Most financial planning is built around goals.  Goals like:  Retiring at 60  Spending more time traveling  Leaving a legacy through philanthropy   But there's a structural flaw in that model: human beings are notoriously poor predictors of their future preferences. What we think will make us happy at 60 often looks very different once we get there.  Yet as Advisors, we routinely ask clients to define long-term goals without fully pressure-testing the assumptions behind them.   In this episode, Meghaan Lurtz explains how we can shift away from the shortcomings of goals-based planning by focusing on the power of experiments.  Instead of asking our clients to commit to big, static goals, we can help them design small, intentional experiments.  Help them test the retirement, test the travel, and test the hobbies they “think” they'll enjoy one day.  Because a client who has tried something knows what they want. And an Advisor who helps them get there becomes indispensable.  If you want deeper conversations, more engaged retirees, and clients who actually use their money in ways that improve their lives, then this episode offers a practical framework you can implement immediately.  You'll Learn:  Why goals-based planning may be unintentionally limiting your clients' happiness  The simple 4-step experiment framework that unlocks confident spending and clearer decisions  How to help chronic under-spenders safely test higher spending without triggering fear  Why debriefing client experiences may be more powerful than the financial plan itself  Subscribe to the Wired Advisor newsletter packed with behavioral-backed resources to help you grow your business → Click Here    Links To Resources Mentioned:  “Helping Underspenders and Savers Understand They Can Spend More With 4 Stages Of Experiments”  Connect With Brendan:  RFG Advisory  LinkedIn: Brendan Frazier  About Our Guest:  Meghaan Lurtz, Ph.D., FBS™ is a globally recognized expert on the psychology of financial planning and the human dynamics of money.

In this week's show, the crew will break down that move, along with the outlook for what feels like the inevitable 24-team #CFP. It's the offseason, so drop ANY CFB topic you'd like to hear on the show! Play It! 

In this hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez offers thoughtful perspective on Bobby Hauck's departure to the University of Illinois after taking time to process the move.

The college football landscape never stops moving, shifting and changing. The latest change is yet another drastic move of conference realignment. Sacramento State is leaving the FCS to join the FBS as they will now become a part of the MAC. Yes, the team in California is joining the Mid-American Conference. Ross Dellenger explains why Sac State is making this move and what other avenues they pursued. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey join the conversation and react to this decision. The conversation evolves to the broader landscape of conference realignment. The guys discuss why so many of these drastic shifts are being made and what type of change to the college football landscape they see coming in the future.Then, the guys dive into a couple of notable eligibility court cases. Trinidad Chambliss will be a Rebel for one more season after a judge in the Mississippi state court granted an injunction to give Chambliss one more season of eligibility. The guys compare the Chambliss situation to other court cases of the past and they contrast it with the Joey Aguilar case in Tennessee. At the time of this recording, we have yet to get a ruling on Aguilar. Plus, the crew shares some of the very unique events that happened at the courthouse during the Chambliss ruling.Later, Andy, Ross and Godfrey revisit a topic from the previous episode. Recently, a fan of Mr. Beast proposed the idea of Mr. Beast donating $100 million to East Carolina University to try to win them a National Championship. Andy was convinced that wouldn't do much, but Godfrey said he does not feel the same way. The crew discusses the feasibility of this, how small schools could make a big jump with a large cash infusion and what additional power ECU would have by having Mr. Beast behind them.All of this and more on today's College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Sac State to the MAC14:31 - Where does conference realignment go from here?24:44 - Trinidad Chambliss & Joey Aguilar eligibility cases42:32 - Would a $100 million from Mr. Beast get ECU to the CFP?

The coach is joined by reporters Tony Barnhart and Dennis Dodd to analyze a major 24-team playoff proposal from Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti. Described as a "24-team compromise," the plan suggests expanding to 16 teams by 2026 or 2027, eventually reaching 24 teams shortly thereafter. The proposal is designed to address many of the SEC’s long-standing concerns, such as the elimination of automatic qualifiers and the potential removal of conference championship games, which the memo refers to as "artificial". The reporters highlight that under this format, the top 23 ranked teams plus one Group of Five representative would make the field, significantly increasing access for all conferences while potentially generating enough revenue to offset the loss of traditional title games. The discussion also explores the logistical advantages and broader implications of the 24-team model. A key feature of the proposal is that the top eight seeds would receive a bye and be guaranteed a home game, with the first two rounds played on campus sites. This addresses the medical concern of student-athletes playing too many games, as the maximum number of games a team would play remains 17, the same as the current 12-team model. Beyond the playoff, the group touches on "workarounds" in the NIL landscape, such as Texas Tech’s strategy of leveraging apparel deals and media partners to funnel money to athletes. They conclude by noting North Dakota State's move to the FBS and the ongoing struggle for the NCAA to secure a legislative "fix" from Congress for issues like athlete employment status.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The greatest program in FCS is moving to the Mountain West, effective this upcoming season. North Dakota State won 10 of the past 15 FCS national titles and decided to try something new. It's a huge move, giving FBS a new contender for the Group of 6 spot in the Playoff and reshaping the competitive pecking order in FCS. But we've still got many questions to talk through:* Why now? NDSU had batted around this idea for years* Does the money make sense? (NDSU probably wouldn't be doing it if it didn't, but the additional expenses will be millions per year)* Why the Mountain West and not the new Pac-12?* How good will the Bison be right away?* Is it ever right to be bored of success?* Is it time to update our priors on how hard it is for teams to successfully leap from FCS to FBS?* TRIVIA: Which seven states still don't have an FBS team?Also, we talk about the college elements of the Super Bowl and Bobby Hauck's very brief retirement from coaching.

There will be a new face in the FBS for the 2026 season as FCS powerhouse North Dakota State is making the leap. The 10-time FCS National Champions will be joining the Mountain West Conference. Andy Staples and Steven Godfrey discuss if they think this is the right move for the Bison. The guys chat about what exactly the team is giving up to make this move, what they have to gain, and if they think North Dakota State can be successful. Plus, they also discuss the latest in the Charles Bediako case. He is no longer eligible to play for Alabama after a judge denied his most recent injunction request. Andy and Godfrey discuss what this means going forward.Then, the guys take a quick look at the NFL in comparison to college football. Sam Darnold culminated his redemption story with a Super Bowl ring this season. Once the third pick in the NFL Draft for the New York Jets, Darnold struggled for much of his career. After being a back-up in San Francisco, he found success as a starter for the Minnesota Vikings and now is a Super Bowl champion with the Seattle Seahawks. Andy and Godfrey look at the college landscape and discuss if there are any transfer quarterbacks that may have a similar redemption story in 2026. Later, the guys continue to look at the transfer quarterbacks, but through a different lens. Last episode, Godfrey compared Fernando Mendoza to a certified, pre-owned Honda. This was meant as a compliment. Now, they look at the transfer quarterbacks for 2026 and compare seven QBs to used cars.
