Jeremy Keil explains the 5 steps you can take if you are planning to retire in 2026 or 2027. If you've been planning to retire in 2026 or 2027, it might feel like you still have plenty of time. But in reality, retirement has a way of showing up earlier than expected — and when it does, the people who feel the most confident are the ones who prepared well in advance. In this episode of Retire Today, I walk through five things you should do before you quit working if retirement is anywhere on your near-term horizon. These steps aren't about picking a perfect retirement date. They're about being ready — even if your plans change. Why You Should Prepare Earlier Than You Think Two important statistics shape this entire conversation. First, the stock market is historically up about 70% of the time in any given year. That also means it's down about 30% of the time. If you're retiring soon, there's a real chance that your account balances could be lower at retirement than they are today. Second, most Americans retire about three years earlier than they expect. Health changes, job shifts, burnout, or family needs often move retirement forward — whether planned or not. That's why I encourage people to prepare for retirement three years ahead of time, even if they believe they'll work longer. Planning early gives you flexibility. Waiting too long removes it. 1. Create a Written Retirement Plan The first and most important step is to put your plan in writing. Many people have a retirement date in mind, but when asked how everything will actually work, they don't have clear answers. A written plan forces clarity. This is where the 5-Step Retirement Plan comes in: What you'll SPEND What you'll MAKE What you'll KEEP after taxes How you'll INVEST What you'll LEAVE behind Writing this down helps turn vague ideas into an actionable roadmap — and exposes gaps before they become problems. 2. Build a Lifetime Income Plan Retirement isn't about having a big account balance — it's about knowing where your income will come from every month. Before you retire, you should know: How much income you need Where that income will come from Which accounts you'll use first How taxes affect each withdrawal At a minimum, you should map out the first 12 months of retirement income in detail. That includes Social Security, pensions, savings, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts — and the tax rules that apply to each one. Surprises here are costly. Planning removes them. 3. Make Your Retirement Plan Tax-Smart Many people assume their taxes will automatically go down in retirement. Sometimes that's true — but not always. Pensions, Social Security, required minimum distributions, and investment income can push retirees into higher tax brackets than expected. The key is understanding when you'll have flexibility and using it intentionally. Retirement often creates opportunities to: Shift income between tax years Take advantage of lower tax brackets Manage Roth conversions strategically Plan around healthcare subsidies Taxes don't disappear in retirement — they change. Planning ahead helps you adapt. 4. Plan Your Retirement Healthcare Healthcare is one of the biggest unknowns in retirement. Before you retire, you should know: What coverage you'll use immediately What it will cost How that coverage changes over time When Medicare becomes part of the picture Options may include employer coverage through a spouse, COBRA, retiree health plans, ACA plans, or Medicare — and each comes with different costs and rules. Healthcare planning isn't just about insurance. It's about understanding how medical costs interact with your tax plan and your income strategy. 5. Create a Retirement Investment Plan Retirement changes your investment timeline. You're no longer investing only for growth — you're investing for income and stability, too. That means separating your money into: Short-term funds for near-term spending Long-term investments for growth over decades Money you'll need soon shouldn't be exposed to short-term market swings. At the same time, money you won't need for many years still needs growth to keep up with inflation. The right investment plan balances both — and helps prevent panic decisions when markets get volatile. The Bottom Line If you're planning to retire in 2026 or 2027, now is the time to prepare. Not because something bad will happen — but because preparation gives you options. Retirement doesn't have to be so stressful. With a written plan, a clear income strategy, smart tax planning, healthcare clarity, and a thoughtful investment approach, you can step into retirement with confidence — whenever it arrives.

Ruben Gonzalez, four-time record-holding Olympian, bestselling author, and sought-after keynote speaker, returns to Monday Morning Radio for a wide-ranging, deeply practical conversation about perseverance, belief, and the wisdom of following proven leaders. Ruben's story is anything but conventional. He didn't begin competing at an elite level until his mid-20s, and has never used his lack of natural athleticism as an excuse for falling short. His career — on the luge track and beyond — has been built on desire, discipline, and a stubborn refusal to quit. Now in his 60s, he offers practical strategies for building courage through small daily choices, managing risk intelligently rather than avoiding it, and reframing success not as medals or riches, but as significance — the impact you have on others. As always, this episode draws out insights that go beyond inspiration, focusing on actionable steps every listener can take to compete at their highest level — in sports, business, and life. [More details on Cafe Olympia Coaching are available here.] Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

This episode explores why the way you end the year has a direct impact on how you perform, lead, and grow in the year ahead, especially if you are a high performing founder, executive, or consultant who wants sustainable success without burnout.For years, I used to close the year by moving straight into planning mode. I refined goals, adjusted priorities, and prepared the roadmap for the year ahead, but I rarely took the time to consciously finish the year I had just lived. Everything looked successful externally, yet internally the cycle still felt incomplete.In this episode, I share a leadership reflection practice I call The Finish Line. It is a year end integration process that helps you:• reflect on the past year with clarity and intention• release unfinished emotional and cognitive weight• prevent burnout from carrying into the next year• align your priorities before setting new goals• strengthen your leadership presence and resilience• transition into the new year feeling grounded and focusedWe explore the hidden cost of rushing from one year into the next, why many high performers skip the last mile of the year, and how intentional reflection supports wiser decision making, healthier pacing, and more sustainable growth.You will also hear the 3 step Finish Line process I use with my clients to complete the year consciously so that the next one begins with alignment, clarity, and renewed energy.If you are looking for a leadership approach that blends performance, meaning, emotional awareness, and reflective growth, this conversation will help you start the year stronger, without repeating patterns of over extension or pressure driven planning.

In this episode of Quite Frankly, Frankie Val dives into a wide-ranging and unfiltered discussion on collapsing narratives, global power shifts, and the accelerating push toward a controlled future. The show opens with announcements and community updates before moving into major geopolitical developments, including tightening speech laws abroad, cultural reeducation efforts, and the growing disconnect between government responses and reality on the ground. Frankie examines the fallout from mass migration policies in Europe and Australia, the manipulation of public fear, and the erosion of free expression under the guise of safety. The conversation deepens with an in-depth interview featuring Zach Voorhees, exploring the suspicious killing of an MIT fusion scientist, suppressed energy technologies, and the implications of limitless power in an AI-driven world. From nuclear fusion and the petrodollar to digital currency and technocratic control, this episode connects past events to present outcomes and looming futures. Frank closes by questioning who benefits from the chaos and why the old justifications no longer hold, signaling a system racing toward its endgame.
In this episode, Steph discusses the idea of "open loops" and the mantra "finish line" for this coming year. She reflects on how interruptions from the past year have provided lessons for her, but also lit a fire to be in creation mode, and find completion with a lot of things she has started. She emphasizes the importance of closing open loops in life, which can create mental and emotional stress. By setting intentions and taking action, she encourages you to finish projects and goals, creating momentum towards a clearer future vision. In the end, this is a call for all of us to finish the year strong while still find time to relax, be present, and connect with loved ones this season.
Deadlines have a way of forcing clarity, and the final weeks of the year might be the most valuable money window you get. We sit down with Billy Joiner, CFO at Centric, to map out a practical, no-fluff plan for locking in free money, avoiding costly penalties, and starting January on steady ground. From retirement matches to healthcare accounts and charitable strategies, we focus on the moves that deliver the highest return for the least effort.We walk through the top three actions you can take in under 30 minutes: make sure you capture your full 401k match, update beneficiaries across every account, and review HSA or FSA contributions before deadlines hit. Billy breaks down HSA versus FSA in plain English, including rollover rules, eligible expenses, and how to avoid use-it-or-lose-it surprises. We also dig into charitable giving timing, how a donor-advised fund can bunch deductions for tax impact, and when donating appreciated assets makes sense. If open enrollment feels like a maze, we guide you to compare total cost of care, revisit network changes, and consider disability coverage that protects your income.Retirees and their families will find a clear reminder on required minimum distributions—what's due by December 31, the first-year exception, and how to get reliable help fast. We close with everyday money habits that actually move the needle, from packing lunch to cutting drink costs when eating out, plus a call to bring the whole family into the budget conversation so kids learn how money works. Link your accounts in your banking app, track progress in real time, and nudge your contributions now rather than “someday.”Ready to take action?

If you're crawling to the finish line of 2025 and your brain is doing that end-of-year thing where it starts tallying everything you didn't do, this episode is your permission slip to exhale.We're shifting out of measuring success through productivity, and into something softer: self-compassion, acceptance, and noticing the small moments that added up, even if it didn't look “impressive” from the outside.Because if you're feeling fear, shame, comparison, loneliness, Christmas triggers, or that quiet “I let myself down this year” ache, you are so not alone.Gentle reflection questions (no pressure, no perfection):What did this year ask of me?What did I survive that I don't give myself credit for?Who did I become because of what I went through?Where did I keep going, even quietly, even imperfectly?Want coaching in 2026?If you want to be added to the waitlist, DM the word COACHING to @kathleen.mindsetcoach on Instagram, or email the word coaching to kathleenmindsetcoach@gmail.comSee you in 2026!

Today one of the most vulnerable, challenging, and meaningful videos I've ever made... A deep dive into how you can experience breakthroughs in your running and life. This episode is different than usual. It's a presentation I recorded while trying to run a Sub 3 hour marathon and let's just say, not everything always goes exactly according to plan. It's how we respond to these situations that matters most. This episode has many visual examples that are better experienced while watching the video, vs listening to it. It could probabably still work as a podcast too. After about 27 minutes something unexpected happens on this run. You can either listen to it, or fast forward 6 minutes to 33 minutes, for a detailed summary and conclusions.

The finish line is seductive and often the very thing that stalls progress. We take you inside a behavior-first approach that replaces outcome anxiety with clear, repeatable actions you can control today. Speaking from nearly two decades of coaching, we break down why revenue targets, weight goals, and follower counts are lagging indicators that reflect the past, and how leading indicators—your consistent behaviors—are the true drivers of future results. We map the mindset shift from chasing to creating, showing how to use vision as a compass while building daily momentum with quality reps. Expect practical examples across fitness, writing, and business: from scheduling a 45-minute strength session to publishing one deeply researched article a week to delivering two sharp sales presentations. You'll learn the 2-step method—realistic assessment and internal release—that translates big aspirations into scheduled, trackable behaviors, then frees your mind from fixating on the scoreboard. We also reframe failure as feedback. When the outcome lags despite solid execution, it's not a moral verdict—it's data that your plan needs adjustment. We offer three reflection questions to drive continuous improvement and show how to protect your best energy for your most important reps. If you're ready to swap magical thinking for a system that compounds, this conversation gives you the tools to define, schedule, and honor the actions that move you forward. Subscribe for more process-driven strategies, share this with a friend who's goal-stuck, and leave a review to tell us the one behavior you're committing to this week.

Quitting drinking is only the beginning. What we choose not to do after we put the bottle down is just as important as what we choose to do. In this Daily Trudge, we're covering the most common traps that take recovering alcoholics off the beam — resentment, isolation, self-pity, drifting from the basics, and thinking we're “good now.” Staying sober means avoiding the behaviors that pull us back into fear, ego, and self-destruction. Today we talk about the things we don't do if we want long-term sobriety: • Don't isolate • Don't stop doing the simple things • Don't rely on self-will • Don't run from feelings • Don't forget quitting drinking is only Step One Recovery thrives when we avoid the pitfalls that once destroyed us.

Linden, the 2018 Boston Marathon Champion and fellow Olympian, recently ran the TCS New York City Marathon alongside first-timer Anthony Ramos.

You trained so you'd be prepared for when it got difficult." – Des Linden "The best thing to do for that [the pain cave] is to just stay in the moment." – Molly Huddle "When you cross the finish line, you're going to just have that tool in your pocket of like, 'Look what I did, look what I can do.'" – Molly Huddle On Strategy & Planning "I like to just think bottle to bottle ... you can pretend you're starting over again." – Molly Huddle "Stay here... You're strong... Hang on." – Molly Huddle "What can I get out of something that's not going my way?" – Des Linden "If it was easy, everyone would do it." – Emily Abbate On Life, Balance, and Identity "This year I will have made a baby, ran a marathon, and I'm like writing a book.

This week, I'm joined by one of the best talents in modern horse racing, five-time British Champion Jockey Oisín Murphy. Oisín takes us far beyond the headlines and the finish lines. We explore his remarkable rise in the sport, the relentless pressure that comes with staying at the top, and the physical and mental toll of life as a jockey. Oisín speaks with rare honesty about his battle with alcoholism, the daily struggle to maintain race weight, and the intense scrutiny that followed his toughest moments.But this is also a story of resilience. Oisín reflects on the highs of his career — the iconic wins, the moments that made history — and the ongoing work of rebuilding, staying sober, and striving to be better every day. It's candid, it's human, and it's a powerful insight into a world few truly understand.LinksOisin's book

Show Notes – You are now listening to Shark Theory… Baylor breaks down the full experience of completing his first HYROX race after 13 weeks of training—and the life lessons that shook loose along the way. From realizing the arena was nothing like he imagined, to understanding how adrenaline can sabotage clarity, to discovering which stations were surprisingly hard (or surprisingly easy), Baylor uses the race as a blueprint for how we should approach challenges, pain, and personal ceilings in everyday life. He explains why leaning into your strengths matters more than obsessively "fixing" your weaknesses, why support systems change everything, and why the worst parts of a race—or your life—will not last forever. The episode wraps with a powerful truth: celebrate your victories, yes, but don't stay there too long. Growth comes from putting the next challenge on the calendar. What You'll Learn Why adrenaline isn't always your friend in new environments How to identify and lean into your natural strengths Why trying to turn weaknesses into "average" isn't a great use of your time The power of community support during difficult seasons How reminding yourself "this will end" is a survival tool Why pain is temporary—but the finish line payoff is permanent The importance of celebrating victories and moving quickly to the next goal How to build momentum through continuous forward motion Featured Quote "You don't win in life by raising your weaknesses to average—you win by raising your strengths to excellence."

In this episode of Pilot's Say What?, we sit down with Caitlin, who started flight training under Part 61, stalled out at 80 hours, and then transformed her entire training journey after switching to Part 141. She became Thrust Flight's very first Finish Line student — and went from stuck to fully rated (Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI) in under a year.

Then, he breaks down today’s unbelievable car chase — a woman in the middle of a mental health crisis takes police from the San Fernando Valley all the way to Tijuana.

In another episode that was already released as a video overnight for our Patreon backers, Ben and Tumaini wrap up what was a very busy Saturday in the world of tennis, including three simultaneous finals. We start with the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where Elena Rybakina won a very high-quality, high-level tournament that still looked small. How is the WTA going in Saudi Arabia after two years? Should they extend their stay there? Read Tumaini's column on the state of the WTA for more. We then discuss the down-to-the-wire (down-to-the-netcord?) drama around the race to Turin, where Novak Djokovic made Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime sweat it out until the last possible moment before withdrawing from Turin. Was that fair or foul? We also discuss the newly announced "Battle of the Sexes" between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios, which we both think is a bad idea (but for a different perspective, read Ben's interview with the organizer, Stuart Duguid). And then for a fun finish, Tumaini waxes lyrical about his love for 1 Point Slam, which is returning in Melbourne next year in a much bigger form. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D.

Topics Covered: • From Cairo to Rutgers: Ali's soccer journey and how he discovered fitness • How CrossFit shaped Egypt's early fitness scene • The birth of AlphaX: a new hybrid race format for the Middle East • Hosting an international event beside the Pyramids • Why the Grand Egyptian Museum launch matters • Event design, pricing, judging, and accessibility • Comparing AlphaX to HYROX Open Summary: Matt talks with Ali and Adam, the founders of AlphaX Egypt, as they prepare for their debut race at the Grand Egyptian Museum. Ali shares his path from pro soccer in Egypt to a D1 scholarship at Rutgers and then back home to build in fitness. Adam explains how an ACL rehab at the U.S. Olympic Training Center pulled him into CrossFit and eventually into running Egypt's largest functional fitness events. AlphaX blends endurance, strength, and power across the year, culminating in "X," a ten-station race with 800-meter runs between stations. Movements include sled push and pull, farmer carry, bear hug carry, burpee broad jumps, box jump overs, lunges, wall balls, row, and ski. Loads and flow are designed to be inclusive and comparable to HYROX Open, with singles, pairs, and relay divisions. Judging focuses on clear standards at high-variance stations like burpees and lunges, with one-to-one judging where needed. Pricing is intentionally accessible for the local market (about $20 USD early bird). Beyond the race, they talk about opening global eyes to Egypt's fitness scene and using iconic locations like the Grand Egyptian Museum to showcase the region.
