Teach a man to fish… or give him everything? In this episode of Upticks, Jake and Cory tackle one of the most misunderstood truths in financial planning: there's no one "right" answer—only better questions. We break down the real trade-offs behind major financial decisions, including: •    Is real estate better than stocks—or just more work? •    How much international exposure could your portfolio need? •    Are "boring bonds" still worth owning in today's market? •    Should you retire the moment you can… or wait? •    And one of the biggest debates of all: Do you spend your money… or leave it behind? From concentrated risk and hidden ROI to legacy planning and financial independence, this conversation challenges many investor questions. ---------------

Are smart, successful professionals unknowingly making retirement planning mistakes? In this episode of Upticks, Jake and Cory break down some of the most common retirement myths. Even the ones high earners and financially savvy individuals may still believe. From assuming your expenses will drop in retirement to relying on outdated rules of thumb, these misconceptions can quietly derail your long-term financial plan. They also unpack a popular strategy used by ultra-wealthy investors where they borrow against their stock instead of selling it. They explain reasons why it may not be as safe or accessible as it sounds. ---------------

Most people chase net worth—but few stop to ask whether it might actually pay them in retirement. In this episode of Upticks, Jake and Cory break down a mistake they see all the time: confusing a big balance sheet with sustainable retirement income. Using real‑world examples (and an unexpected stroller analogy), they explain why a high net worth might not automatically mean financial freedom—and how it could create a false sense of security as retirement approaches. ---------------

Many people assume that once you're financially secure, retirement should feel easy. In reality, some of the most financially prepared people struggle the most with the decision to retire. In this episode of Upticks, Jake and Cory break down the real psychological reasons financially secure individuals might be afraid to retire—even when the numbers say they're ready. ---------------

Market drops feel very different once you retire—and that fear is real.

At some point, firm founders often find that their time is divided between attracting new clients and serving current ones (and running their business). This episode explores how it's possible to delegate technical work to a centralized planning team, segment clients by revenue, and leverage asynchronous communication tools to create client touchpoints while devoting significant time to closing new clients.  Jake Falcon, founder of Falcon Wealth Advisors, has built a $1 billion advisory firm for nearly 900 client households in part by focusing on his strengths as a 'rainmaker' bringing in new clients while stepping back from day-to-day planning analyses and regular client meetings. In this episode, Jake shares how abandoning scripts and prioritizing authentic connections transformed his business development. He also discusses how he's using Instagram to meet potential clients 'where they are' and demonstrate his authentic personality, why he invests client assets directly into stocks and bonds instead of mutual funds and ETFs, and how he hopes that bringing in direct business development hires will help his firm grow well into the future.    For show notes and more visit: https://www.kitces.com/484

From required minimum distributions (RMDs) and Social Security taxation to Medicare IRMAA surcharges, they explain ways poor tax planning can turn the IRS into your biggest retirement expense.

Special Guest: Jake Falcon   catalina@falconwealthadvisors.com   Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show where I empower coaches and consultants to use podcasting as a way to grow influence, attract clients, and share their message with those who need it most. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jake Falcon, founder of Falcon Wealth Advisors, who brings over 20 years of experience in financial services. Jake is on a mission to enhance financial literacy and help people take control of their financial future, especially as they approach retirement. What struck me most in our conversation is how little financial education most of us receive. As Jake shared, many people—even multimillionaires—struggle with fear and uncertainty around retirement simply because they don't know how to manage their wealth to generate income for the long term. His passion for solving this problem came from two things: a childhood fascination with money (sparked by a video game called Wall Street Kid!) and a deep love for helping people create confidence and clarity around their finances. We also talked about his Signature Planning Process, a two-step, highly personalized approach he uses with clients to uncover their true goals, address financial “pain points,” and build a flexible, ongoing plan that evolves with life's changes. Here are my key takeaways from this conversation: Financial literacy isn't taught in schools, but it's essential to living with freedom and confidence. Retirement isn't just about money—it's about purpose, lifestyle, and planning for how you'll spend your time. Money should be seen as a tool, not a burden. It buys you time, freedom, and the ability to give back. Podcasting (yes!) is one of the most powerful ways to build trust with your audience and attract clients who already understand your values and approach. Jake also shared his book, Retiring Right: Smart Steps for Exiting Corporate America, and explained why enhancing financial literacy drives everything he does. This was a fascinating, inspiring conversation about money, purpose, and the power of getting your message out there.   Your Six-Figure Podcast Blueprint https://podcastprofitsunleashed.com/free

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Jake Falcon, CRPC, founder and CEO of Falcon Wealth Advisors, about redefining retirement and personal development. Jake shares why financial freedom isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet but about aligning money with purpose and values. He breaks down the importance of intentional living, how to design a retirement that's meaningful, and why clarity about personal values drives both financial confidence and life satisfaction. This conversation will help you think differently about success, personal growth, and how to plan for a life you love at any stage. About the Guest:Jake Falcon, CRPC, is the founder and CEO of Falcon Wealth Advisors, author of Retiring Right, and host of the popular Upticks newsletter and podcast. With over 20 years of experience guiding entrepreneurs, families, and retirees, Jake is known for blending financial planning with purpose-driven coaching to help clients live and retire with clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways (200 words): Retirement isn't a finish line—it's the freedom to choose how you spend your time without obligation. Personal development is crucial for financial confidence; clarity about values provides the foundation for purpose-driven decisions. Defining your purpose starts with identifying your core values and building daily intentions around them. People who transition well into retirement often fill their calendars intentionally, creating structure and avoiding isolation. Investing with intention goes beyond finances—focus on being fully present and aligned with your goals. Coaching is a powerful tool to build awareness, address blind spots, and find fulfillment in both life and work. Leadership requires self-awareness; supporting your team's goals alongside business objectives fosters alignment and growth. Without purpose, wealth alone can lead to unhappiness. Awareness and seeking guidance can break this cycle.   Connect with Jake Falcon:Instagram: https://instagram.com/falconwadvisorsWebsite: Falcon Wealth AdvisorsPodcast: Upticks Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: Send Me a Message Here CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST: Tune to all our 19 podcasts: Click Here Subscribe to our Newsletter: Click Here Join the Community: Click Here OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management Individual Podcast Management Share Your Story With World FOLLOW US!
