Jesse goes solo for a deep dive into the vital yet often overlooked world of special needs financial planning. He opens with a personal story about his daughter's illness—an experience that deepened his empathy for parents whose caregiving journeys never pause—and uses it to frame the emotional and financial realities families face when raising a child with disabilities. From there, he explores how special needs planning extends beyond traditional wealth management, requiring families to think in decades, not years, while balancing their own retirement goals with lifelong care needs. Jesse breaks down key tools such as special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, and government programs like SSI and Medicaid, explaining how they work together to preserve benefits and provide sustainable support. He also examines the potential role of permanent life insurance as a funding mechanism for long-term care, the legal importance of guardianship and trusteeship, and the wisdom of separating caregiving and financial responsibilities to prevent burnout. Throughout, Jesse underscores the need for community resources, professional guidance, and self-care—reminding listeners that special needs planning isn't just about money, but about love, security, and building a future where every member of the family can thrive. Key Takeaways:• Raising a child with special needs requires planning for both the parents' and the child's lifetimes—often extending decades beyond traditional financial horizons. • Special needs families face higher ongoing costs, from medical treatments and therapies to adaptive equipment and in-home care. • Core financial fundamentals—emergency savings, retirement planning, tax strategy, and estate planning—remain essential but must be adapted for special needs circumstances. • Nonprofits, community organizations, and local programs can offer both financial aid and emotional support for families. • Professional guidance from fiduciary planners and special needs attorneys can help families integrate benefits, trusts, and insurance effectively. • Above all, special needs planning is about more than money—it's about love, security, and ensuring a dignified, supported life for every family member.

Jesse fields six wide-ranging listener questions that dig into the heart of financial planning and investing. He opens with a challenge to the idea that age alone dictates portfolio strategy, emphasizing instead that time horizons, goals, and diversification determine the right balance between growth and preservation. From there, Jesse advises a listener who recently inherited $1 million on how to integrate the windfall into an early retirement plan through detailed cash flow projections, withdrawal strategies, and careful consideration of pensions and Social Security. Next, he unpacks the difference between risk tolerance and risk capacity—framing them as willingness versus ability to take risk—and illustrates how these concepts vary depending on age, assets, and future income. A question about bonds leads to a deep dive on duration, interest rate sensitivity, and why bond funds and individual bonds behave more alike than many investors assume, with practical guidance on structuring fixed income for retirement needs. Shifting to income growth, Jesse shares seven strategies for boosting earnings over time, from negotiating raises and pursuing certifications to building businesses, climbing the career ladder, and gaining equity participation. Finally, he closes with a clear primer on Bitcoin, explaining blockchain, mining, and the role of trust in money, while stressing that investors don't need cryptocurrency in their portfolios—but should at least understand what it is and why it matters. Key Takeaways: • Investment strategy should be based on goals and timelines, not just age. • A $1 million inheritance should be planned with the same rigor as any other asset, while respecting any personal or emotional ties. • Risk tolerance reflects your willingness to endure volatility, while risk capacity measures your financial ability to recover from losses. • Bond funds and individual bonds are functionally similar, especially when held to maturity. • Negotiating with employers or job hopping can be effective short-term paths to higher pay. Building side businesses or securing equity participation can create outsized wealth growth over time. • Investors don't need crypto in their portfolios, but understanding how it works helps in today's financial landscape.

Today, Jesse is joined by Spencer Reese—Air Force veteran, financial educator, and creator of the Military Money Manual—for a conversation about the surprising overlap between military transitions and civilian retirement. Together, they explore why the only constant in retirement is change, how life evolves through “go-go, slow-go, and no-go” phases, and Jesse's framework for a “Retiree's Financial Decathlon,” covering everything from building a sustainable paycheck to tax efficiency, healthcare, estate planning, and even learning to spend with intention. Spencer shares lessons from his own service and separation, highlighting the financial quirks of military life—like government-covered housing, allowances that incentivize marriage, and the all-too-common trap of buying too much car—as well as the importance of communication and systems for long-term success. Beyond the dollars, they discuss the identity shifts that come with leaving the military or workforce, the challenge of replacing purpose and community, and how preparation and adaptability ease the transition. Throughout, Jesse and Spencer remind listeners that whether you're a veteran or a civilian, financial independence is as much about mindset and meaning as it is about math. Key Takeaways: • Retirement is not a fixed point in time but an evolving, decades-long transition. • Purpose, meaning, and social connection are as critical as financial stability in retirement. • Jesse's “Retiree's Financial Decathlon” framework highlights ten essential planning areas, including building a paycheck, taxes, healthcare, estate planning, and spending. • Many military families struggle not from lack of will, but from lack of financial skills and role models. • Transitioning out of the military often brings a loss of identity, community, and structure, similar to civilian retirement. • Preparing early—whether through classes like TAP for veterans or retirement workshops for civilians—eases major life transitions.

In this episode, Jenni Alvey, CFO of IU Health, shares insights on navigating workforce challenges, advancing care affordability, and preparing for major system initiatives including a new downtown hospital and Epic implementation. She also reflects on leadership lessons that shape her approach to healthcare finance today.

Today, Jesse is joined by Hanna Horvath—Certified Financial Planner, managing editor at Bankrate, and author of the Your Brain on Money newsletter—for a deep dive into the psychology behind our financial decisions and why money is never just about numbers. Together, they explore how unconscious “money scripts” formed in childhood shape lifelong habits, why emotional discipline matters more than willpower, and how anxiety shows up even for people who have “won the game” financially. Hanna explains how retirement brings not just financial questions but also an identity shift, making purpose and values as important as portfolio allocation. They discuss strategies for reframing our relationship with volatility, using fire-drill style planning to prepare for downturns, and creating small gaps between emotions and actions to avoid costly mistakes. Throughout, Jesse and Hanna remind listeners that building lasting wealth is less about chasing fads or quick wins and more about cultivating awareness, resilience, and intentionality in both mindset and money. Key Takeaways: • Money is never just about math—it's deeply tied to psychology, emotions, and unconscious beliefs. • Emotional discipline means creating space between feelings and actions, not trying to eliminate emotions altogether. • Retirement isn't just a financial transition—it's a major identity shift that can create anxiety even for those who are financially prepared. • “Fire drills” for your financial plan can prepare you emotionally and practically for downturns before they happen. • Social media and sensational financial headlines amplify fear, making discernment and discipline even more critical. • Retirement satisfaction depends on aligning money decisions with personal values, whether that means family, travel, community, or freedom.
