We're tipping our deerstalker cap to Basil Rathbone in celebration of his June 13th birthday. Of course, we'll hear him as Sherlock Holmes in three old time radio adventures from Baker Street - “Murder in the Casbah” (originally aired on Mutual on December 3, 1945), “The Indiscretion of Mr. Edwards” (originally aired on Mutual on February 4, 1946), and “The Adventure of the Uneasy Easy Chair” (originally aired on Mutual on May 13, 1946). Plus, he plays John Adams in his pre-presidential days as a lawyer defending British soldiers involved in the infamous Boston Massacre. We'll hear Rathbone in “John Yankee” from The Cavalcade of America (originally aired on NBC on August 29, 1950).
Most pre-retirees have no idea how much they'll need per month to retire comfortably, and many retirement planning tools don't help—they assume spending stays constant over time. But in this episode, listeners will discover the truth about retirement spending patterns and why understanding these shifts can mean the difference between retiring early and working years longer than necessary.Through real data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, host Adam Olson breaks down retirement spending into three key phases: the Go-Go Years (ages 65-74), the Slow-Go Years (ages 75-84), and the No-Go Years (85+). Listeners will learn how discretionary spending on travel and entertainment peaks early in retirement, healthcare costs rise later, and transportation and housing expenses typically decrease over time. This insight challenges conventional retirement planning wisdom and reveals how outdated financial models could be pushing people to delay retirement unnecessarily.Key Takeaways: • Most retirement calculators overestimate lifetime spending by 15-25%, potentially adding years of unnecessary work. • Spending decreases as retirees age, with later years requiring less than commonly assumed. • A strategic approach—factoring in spending phases—could allow for early retirement while ensuring financial security. • The “Red Zone Retirement Planning” strategy helps retirees optimize their spending and investments for maximum freedom.Ready to take control of your retirement plan?

In this conversation, Dr. Will Varner discusses his extensive research on the Gospels, particularly focusing on the authorship of the Gospels and the his belief that Matthew was written first (Matthew Priority rather than Markan Priority) and then Luke, and finally Mark. He explores the historical context of Gospel writing, the influence of higher criticism on the New Testament, and the significance of early church fathers like Papias and Irenaeus. Varner argues for a reevaluation of the traditional views on Gospel authorship, emphasizing the Jewish context of Matthew and the implications of these findings for contemporary biblical scholarship and bible study as well as exegesis and hermeneutics. In this conversation, Dr. William Varner and Dr. Paul Weaver delve into the complexities of the Gospels, particularly focusing on the relationship between Matthew and Mark. They discuss the implications of the unique details found in Mark's Gospel. The conversation also touches on the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding the authors, the debate between Matthew Priority and Mark Priority, and the influence of modern scholarship on these views. Varner recommends several resources for those interested in exploring Matthew Priority further, emphasizing the importance of understanding the Gospels in their historical and theological context.0:00 Introduction02:21 - Dr. Varner's Journey and Insights on the Gospels07:15 - Debating Markan vs. Matthean Priority12:31 - The Role of Early Church Fathers in Establishing Priority19:00 - Understanding Papias and the "Hebrew Dialect" 24:52 - The Synoptic Problem and Mutual Dependence31:03 - Exploring the Influence of Academia on Gospel Studies38:07 - Recommended Resources for Further Study

In this episode of Talking Real Money, Don and Tom take aim at one of the most persistent investing mistakes: owning individual stocks. With humor and sharp skepticism, they explore why investors—even those who say they follow the show's advice—still concentrate wealth in a few companies like Apple, NVIDIA, or their employer's stock. Referencing Jason Zweig's Wall Street Journal column and legendary research from Bessembinder, they show how dangerous, emotional, and often delusional this strategy really is. From Washington Mutual to VF Corp, the history of single-stock implosions is long and painful.

Welcome to Season 2 of Come With Me — a podcast devoted to the portals that initiate us into deeper love, wilder truth, and unapologetic embodiment. In this opening episode, I share a deeply personal story of rupture with the woman who raised me — my Samoan grandmother — and the emotional reckoning that followed when repair wasn't possible. This isn't just a story about family; it's a reflection on what happens when love remains… but safety, attunement, and accountability do not. We explore: The truth about repair (and why it's rarely mutual) How ancestral trauma shapes our nervous systems and intimacy patterns The emotional progression from resentment to contempt What it means to return to yourself when others can't meet you The difference between performative and embodied repair And the radical self-leadership required to break generational cycles This episode is for those who've over-given, over-explained, and still felt unseen. For those navigating the grief of love without safety. For those ready to stop waiting for someone else to change… and start choosing themselves. You heal forward by healing back. And that healing begins in your body. Let's stay connected: Instagram: @catrinaarmendariz Website: www.catrinaarmendariz.com

Forty years of oppression from the Philistines followed Israel's sin. Manoah, of the tribe of Dan had a barren wife. She, although unnamed, is the central character of the story of chapter 13. She has an unknown visitor who is later discovered to be an angel: Hebrews 13 verse 2. The angel told the barren woman that she is to have a son. She and her unborn son were both to be Nazarites from this day. The requirements for Nazarites are listed in verses 4-5 (see also Numbers 6). The angel also describes Samson's mission, for so the son would be called (Judges 13 verse 24). Samson's mission was “to begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines” (verse 5). This task was completed by David several generations later. In verses 6-7 Manoah's wife relates to her husband the stranger's visit and his message to her. Verse 8 tells us that Manoah and his wife realise that their visitor was a man of God. Samson's father prays for God to again send the man. Verse 9 says that the angel was sent again to the woman. Why does Manoah seem to be bypassed? Perhaps it's symbolic of the virgin birth in the bypassing of Joseph's line and we can compare this with the angel Gabriel appearing to the virgin Mary. Samson's mother runs to fetch her husband. Verses 12-14 tell of the angel's repeating to Manoah the earlier message to his wife. In verse 15 Manoah offers hospitality to the angel. The angel replies in verse 16 by saying that he will not eat the food, but that it should be offered to the LORD. Manoah asks the angel's name. The angel says that his name is “wonderful” (Hebrew – ‘pele' and is used of the miracles performed when Israel was delivered from Egypt). A kindred word is used in verse 19 which describes the angel's stretching out his staff, resulting in fire consuming the offering and the angel ascending to God in the smoke from the offering. Was this the same angel who had delivered Israel from Egypt by inflicting the 10 wonders, or plagues? Finally, realising that their visitor was an angel, Manoah mistakenly believes that doom will overtake them; until the sense and reason of his wife prevails. She logically says to her husband that if their Sovereign was going to destroy them why would He send an angel with a glorious message of deliverance. The last verses describe the birth of Samson, whose name means “brilliant sunshine”, whose personality appears to be like his name. As Samson grows up in the camp of Dan – the location of the remnants of the tribe that endeavoured to faithfully occupy their inheritance when the majority of their tribe migrated to the Phoenician coast described in Judges 17 and 18. In the camp of Dan Samson's spirit is stirred by Yahweh's spirit in order to bring this Judge to afflict the Philistines. In our Isaiah chapter, 37, Hezekiah recognises the extremity of the nation's apparent impending fate and his own imminent demise due to an extreme failure of health. King Hezekiah does the only logical thing – he leaves it to God by making it a matter of faithfulness and prayer. We notice in verse 4 that Hezekiah's servants acknowledge that despite the seeming hopelessness of their situation, “the Living God” who the Assyrians have reproached may arise in judgment to vindicate and glorify His name. Likewise the king himself reiterated the same incontrovertible truth verse 17. King Hezekiah, ignores the threat of the overwhelming numbers of the mighty army camped outside Jerusalem's walls and the king's own impending death, prays to Judah's Omnipotent Creator. Hezekiah humbly prays for the Almighty to arise and deliver His people and erase the words of reproach that had blasphemously been said against Yahweh their God. Hezekiah sends the three nobles, named in chapter 36, with the king's answer to Rabshakeh's demand to surrender. He tells the Assyrian general in verses 22-29 how the daughter of Zion disdains the futility of the Assyrian rants. The prophet Isaiah is sent to Hezekiah with the LORD's response and sign that He would save His people. Verses 33-35 says that Judah needed to do nothing except to “stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh”. Verses 36-38 tell of the angel of the LORD smiting 185,000 Assyrians in a single night. These verses tell us of the Assyrian king's shameful retreat to Nineveh only to be assassinated by two of his sons. The Apostle Paul May very well had Isaiah 37 in mind when he wrote the words of 1 Timothy 4 verses 9-10. The first 7 verses of 1 Peter 3 outline the principles governing the relationship between wives and husbands. This relationship exists to assist one another to graciously receive an inheritance in the kingdom. Mutual submission – the one to the other is key to a balanced spiritual marriage (compare Ephesians 5 verses 22-33). Outward adornment is to be sparse – the true focus is to be on modesty and a heart centred on our Lord Jesus Christ. Abraham and Sarah provide the model for all time (compare Isaiah 51 verses 1-5). The faithful example of a spouse may in time win her unbelieving husband to Christ's way. The Word of God and prayer are the cement for a successful marriage. And husbands must not lord it over their wives, but rather be prepared, as Christ showed us, to sacrifice themselves for their wives. Verses 8-22 speak of suffering for righteousness' sake. Listen to and contemplate the words of verse 8, “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind” (ESV). We do not repay evil with evil, but rather by blessing. Verses 10-12 are a protracted quote from Psalm 34 (one of the most frequently quoted Psalms in the New Testament). This is because the course of life is advised for a believer to follow. Once again prayer is stressed as a guiding force. Christ's disciples' lives are to be exemplary in manifesting the holiness of their Father's calling (Leviticus 19verse 13). In suffering for righteousness' sake faithful believers pattern themselves on Christ their head. These disciples become one with our Lord Jesus through belief and baptism; and their identification is a response to a conscience desiring to be reconciled to God. The same attitude was shown by Noah, as he likewise believed the LORD when he built the ark and proclaimed the Almighty's power to save those who trust in the salvation God provides. Our Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth bringing us the longed for deliverance in his coming kingdom. The fourth chapter in commencing with the word ‘for' shows us that it is a linked to the behaviour at the end of chapter 3. The first 11 verses tell us that we are stewards of God's grace. In knowing the extent to which Christ Jesus suffered for the upholding of the righteousness of his Father we too cannot continue in sin as the heedless world does. Without the gospel we are dead, as dead as this wicked world is now. But we have been made alive in Christ. Let our sober minds never forget this. Believers must strive on the behalf of others and with the love of God, outworked in Christ, to extend our Father's graciousness to any and all. Faithful speech must not be self-focussed, but we need speak with God's Words. From verses 12-19 Peter explains that the believer's lot is one of suffering for Christ's sake. The sufferings that the faithful of the diaspora were experiencing was not in any way unexpected – it was because they are living as had their Master and would not be deflected from patterning themselves on him. Like what was seen with our Lord glory and exaltation would follow rejection and persecution. The Scriptures have always shown this to the path of the righteous – see Ezekiel 8 verse 18 to 9 verse 12. Chapter 5 of 1 Peter pursues the theme of humility and of our suffering preceding exaltation and glory. The focus, as always rightly remains upon our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the chief shepherd, as he had taught Peter both by word and example (compare John 21). Peter embraced and accepted that responsibility with fervour. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the good shepherd (John 10). He is also the chief shepherd (1 Peter 5). And Jesus is the great shepherd (Hebrews 13). Our responsibility, like Peter's (who learned it first from his Lord), is to feed God's flock (Psalm 23verse 100). This is done out of a love that reciprocates that of the Father and His Son, not out of compulsion and certainly not for any pay. Those who like their Master clothe themselves with true humility (John 15 and Philippians 2verse 1-11), shall in God's good time be honoured and exalted. Verses 13-14 end the letter with final greetings.
Most pre-retirees believe that saving more money means a more secure retirement—but what if that mindset is actually holding you back? In this episode, host Adam Olson dives into the over-saving trap, a common financial mistake that leaves retirees living well below their means, missing out on the life they worked so hard to build. Instead of securing financial freedom, they create a self-imposed financial prison.Adam breaks down why fear of market downturns, healthcare costs, and running out of money cause many to delay retirement unnecessarily or drastically underspend when they don't have to. With real-life examples and practical financial strategies, this episode uncovers why a structured retirement income plan is more important than just accumulating a big savings balance.Key Takeaways: • More savings doesn't equal more security—structured income does. • The retirement red zone (5-10 years before and after retirement) is the most critical period for financial decisions. • Delaying retirement due to fear can steal your best years and lead to unnecessary work stress. • Creating tax-efficient income streams prevents a financial “tax bomb” later in retirement. • True legacy isn't just about passing down wealth—it's about using your wealth wisely today while securing generational financial stability.If you're ready to rethink your approach to retirement and start living freely without fear, this episode is for you.

On May 6, Missouri's Endangered Wolf Center sent six tiny wolf pups to New Mexico on a rare journey. From that point on, the 10-day-old wolves will grow up wild. The center has raised 289 Mexican wolves since it was founded about 50 years ago by former St. Louis Zoo director — and host of “Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom” — Marlin Perkins. Sarah Holaday, the center's director of animal care and conservation, and Susan Schmoker, the center's curator, share their insights into the crucial role Missouri plays in restoring these apex predators in their natural environments.
Ryan McCormack, Director of Operational Readiness and Optimization at The Wawanesa Mutual Company, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to discuss his approach to problem-solving in organizations. Ryan has spent over two decades seeking to understand and apply principles that enrich the working lives of people in large organizations, with experience spanning manufacturing, healthcare, management consulting, and insurance. Ryan explained that his role in problem solving shifts depending on circumstances, but primarily involves consulting and facilitation. He leads a team of problem solvers and determines how hands-on or hands-off to be based on the capability of people who own the problem and the complexity of the issue. Ryan learned to start by asking questions to understand these factors before deciding whether to take ownership or develop others' skills. When evaluating his team's capacity to solve problems, Ryan focuses on finding people who have the will and joy for problem-solving—qualities he believes are difficult to teach. His team development strategy centers on a mix of technical problem-solving skills, people skills, and consulting abilities. Rather than keeping people on his team permanently, Ryan prefers to rotate members in and out, giving them skills they can take back to the organization. He measures his career success not by projects completed but by seeing people he's developed go on to leadership roles. For effective collaboration, Ryan emphasized the importance of having a shared problem that everyone is desperate to solve. Without genuine alignment, collaboration becomes artificial. He shared a pragmatic insight that includes actively resistant people on problem-solving teams who have "worked 0% of the time" in his experience. He also highlighted the crucial role of sponsorship, noting that while most leaders believe they're great sponsors, few actually are, and some can't resist taking over the problem. When addressing root cause analysis in knowledge work, he pointed out unique challenges. Unlike manufacturing environments, knowledge work involves "decision factories" where the quality of decisions is rarely measured. Traditional techniques like asking why five times are less effective in these settings. Ryan's approach starts with understanding the decision-making process and establishing what quality looks like. He noted that in complex organizations, almost no one actually understands how decisions are made, making it difficult to assess root causes without first agreeing on what constitutes quality. Ryan lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba with his wife and daughter.

Meaningful relationships are mutual. Balanced with give and take, equal influence between partners, and a vibrant dance of loving responsiveness and caring attention.Marriage and Family Therapist and professor Dr. Jessica ChenFeng is calling us toward a more justice-oriented approach to relationships and to mental health and well-being, She invites us to open-hearted and empathic perspective taking, and seeking an integrated wholeness that incorporates all of who we are—highlighting the gift of mutuality in our most intimate relationships in marriage and family life.In this conversation with Jessica ChenFeng, we discuss:The importance of integrated and whole experience of ourselves—allowing racial, gender, and cultural identities to weave together in our sense of vocation and contribution to the worldThe importance of mutuality in relationships—but particularly in marriage and family systems.The ways emotional power flows in a relationship and impacts marriage and family dynamicsThe difference between partners focusing on meeting their individual needs and caring for the health of an intimate relationshipAnd she offers a guided practical exercise to help us lovingly notice and accept our inner experience with a heart open to justice, vulnerability, and the reminder that we are beloved in the eyes of God.Episode Highlights"Systems of power harm everyone—and to live life to the full, we have to see each other fully.""I believe our move toward life to the full requires us to see the world through a third-order lens: not just family systems, but the racial, gender, and societal systems they exist within.""Mutuality means not just expressing our needs but being willing to be changed by the needs of others.""If we're not attuned to the pleasant sensations in our bodies, we miss the invitations to thrive.""Cultural norms are not God-given realities; they are social constructs we are invited to discern and transform.""Knowledge without authentic relationship keeps us from truly seeing the embodied experiences of others."Helpful Links and ResourcesCheck out the programs in Marriage & Family Therapy at Fuller School of Psychology www.fuller.edu/school-of-psychology/Fuller Asian American Center aac.fuller.edu/Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT) OverviewCircle of Care Model ExplainedPositive Psychology and EmotionsJeanne Tsai's Research on Culture and EmotionAsian American Values Scale ReferenceRace and Trauma ResourcesJeanne Tsai's research on culture and emotion – Stanford SPARQJohn and Julie Gottman Relationship ResearchAsian American Values Scale – Paniagua & Yamada (Academic resource)Show NotesJessica ChenFeng shares her "yes and" identity as a second-generation Taiwanese American grounded in both math and creativity.How earthy aesthetics and connection to nature shape Jessica's professional and personal flourishing.The integration of Christian faith with clinical work at Fuller Seminary."Seeing systems of systems" — why thriving requires understanding how race, gender, and cultural forces shape individuals and families.Introduction to socio-emotional relationship therapy (SERT) and the value of mutuality in relationships.Defining mutuality: mutual attunement, mutual influence, mutual vulnerability, and mutual relational responsibility."Mutuality asks: Are both people tending to the relationship itself?"Practical signs of mutual and non-mutual relationships, including emotional attunement and willingness to be influenced.The importance of humility and relational awareness in building mutual relationships.The Circle of Care model: cultivating healthy relational dynamics through attunement and responsiveness.Discerning relational power dynamics in marriages, friendships, and work relationships."Thriving is an open heart, even on a stressful day."How emotional self-control in Asian American cultures is often rooted in relational ethics, not personal repression.The risk and gift of navigating cross-generational emotional communication in immigrant families.Differentiated selfhood: balancing authenticity with cultural respect in relational dynamics.Race, culture, and relational healing: why systems of privilege harm everyone."Love your neighbor as yourself" as an ethic for mutual flourishing across racial and cultural difference.Building trust by leaning into discomfort and courageous conversations.The need for embodied encounters with real people beyond theories of race and difference.Mindfulness practice: Jessica leads a guided exercise in attuning to pleasant sensations in the body.The transformational power of positive emotions and embodiment for creativity and resilience.The relational impact of systemic racialization and why "colorblindness" fails to honor real lived experience.Final reflections: How knowing who we are through systemic and relational lenses allows deeper thriving.Pam King's Key TakeawaysEach of us in the human family is a beloved child of God—and we need to continue to shape society to reflect this foundational truth.The path to meaning and fulfillment in a relationship starts with noticing and acknowledging the flow of emotional power, and its destination is mutuality and humilityThriving means incorporating all of who we are—our heritage and histories especially—into our love of ourselves, our love of others, and love of God.Our intimate relationships need care and attention as a third reality beyond our selves and our partners.And finally, thriving means opening our hearts each day, connecting our inner and relational realities, and learning to love patiently the multitudes we all contain.About Jessica ChenFengDr. Jessica ChenFeng is Associate Professor at the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary, and is also Director of the Asian American Well-being Collaboratory at Fuller's Asian American Center.

We are all entitled to great leadership—at home, at work, and in our communities. That's not just a lofty idea—it's a standard. But here's the reality: the leadership models we've inherited were built for a different time. In today's rapidly evolving world, especially with millennials and Gen Z making up most of the future workforce, it's time we adapt. That's where intergenerational leadership steps in. Leadership expert Mai Moore breaks it down simply: intergenerational leadership is about connecting different age groups to foster understanding and increase impact. It's about bridging gaps, not widening them. If we're going to attract, retain, and grow top talent, our leadership must evolve. And that means listening to what each generation brings to the table. Understanding Generational Differences at Work Here's the deal: up to six generations are in today's workforce, and each comes with different values, expectations, and communication styles. There's a major gap between how seasoned executives operate and how Gen Z thinks. But no generation has all the answers. That's why collaboration is key. This doesn't mean leaders have to abandon their experience. It means using that experience to guide, while staying open to the ideas and innovations younger workers bring. Great leaders know how to coach—not control—and how to mentor without micromanaging. Shared Values Across the Generational Divide Despite our differences, we all want the same core things: a better world, meaningful work, good health, happiness, and purpose. It's not always about money. It's about value—value in our roles, our relationships, and our contributions. Leaders must focus on what matters to the whole team. That includes creating clarity in expectations, showing employees how their work connects to a bigger mission, and encouraging them to take initiative without dampening their enthusiasm. Communication: The Real Leadership Superpower If we're going to close the generational gap, we need to improve how we talk—and listen—to one another. Each generation has its own way of communicating. Some prefer face-to-face, others thrive on digital. Effective leadership means being flexible and understanding both. Mai Moore offers a powerful tool used in military leadership: repeat back what you heard. It may seem simple, but it builds trust, ensures clarity, and reduces conflict. Communication should always be a two-way street. Mentorship should be too. Mutual respect opens the door for shared learning—seasoned professionals can pass on wisdom, and younger team members can introduce fresh, modern perspectives. Self-Awareness: Leadership Starts Within Before you can lead others, you have to face yourself. That means knowing your strengths, acknowledging your blind spots, and recognizing how your actions affect those around you. Self-awareness isn't about being perfect—it's about being present. It's understanding how your past experiences shape your leadership and being willing to evolve. Leaders who do the inner work build stronger, more resilient teams. Mai Moore shares this truth: the answers aren't out there—they're already within you. It's time to start asking better questions and leading with purpose.

Many assume that hitting a $2.5 million savings milestone means instant financial freedom in retirement. But as today's episode reveals, having substantial wealth doesn't automatically mean you're ready to retire. One of the most complex situations financial advisors encounter isn't a lack of money—it's uncertainty, fear, and the challenge of transitioning from accumulating wealth to using it wisely.In this episode, host Adam Olson explores a real-life client case study: a couple in their early 60s with $2.5 million in retirement savings, yet they found themselves paralyzed by financial unknowns. From market downturn concerns to tax-efficient withdrawal strategies, they struggled with key decisions that kept them from stepping into the retirement they had worked so hard to achieve. The husband, despite financial security, remained tied to his job because his identity and purpose were wrapped up in his career.Listeners will gain powerful insights into: • Why a high net worth doesn't guarantee retirement readiness. • The key financial and psychological roadblocks keeping people from retiring. • How to create a guaranteed income stream for retirement stability. • The importance of defining purpose beyond work to avoid an unfulfilling retirement. • How the right planning process can provide clarity, confidence, and financial peace.If you're wondering whether you're truly ready to retire—or if you're stuck in financial indecision—this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, examine how our assumptions about our partner's behavior shape the emotional climate of our relationship. Often, we default to interpretations that paint our partner as careless or intentionally hurtful, which leads to defensiveness and distance. By learning to make generous, non-evil assumptions—like believing our partner is overwhelmed rather than selfish—we create more space for empathy, curiosity, and connection. We cover topics such as: We often assume the worst based on our own insecurities. Generous assumptions reduce conflict. Shift from “they're against me” to “they're struggling.” Mutual generosity creates safety. And more! Give Me Discounts! Skylight - Visit skylightcal.com/IDO for $30 off your 15 inch calendar.

Many people delay retirement simply because they've been told outdated financial advice that no longer applies. In this episode, Adam Olson breaks down five of the most common retirement myths that keep individuals from stepping into financial freedom. These misconceptions—such as needing to work until 65 for Medicare or relying solely on pre-tax savings—can drastically impact when and how you retire.Listeners will learn how strategic tax planning, cash reserves, and alternative income streams can open up retirement opportunities sooner than expected. With insights from years of experience in financial planning, Adam exposes the truth behind Monte Carlo retirement scores, the importance of balancing pre-tax and post-tax savings, and why income security matters more than high investment returns.Key Takeaways: • You don't have to work until 65 to retire—alternative healthcare options exist. • Pre-tax savings aren't always the best; tax-free income strategies can maximize retirement security. • A low Monte Carlo retirement score doesn't mean you can't retire—it means you need a better strategy. • Saving every dollar isn't the key; balance and a clear financial plan matter more. • High investment returns are important, but steady retirement income is the true key to financial stability.If you're in the “retirement red zone” and wondering whether 2025 could be your year to retire, take the first step today.

They say clothes make the man, but they also make mysteries for this week's roster of radio detectives. George Valentine hunts a killer where the only clue is his distinctive attire in “Death Wears a Gay Sport Jacket” from Let George Do It (originally aired on Mutual on October 18, 1948) and Philo Vance probes the murder of a dress shop owner in the syndicated episode “The Herringbone Murder Case.” Richard Diamond tries to find out why someone keeps stealing blue serge suits (originally aired on ABC on February 9, 1951), and The Saint discovers a bullet hole in the back of his brand-new suit in “Formula for Death” (originally aired on ABC on March 25, 1951). Finally, John Lund stars as Johnny Dollar in “The Rochester Theft Matter,” where a girl is gunned down while wearing a stolen fur coat (originally aired on CBS on May 12, 1953).
Myron McCormick took home a Tony for his performance as gruff but lovable sailor Luther Billis in the original Broadway production of South Pacific, and before his premature passing at the age of 54 he logged several memorable turns on the stage and screen. We'll hear him as an archeologist who may have found a lost treasure in “Door of Gold” (originally aired on CBS on February 10, 1957) and as a mental patient who escapes from the hospital with revenge on his mind in “Madman of Manhattan” (originally aired on CBS on March 8, 1959). Plus, he plays detective in “No Time for Murder” from Crime Club (originally aired on Mutual on September 25, 1947).
Prior to discussing his topic of the day, Paul shares his thoughts on a recent podcast featuring Truth Tellers Tom Cock and Don McDonald, joined by Weston Wellington from Dimensional Fund Advisors. Weston weighs in on some of the most critical issues facing investors right now.Here are the topics on the podcast with Tom Cock and Don McDonald-0:53 Weston Wellington on volatility and market uncertainty2:47 Why volatility is the “price we pay to play”3:32 The media's role in investor anxiety4:57 Should investors act on daily financial advice?6:15 Portfolio changes should reflect personal changes, not headlines7:24 Spam vs. Motorola: A lesson in stock picking9:44 Dimensional's stance on individual stock ownership10:02 Diversification as “the closest thing to a free lunch”11:07 Are alternative investments the new magic bullet?12:43 Mutual funds vs. ETFs—what works best and when15:27 Industry evolution: from 8% loads to indexing dominance18:29 Where Dimensional fits in the modern fund landscape21:01 AI vs. “aggregated intelligence” in managing portfolios24:04 How regular people can find real financial advice25:34 The key to success: Temperament, not timing26:44 Weston's side gig as a roving birthday singer27:58 Why Weston hasn't been invited lately (and he's lonely)Next, Paul highlights a recent article by another Truth Teller, Ben Carlson. In “60/40 Portfolio Corrections, Bear Markets and Recoveries,” Ben breaks down the differences in returns during bear markets and the bounce-back that follows.

Don and Tom welcome Weston Wellington of Dimensional Funds for a rare and richly insightful conversation covering market volatility, media noise, diversification, and the enduring wisdom of index investing. Weston compares Spam to Motorola, skewers financial hype, and champions simplicity in investing—and yes, he might just sing if you let him. The conversation explores how far the financial industry has evolved (and still has to go), why most investors get in their own way, and whether AI or just good old-fashioned “aggregated intelligence” holds the future of smart money management. 0:04 Don's surprise “singing telegram” and guest intro0:53 Weston Wellington on volatility and market uncertainty2:47 Why volatility is the “price we pay to play”3:32 The media's role in investor anxiety4:57 Should investors act on daily financial advice?6:15 Portfolio changes should reflect personal changes, not headlines7:24 Spam vs. Motorola: A lesson in stock picking9:44 Dimensional's stance on individual stock ownership10:02 Diversification as “the closest thing to a free lunch”11:07 Are alternative investments the new magic bullet?12:43 Mutual funds vs. ETFs—what works best and when15:27 Industry evolution: from 8% loads to indexing dominance18:29 Where Dimensional fits in the modern fund landscape21:01 AI vs. “aggregated intelligence” in managing portfolios24:04 How regular people can find real financial advice25:34 The key to success: Temperament, not timing26:44 Weston's side gig as a roving birthday singer27:58 Why Weston hasn't been invited lately (and he's lonely) Learn more about your ad choices.

Our dogged detectives sniff for clues in five canine-related old time radio mysteries. First, the owner of the best in show pooches is killed at a dog show in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie, and a dog “tells” Sherlock Holmes who murdered his owner in “The Case of the Dog Who Changed His Mind” (originally aired on Mutual on September 28, 1947). Philip Marlowe is on the trail of a dog - though this one is made out of jade - in “The Orange Dog” (originally aired on CBS on January 22, 1949). Barry Sullivan plays The Saint in “Dossier on a Doggone Dog,” a story of a lost dog and stolen jewels (originally aired on NBC on September 24, 1950), and Barrie Craig is hired to walk a dog, only to discover the dog's owner knocked unconscious in “Beware the Walking Dog” (originally aired on NBC on May 3, 1953).
