Brand Strategy and Chief of Staff to Jane Lauder at Clinique (NYC), Director of NA Marketing at Smashbox (LA), and Director of Research Analytics at Bridgewater Associates (CT).Sam earned a BFA in Drama from NYU. She credits much of her success to her leadership style – which fuses active empathy (honed during her acting studies) with radical transparency (adopted from her time at Bridgewater).Sam's interest in the impact of food on health goes back decades. Born into an Italian-American family in New Jersey, the kitchen table was the heart and soul of her childhood. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Sam, his sister, and cousins ​​developed food allergies and intolerances that limited the food they could enjoy. Instead of having a reductionist mindset about food, their grandmother revamped generations-old recipes to meet the (many) dietary needs of their family.With the same care her grandmother applied to helping her family navigate the complicated maze of food ailments, Sam is determined to help the world achieve better health through food.About BitewellBitewell is the first all-in-one nutrition planning and food delivery tool designed by their team of food and nutrition experts.
