    Today's Headlines: House Democrats want no-longer-Prince Andrew to testify about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi announced her retirement, with California Sen. Scott Wiener emerging as the establishment pick — though AOC's ex–campaign manager Saikat Chakrabarti plans to run too. A federal judge ruled again that Trump must fully fund SNAP benefits by today, but the DOJ is appealing. Trump also struck a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to cap Ozempic-style drugs at $50 for Medicare and Medicaid patients next year. In smaller but iconic justice news, the D.C. “sandwich guy” who threw a sub at an ICE agent was found not guilty of assault. The Heritage Foundation is in “open revolt” after its president defended Tucker Carlson for hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes. Staffers, including members of its antisemitism task force, have quit. Meanwhile, FIFA announced a mysterious new “peace prize” ahead of the World Cup draw in D.C., which insiders say Trump demanded after missing out on a Nobel. And Tesla's board is set to hand Elon Musk a $1 trillion compensation deal.

    Could studying the DNA of extinct animals – or even bringing them back to life – help us save today's endangered species and inform modern medicine?  That may sound like the premise for a Hollywood movie, but it's work that our Raise the Line guest, Dr. Beth Shapiro, is actually engaged in as Chief Science Officer at Colossal Biosciences, which describes itself as the world's first and only de-extinction company.  “It's not just about learning about the past. It's learning about the past so we have more validated scientific information that we can use to predict what we can do to better influence the future,” she tells host Michael Carrese. An internationally-renowned evolutionary molecular biologist and paleogeneticist, Dr. Shapiro is a pioneer in ancient DNA research and has successfully sequenced genomes, like that of the dodo, to study evolution and the impact on humans. At Colossal Biosciences, she leads teams working to bring back traits of extinct species such as the mammoth, not for spectacle, but to restore ecological balance. “When species become extinct, you lose really fundamental interactions between species that existed in that ecosystem. By taking a species that's alive today and editing its DNA so that it resembles those extinct species, we can functionally replace those missing ecological interactions.” Tune into this utterly fascinating conversation to hear about what Jurassic Park got wrong, the positive ecological impact of reintroducing giant tortoises to Mauritius, and the ethics of using gene editing and other biotechnologies. Mentioned in this episode:Colossal Biosciences If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

We also touch on how to use Roth conversions strategically for long-term tax savings, including how they help protect surviving spouses from higher tax brackets and reduce required minimum distributions later in life.

    In this episode of the ROCC Pod, we sit down with Jim Komoroski of the M1 Agency for a deep dive into the often misunderstood world of Medicare and Social Security planning. Jim shares how a personal family health crisis during the pandemic exposed major blind spots in his mother-in-law's retirement planning—despite her seemingly having “her affairs in order.” That experience led him and his wife LIsa, a fellow Gen Xer, to launch the M1 Agency with a mission to help others avoid similar pitfalls.We begin by discussing the concept of being a “feral Gen Xer”—a nod to the self-sufficient, figure-it-out approach that defines many in this generation—and how that mindset helped Jim build a business rooted in research, self-education, and a drive to serve. Jim explains that M1 specializes in Social Security optimization, Medicare education, and annuities, with a local focus and a name inspired by both Woodward Avenue and Medicare itself.The heart of our conversation is focused on how ill-prepared most Americans are when it comes to Social Security and Medicare. Jim breaks down common misconceptions, like the idea that Medicare covers everything or that Social Security won't exist in the future. He stresses that very few people truly optimize their Social Security benefits—only about 8%—and the rest leave an average of $111,000 on the table over their lifetimes. Through individualized planning, Jim helps clients make better decisions on when to claim benefits and how to coordinate those choices with retirement accounts and lifestyle needs.We also touch on lesser-known facts, like how divorced individuals can still benefit from their ex-spouse's Social Security if they were married for at least ten years. Jim emphasizes that education should start early—ideally in your mid-40s—so you're not caught off guard by the real costs of healthcare and retirement. Even healthy Medicare recipients in Michigan spend around $3,700 in their first year on premiums and out-of-pocket costs, so having a strategy is crucial.Jim also shares insight on how misinformation spreads—especially online—and why it's essential to dig into the details, not just rely on headlines. His daily “M1nute” videos help break down complex topics into digestible updates that apply directly to Michigan residents. We wrap up with a conversation about the value of getting involved in the community through the Royal Oak Chamber and how those human connections energize business owners like us.More:The M1 Agency Website: https://www.them1agency.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/them1agency/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheM1AgencyJim on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimkomoroski/00:00 – The Social Security Optimization Problem01:00 – Meet Jim Komoroski of M1 Agency02:42 – How a Family Crisis Sparked a Business05:51 – When Should You Start Planning?07:26 – Medicare Myths and Real Costs10:50 – What is Social Security Optimization?13:08 – Social Security and Divorce15:33 – The “M1nute”: Sorting Out Misinformation16:45 – Chamber Involvement and Community Impact19:56 – Fishbowl Question: Advice I Wish I Took22:32 – Where to Find Jim and Final Thoughts  Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Century 21 Northland - http://soldbylisab.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

No hype. No generalities. Just actionable strategy. You'll learn: The five critical factors we always review for clients in your asset-range (burn rate, age & RMD timeline, future tax rate, estate impact, bracket/IRMAA guardrails). The rules and traps you absolutely cannot ignore (taxable income of a conversion, five-year rule, state tax issues, Medicare surcharge risk). A multi-step plan built for those with $2M–$7M: how to measure, model, convert, monitor. Why 2025-2026 may be one of the last big windows for this strategy (thanks to recent tax law changes). Follow us onX.com: https://x.com/AMGinc_ATLInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/assetmanagementgroupinc/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/amgincatl/Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/beyondtomorrowpodcastWebsite: https://www.assetmg-inc.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@assetmanagementgroupincTikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@assetmanagementgroupincBlog: https://www.assetmg-inc.com/blogDisclosureEducational content only.
