Are you tired of overpaying taxes and feeling like your wealth is constantly slipping away? In this eye-opening episode of The Richer Geek Podcast, we dive into the tax secrets used by the ultra-wealthy with Mark Miller, President of Hilton Tax & Wealth Advisors. For over 30 years, Mark has helped business owners, physicians, and high-net-worth clients save tens of millions in taxes while increasing their wealth by over $200 million. As a best-selling author of The Tax-Free Business Owner, he reveals how business owners can zero out their taxes just like Fortune 500 companies. Featured in top publications like The New York Times and Kiplinger's Personal Finance, Mark's insights will empower you to reduce your tax burden and accelerate your path to financial freedom.  In this episode, we're discussing… Beyond Basic Compliance: Don't mistake standard CPA services for proactive, advanced tax planning that can significantly reduce your tax burden. Family Office Strategies for Main Street: Learn how strategies historically used by the ultra-wealthy, like the Hilton family, are now accessible to a wider range of investors. The Power of a Formalized Tax Plan: Just like a business plan, a strategic tax plan is crucial for minimizing your biggest lifetime expense: taxes. Debunking Tax Myths: Understand that aggressive, legal tax planning doesn't necessarily increase audit risk and that IRS audits are often less intrusive than perceived. Safety First Investing: Discover the investment philosophy of the wealthy, prioritizing safety and security as the foundation for consistent, long-term returns. Actionable Strategies Exist: Explore advanced tax mitigation techniques beyond standard deductions and retirement contributions, potentially leading to a significantly lower or even zero tax bracket.        Resources from Mark      LinkedIn | Hilton Tax & Wealth Advisors | The Tax-Free Business Owner | Hilton Wealth: How to Invest Like An American Dynasty      Resources from Mike and Nichole      Gateway Private Equity Group |  Nic's guide | Franchise With Bob

Retirees have leveraged the traditional IRA for decades to invest and save, but is it still the best tool for today's retirement landscape? IRA expert Ed Slott recently called the traditional IRA “the worst possible asset to own,” which is a bold statement. If this is true, when did it all change, and what are some better options? In this episode, we'll explore the validity of this statement and have a real conversation about investing and taxes.  Here's what we cover in this episode:

Most people focus on saving for retirement, but what happens when you actually get there? Retirement isn't just about having enough money—it's about managing risks that can threaten your financial security and lifestyle.  In this episode, we explore Five Key Retirement Challenges (and Solutions), inspired by a Kiplinger's Personal Finance article by Walt West. From unexpected market downturns to rising healthcare costs, these challenges can catch retirees off guard if they're not prepared. We break down each challenge—financial instability, healthcare expenses, taxes, inflation, and estate planning oversights—and discuss practical strategies to navigate them. Learn how to structure a flexible withdrawal plan, prepare for long-term care costs, use tax-efficient strategies like Roth conversions, and ensure your estate plan protects your loved ones.  Plus, we tackle a listener question about using a MIGA ladder strategy to bridge the gap until Social Security—offering insights into the pros and cons of annuities in a retirement portfolio. If you want to retire with confidence and avoid costly missteps, this episode is a must-listen. Whether you're years away from retirement or already in it, understanding these key challenges and their solutions can help you make smarter financial decisions for the road ahead.

March Madness is here, and just like filling out a bracket, picking individual stocks feels exciting. But the odds of winning big are slim. Investors often chase stock picks the same way they bet on their favorite teams, but history shows most stocks underperform, just like most brackets get busted. In this video, Scott breaks down the risky game of stock picking and how it compares to the unpredictability of March Madness. Here's what we cover in this episode:

In this podcast episode, Brian shares his remarkable journey from his parents' middle-class immigrant background to achieving financial freedom through decades of learning and building businesses. He recounts his early aspiration for an opulent lifestyle and the pivotal moment when he realized the importance of creating income-producing assets. Through content creation, including three books and the Common Sense Financial Podcast, Brian's financial wisdom and expertise have garnered recognition and awards, providing valuable insights into wealth, financial freedom, and the pursuit of life's true riches. Join us as we explore Brian's wealth-building principles, the significance of faith, family, and relationships, and the pursuit of genuine financial freedom. It was over 30 years ago when Brian got started in business and he's spent this time building his knowledge while building teams and companies. Brian begins by telling the story of his parents and how they came over from Croatia and lived a middle-class life. His father worked evenings and weekends as a lab engineer while also running a business on the side. His work ethic greatly inspired Brian as he grew up. As a teen, he always dreamed of having expensive things, but his only model for getting that done involved trading time for money, which is exactly what he did throughout his early 20's. This led to him working harder to keep up with his increasingly expensive lifestyle. After doing it wrong for years, Brian had an epiphany where he realized he needed to create income-producing assets that would pay for his lifestyle. He set out to create a passive income stream to support his lifestyle and successfully accomplished it. That's when his focus for what he was really trying to do for his clients came into clarity. Brian began producing content back in 2010. And out of that came three books: Common Sense, Generational Planning, and Retirement Planning, which can all be found on Amazon. This led to the beginning of the Common Sense Financial Podcast, which has since been recognized by Forbes as a top 10 podcast by financial advisors. Brian also became a regular contributor for Kiplinger magazine locally in St. Louis. He's gone on to win numerous awards for his work. After 30 years of helping clients create the passive income they need to create real financial freedom, Brian regularly hears clients say that his process has really opened their eyes about how money works and how to think about wealth. In his personal life, Brian has been married to his wife Carrie for 30 years and has three kids, who have also grown up and had families of their own. Throughout their lives, Brian and his wife have taught their children two main things. First, most importantly, for them to pursue a close personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to live out their faith in their daily walk. Second to that, is to understand that a worthy pursuit in life is the things money can't buy: building relationships, investing, and creating memories and experiences with people that you love. A key lesson that took Brian a long time to figure out is that the pursuit of things never brings satisfaction. Real wealth is not found in things but in the freedom to live your life free from having to work for a paycheck or trade your time for money, which is another lesson he tries to impart to his kids as well as his clients.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BuildBanking.com Common Sense: YOUR Guide to Making Smart Choices with YOUR Money by Brian Skrobonja Generational Planning by Brian Skrobonja Retirement Planning: Have A Plan So You Can Live Your Life by Brian Skrobonja     Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.
