Mitch Tuchman spent this first half of his career as a Silicon Valley software entrepreneur. He then entered investment management with Apex Capital, LLC where he oversaw a $200 million technology portfolio. He founded the first robo-investment firm, MarketRiders, in 2008. By 2012, Tuchman noted that robo-investing needed a “human touch” and he partnered with Scott Puritz to form Rebalance. They recruited an all-star Investment Committee with Princeton Economics Professor Burton Malkiel, author of the classic investment book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street; Dr. Charles Ellis, the former longtime chairman of the Yale University Endowment; and Jay Vivian, the former Managing Director of IBM’s $100+ billion retirement investment funds.

Economists call it the “old-age dependency ratio” - a rough measure of the balance between people who work and retirees. The ratio compares the number of people over age 65 - classified as “old” - with those aged 15 to 64 - and it is not headed in a healthy direction: by 2040, there will be 2.7 working-age Americans for each retiree, down from 4.8 in 2010. That number from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta points toward a shortfall of workers available to support an aging population, and it is cited often to justify doom-and-gloom warnings about economic growth, federal spending and the health of our social insurance programs. But don’t tell that to Chris Farrell. The senior economics contributor to "Marketplace," American Public Media’s nationally syndicated public radio business and economic program, is bullish on aging. Farrell is the author of a new book, Purpose and a Paycheck: Finding Meaning, Money, and Happiness in the Second Half of Life, that seeks to upend a range of myths about old age and dependency, replacing them with a new vision of contribution to society and purpose-driven living. In this week’s podcast, I talk with Chris about some of the key ideas in his book:Why the "dependency ratio" is nonsense;Who is working longer - and why;Which industries and companies are accommodating older workers;The influence of women on the composition of an older workforce;Government polices that could make it easier for people to work longer.Subscribe!This podcast is excerpted from a series delivered each week to subscribers of the RetirementRevised newsletter.

What is the state of the job market for older workers? How can we better manage our careers as an asset that is part of a retirement plan? What are the prospects for people thinking of launching second careers as entrepreneurs.This week on the RetirementRevised.com podcast, we get the view on these questions from two of the nation’s top experts on 50+ careers - Kerry Hannon and John Tarnoff. Both are speakers and best-selling authors, with books to their credit advising older workers on how to navigate the job market. But they look at the 50+ job market through somewhat different lenses. Kerry is a journalist by background; her most recent book is Great Jobs for Everyone 50+, and she has a new book coming on this spring focused on older entrepreneurs, called Never Too Old to Get Rich: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Starting a Business Mid-Life.John has worked as an executive and producer in the entertainment industry, and as a technology entrepreneur. His own career hit a wall at age 50, which led him to his current work as a career coach helping people navigate job transitions. In 2017 he published a best-selling book, Boomer Reinvention: How to Create Your Dream Career Over 50. In 2017, he was named by PBS/Next Avenue as one of its Influencers In Aging.Subscribe!This podcast is excerpted from a series delivered each week to subscribers of the RetirementRevised newsletter.

My guest on the podcast this week is Mitch Tuchman, a pioneer in what we now call the roboadvisor business - that is, investment advisory services that rely on software and algorithms to manage client portfolios. Mitch saw the need for a new low-cost approach to portfolio management back in 2008 when he started MarketRiders, one of the very first robos. But the model quickly evolved beyond just software to a blend of technology and human advice in the successor company he started, called Rebalance Mitch has an interesting personal story - Rebalance is a second career that was born out of a deeply personal mission stemming from challenges that his own family faced. We talked about that, and a range of other current topics in the retirement investing world, including what he thinks people approaching retirement really need today in terms of planning services. We also reflected on the legacy of Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard who passed away recently.This is listener-supported media - so subscribe already!The in-depth version of this interview is available to subscribers to the RetirementRevised newsletter.

About 19 years ago, Mitch Tuchman was sitting in a McDonalds when he saw a school bus unloading a group of severely disabled teenagers. The sight and proximity of the teens rattled him, and he wept. Two years before, he and his wife had given birth to a disabled boy named Jack and the teens provided a glimpse into their future. Mitch joins us to talk about the many lessons he has since learned from Jack, and the company that grew out of his motivation to ensure that Jack would never become a financial burden to his siblings or others.
