Thomas Urano thinks the Fed needs to signal their focus on labor market weakness by cutting rates, but doesn't think it should cut by 50 points, or even cut several months in a row. He also discusses mortgage trends and housing affordability and explains what mortgage-backed security trends can indicate about the economy. As far as fixed income, he thinks that investors should be looking at the “belly of the curve”: 3, 5, or 7-year bonds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
In this value-packed episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dig deep into the realities of business acquisitions, cost-cutting strategies for maximizing profit, and the importance of crafting a life (and business) that supports your version of peace over mere happiness. They break down a real client scenario involving the purchase of a laundromat, dissect the difference between personal perks and profit in a company, and end on a powerful discussion around intuition, energy, and building a purpose-driven environment for both business and home. Key Topics Covered Should You Buy That “Passive Income” Business? Karl and Rode Dog respond to a listener's question about buying a laundromat as a side investment. Karl shares his skepticism, emphasizing that “the second business eats the first” and passive income is rarely as passive as entrepreneurs hope. He breaks down what due diligence looks like for a potential acquisition: digging into financials, lease terms, equipment status, and verifying true cash flow—especially in cash-heavy businesses. The pitfalls of overpaying based on inflated numbers and the importance of understanding the multiple (valuation) that makes sense for this kind of asset. How to Evaluate Expenses: Personal Perks vs. Real Profit They tackle a classic business owner dilemma: is it smarter to maximize company “perks” (and minimize tax) or cut costs and boost reported profits? Karl unveils his two-question rule for every line item: “Does this get a client or keep a client?”—if the answer is no, it might be on the chopping block. The discussion highlights defining a “great life” first and using a feedback loop to reinvest savings into business and personal growth. Intuition, Energy, and Redefining the Goal The episode wraps up with a moment of Zen that ties together intuition, honesty, and the importance of seeking peace—rather than chasing endless happiness or status. Rode Dog and Karl share quick-hit frameworks for staying focused (“If your goals excite you but your daily activities bore you, you're doing it right.”) and the power of eliminating distractions rather than adding complexity. Notable Quotes “Your greatest weakness is your greatest strength turned up too loud.” —Karl Bryan “Remember, you make money when you buy, not when you sell.” —Karl Bryan “The second business eats the first.” —Karl Bryan “Does this get a client, does this keep a client? If not, cut it.” —Karl Bryan “Focus isn't about getting focused, it's about eliminating distractions.” —Karl Bryan “If your goals excite you, but your daily activities bore you, you're doing it right.” —Rode Dog Actionable Takeaways 1. Scrutinize Every New Opportunity: Don't buy a business just because it sounds passive—do thorough due diligence, start negotiations low, and understand the realities behind “hands-off” ventures. 2. Prioritize Costs That Drive Growth: Review all business expenses using Karl's standard: If a line item doesn't directly get or keep a client, consider cutting it for immediate, 100% profit retention. 3. Set Clear Personal and Business Goals: Before making any move—acquisition, investment, or cost cut—get laser clear on the life and business you want to build. Define your “starting line” and “finishing line.” 4. Reinvest Wisely: Feed savings from optimized expenses back into marketing, key hires, or personal time-creation measures (like outsourcing chores) to accelerate growth and improve life quality. 5. Cultivate Peace and Focus: Strive for calm and clarity in your business and home life. Eliminate distractions, manage your energy, and remember that sustainable success is usually “insanely boring.” Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software™ (by Karl Bryan) — The tool to instantly demonstrate value and cash flow opportunities to prospective clients.

Pitcher Partners Principal Advisor Andrew Wilson talked with Proactive about alternative strategies for generating passive income in today's evolving financial landscape. With inflation, interest rate shifts, and volatility affecting traditional income streams, Wilson explored diversified approaches smart investors can consider. He noted that a common mistake is concentrating on a single asset class. “There's only one free lunch in investing and that is diversification,” Wilson said. He stressed the need for clear portfolio goals and selecting assets based on income timelines and capital intentions. Wilson outlined a range of passive income sources including equities, bonds, private credit, infrastructure, and real estate. He also touched on less traditional options such as royalties, catastrophe bonds, and litigation finance, while emphasising the importance of understanding associated risks. On tax strategies, Wilson advised income-focused investors to consider asset placement across different entities like superannuation, trusts, and companies. Timing asset sales and drawing income from less tax-efficient structures were among the key tactics discussed. Wilson also highlighted the shift in focus toward total return, particularly for retirees, and recommended active over passive bond management as market conditions evolve.

It's one that focuses on stability of cash flows over time.” The panel discusses why shifting your mindset from maximizing account balances to managing sustainable cash flow is key to peace of mind. Work, Entrepreneurship, and Purpose Play Critical Roles in a Modern Retirement Kerry Hannon points out that working longer—whether through career extension, entrepreneurship, or passion projects—can boost both financial security and life satisfaction. “How can you continue to work longer? It's a dramatic way to give yourself some security in retirement if you can stay working longer.” The episode explores creative ways Gen X and boomers are redefining "retirement." There's No One-Size-Fits-All: Frameworks vs. Rules Roger Whitney insists that “the answer to almost every question...is ‘It depends'.” No single formula fits everyone; a personalized, evolving plan that balances what you want out of life with practical financial strategies is essential. The episode delves into why regular reviews and customized “guardrails” are more important than rigid withdrawal rules. Guardrails, Buckets, and Behavioral Coaching Are More Vital Than Ever Jamie Hopkins and Dana Anspach review popular strategies like bucket and guardrails approaches, emphasizing that tools and behavioral coaching work best when tailored to each retiree's unique needs and anxieties. Jamie also warns about new financial threats: “I think that fraud...is going to become rampant. It's the biggest concern out there...it's a big concern.” Call-to-Action If you've been feeling uncertain about your own retirement income plan, here's your assignment for the week: Take 30 minutes to map out your expected sources of income in retirement—pensions, Social Security, savings, investments—and identify any potential gaps.

Today, I'm thrilled to welcome David Blanchett back to the podcast. David is the Managing Director and Head of Retirement Research at PGIM DC Solutions and one of the most respected voices in retirement income planning today. You've likely come across his work in Morningstar, Kiplinger, and our Weekend Reading series—and for good reason. His research has earned accolades from nearly every major financial planning organization. In our conversation, we picked up where we left off back in Episode 55 with David's groundbreaking research on retirement spending patterns and adapting it to today's environment of elevated interest rates and persistent inflation. From challenging the idea of a "retirement crisis" that is making headlines everywhere to rethinking the 4% retirement income rule, David helps us distill the data and build income strategies grounded in behavioral and financial realities. In our conversation, we discuss the value and confidence that guaranteed lifetime income annuities provide retirees and how inflation concerns are impacting spending patterns. If you're planning your retirement or considering an adjustment to your current plan, this episode is packed with insights to help you spend your hard-earned dollars with confidence and design a secure and fulfilling retirement. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why “retirement crisis” is an overused headline—and why “challenge” is the better word. What David's research reveals about how real retirees spend—and why most don't adjust spending for inflation as expected. Why a 5% withdrawal rate may be more appropriate than 4% in today's interest rate environment. The behavioral power of guaranteed income—and how it gives retirees the freedom to actually enjoy their savings. How to build inflation hedges into your portfolio using tools like TIPS, annuities, and real assets. Show Notes: RetireWithPurpose.com/499
