If you're a creator, blogger, coach, or online entrepreneur, you've probably felt it already: AI has changed everything. The old playbook—creating an ebook, checklist, or guide filled with information—just isn't enough anymore. When someone can ask ChatGPT a question and get an answer in 30 seconds, why would they pay $27 for a static PDF? That's the uncomfortable truth most creators are avoiding. But here's the good news: this shift is actually opening the door to more income, not less. In my newest video, I break down the five products creators will rely on to make $10,000, $20,000, even $50,000 per month in 2026—and why these offers work because of AI, not in spite of it. Let's dig in. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan 2026 Product Selector AI Prompt Goldmine Product AI Prompt Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Big Shift: Information Is Free — You Are the Product AI can generate content. AI can summarize ideas. AI can outline frameworks. What AI can't do? Look at someone's specific situation Give personalized guidance Create accountability Build community Deliver transformation That's why the creators winning in 2026 aren't selling information. They're selling access, guidance, experience, and connection. And AI? It becomes your accelerator—helping you create faster while you deliver the value. The 5 Products Dominating Creator Income in 2026 1. One-on-One Coaching Coaching is the fastest path to cash for creators right now. Why? Because people don't want generic advice—they want someone to look at their situation and tell them exactly what to do. One productivity coach charging $300 per session and booking just 12 sessions a month is already making $3,600/month. No ads. No massive audience. Just expertise and trust. You don't need a complicated setup either: Payments A scheduling link Zoom That's it. 2. Live Workshops Workshops let you scale your time without losing the human element. One MiloTree customer ran a 90-minute live workshop for $97. 45 people showed up. That's $4,365 in under two hours. Same expertise as coaching—just delivered to more people at once. Plus, live workshops create urgency and energy that pre-recorded content never can. 3. Mini Courses with Live Q&A This is where things get really smart. Creators are taking workshops they already ran and turning them into: Short, focused mini courses Broken into simple modules Paired with weekly live Q&A calls One nutrition coach sold 38 copies at $147—over $5,500 from content she had already created. Evergreen content + live access = the best of both worlds. 4. Group Coaching Programs Group coaching hits the sweet spot between leverage and connection. Think: A defined outcome A clear timeline (8–12 weeks) Weekly group calls A private community One business coach runs a 12-week program at $497 and enrolls 18 people at a time—nearly $9,000 per cohort, twice a year. Same expertise. Same calls. Way more impact. 5. Memberships (The Real Long-Term Play) If you want predictable, recurring revenue, memberships are where creators are building real wealth. One creator helping Etsy sellers launched a $67/month membership and grew it to 227 members—over $15,000/month recurring. Why memberships work so well: Community is the value Members support each other You're the guide, not the bottleneck Income stacks month after month AI can give advice. It can't create belonging. Why MiloTree Is Built for This New Era Here's the part most creators don't realize: you don't need five different tools to sell these products. With MiloTree, you can sell: Coaching sessions Workshops Mini courses with live calls Group programs Memberships Digital downloads All in one place. No Kajabi. No Teachable. No ThriveCart. No bloated platforms that take hours (or weeks) to figure out. MiloTree handles: Payments Digital delivery Scheduling AI-generated sales pages And yes—you can start for free, no credit card required, to test which product your audience actually wants. Not Sure Which Product to Start With? I Made This for You To make this even easier, I created a free AI prompt called: The 2026 Product Selector AI Prompt You tell it: Your niche Your expertise Your audience size How much time you have And it tells you: Which of the five products to launch first Why it fits your situation Five clear action steps to get moving immediately No overthinking. No endless planning. Just momentum.

Gene Louise De Vera's 5th NYTimes puzzle was one for the books. One of the sacrosanct rules of NYTimes crossword-dom is that an answer never appears twice in the grid. Well, rules are meant to be broken, so they say, and today this one was -- but all for a good cause, aka the theme. We had some other great clues in the grid. Besides those mentioned in the podcast, we had the slick 94D, Paired chips with dips?, RHYMED; the fabulous 84D, Ixnays from Irkutsk, NYETS; and a favorite of whatever generation came to the fore in the 2010s, 54D, "Not gonna lie ...", NOCAP.Show note imagery: The roundest country in the world, SIERRALEONE!We love feedback!

A knee shattered in World War I. The same knee hit again in World War II. Archibald Roosevelt's story isn't about chasing glory; it's about answering the call when every excuse would be understandable. We trace that rare resolve to a deeper root—faith, duty, and a willingness to serve when comfort urges retreat.We walk through the Roosevelt brothers' grit, then pivot to a different kind of strength found in scripture. Paul's teaching on marriage reframes love as mutual devotion, not contract math. Jesus' words in Matthew 6–7 tackle worry, judgment, and the daily practice of the Golden Rule: seek the kingdom first, trust God for needs, clear your own vision before you try to clear anyone else's. Paired with Psalm 8's awe and Proverbs 2's promise of wisdom and integrity, the path becomes clear even if it stays narrow.History widens the lens again with FDR's 1941 Day of Prayer—a national moment of confession, consecration, and courage in the face of war. We connect that call to today's cultural pressures and the ideologies that erode freedom by promising shortcuts. Along the way, we spotlight Corporal Samuel Bowden's Medal of Honor citation, a reminder that countless acts of bravery shaped the ground we stand on.If you're hungry for a conversation that blends hard history with lived faith and practical takeaways for marriage, worry, and daily character, you're in the right place.

ModernMillions.ai is more than a book—it's a behind-the-scenes blueprint for how real entrepreneurs are using artificial intelligence to win today. In this special episode, R. Kenner French pulls back the curtain on the years-long journey of writing his latest book and explains why AI is no longer optional for business owners who want to stay competitive. The book was built from lived experience, not theory, shaped by working hands-on with over 2,000 entrepreneurs across real estate, law, medicine, and service-based businesses through VastSolutionsGroup.com.At its core, ModernMillions.ai answers three questions every entrepreneur is asking right now: How do you make more money, how do you keep more of it, and how do you protect what you've built—using AI? Kenner explains how artificial intelligence can help businesses grow from six figures to multiple six or seven figures by improving decision-making, operational efficiency, marketing, and strategy. This isn't hype—it's practical, real-world AI deployment designed for business owners who want results.The book also dives deeply into saving millions through smarter tax strategies powered by AI. Instead of spending years learning complex tax law, entrepreneurs can now leverage artificial intelligence to identify deductions, optimize structures, and reduce tax liability faster and more efficiently than ever before. Kenner emphasizes that AI doesn't replace professionals—but it empowers entrepreneurs to ask better questions, move faster, and make smarter financial decisions.Beyond growth and tax savings, ModernMillions.ai tackles a topic many business owners overlook until it's too late: asset protection and estate planning. Kenner explains how AI can assist in drafting strategies, organizing structures, and building a protective “moat” around wealth—helping entrepreneurs safeguard what they've worked so hard to create. From asset protection frameworks to estate planning efficiency, AI becomes a force multiplier for long-term security.What truly sets this book apart is that it's designed as a living, evolving resource. Paired with the continuously updated ModernMillions.ai website, readers gain ongoing access to new AI tools, strategies, and resources as technology rapidly evolves. Kenner invites honest feedback, reviews, and even critiques—because the book is meant to grow alongside the AI landscape. For entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners, and even W-2 professionals considering a leap, ModernMillions.ai offers a clear message: use artificial intelligence to build, protect, and scale—or risk being left behind.Takeaways• The book Modern Millions.ai is aimed at entrepreneurs looking to leverage AI.• AI can help businesses increase revenue and save on taxes.• Continuous updates to the book and website will provide ongoing resources.• Kenner emphasizes the importance of honest feedback on the book.• AI can assist in asset protection strategies.• The book is a culmination of years of effort and learning.• Kenner encourages readers to share the book with others.• AI is not just a trend; it's essential for modern business.• The writing process involved both AI and personal creativity.• Kenner has credibility as a FinTech writer and author.Sound Bites• I want some honest feedback.• It's been a labor of love.• My flavor is put into the book.Listen & Subscribe for More:

Sunday Morning Message - "Preparing for a New Season"In this message from December 28, Executive Pastor Ben Boyd brings a powerful message centered on Jesus' authority to rescue, restore, and renew. Teaching from Luke 8:26–39, we'll see how Jesus confronts bondage, brings freedom to the broken, and transforms a life once marked by darkness into a testimony of grace. Paired with Ephesians 2 and Colossians 1, the message reminds us that we were once far from God but are now made alive and reconciled through Christ. As the restored man is sent to tell what Jesus has done, we are challenged to live as living testimonies of His power. This message calls us to trust God for renewed strength, patient growth, and a fruitful life that reflects His transforming work.

What does it mean to “own” anything if a missed tax bill can cost you your home? We take a hard look at property taxes, why they function like rent to the state, and how tying schools and services to levies on a few erodes trust across an entire community. Then we sketch a clearer, fairer path: transparent consumption-based taxes that spread the cost of roads, classrooms, and public safety while protecting the sanctity of the home and giving everyone real skin in the game.From there, we turn to the heart: 1 Peter 3 calls husbands and wives to honor, humility, and a quiet strength that sustains families through stormy seasons. Matthew 5 pushes us toward integrity and mercy—letting yes be yes, rooting out lust at the source, offering the other cheek, and loving those who stand against us. Paired with Psalm 6's plea from the weary and Proverbs' warning against complacency, these readings remind us that courage and clarity begin inside the home and overflow into public life.We also honor Captain Thomas Bourne of the USS Varuna, who held his position under brutal fire and ramming—an example of steadiness that anchors our civic imagination. And we revisit Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1940 Christmas message, a call to voluntary progress and an “unquenchable spring of promise” that endures through fear and conflict. Threaded together, faith and policy point to a simple test: does our system respect neighbors equally, protect what families build, and invite willing, informed contribution?If this conversation resonates, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review to help others find it.

THE OLD MAN & THE GUN (2018) feels less like a typical crime movie and more like a gentle farewell  not just to a character, but to an entire Hollywood era. Directed by David Lowery, the film stars Robert Redford as Forrest Tucker, a lifelong bank robber whose crimes are defined not by violence, but by charm, politeness, and an irresistible love of the game.   As the final entry in our Robert Redford Arc, this episode explores why THE OLD MAN & THE GUN works as a perfect swan song. The film distills everything that made Redford an icon: effortless charisma, moral ambiguity, romanticism without sentimentality, and a deep understanding of aging, obsession, and identity. What emerges is a crime story with almost no tension  and yet carries enormous emotional weight.   Lowery shoots the film on Super 16mm, giving it the texture and warmth of a 1970s classic, while Redford delivers one of his most restrained and expressive performances. Paired with a beautifully understated turn from Sissy Spacek, and supported by a stacked cast that includes Casey Affleck, Danny Glover, and Tom Waits, the film becomes a meditation on what it means to keep doing the thing you love even when the world tells you it's time to stop.   Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/FOURPLAY and use code FOURPLAY and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! Turn your expensive wireless present into a huge wireless savings future by switching to Mint.

This third week of Advent centers on joy, and Dean turns our attention to one of Scripture's most joyful moments – Mary and Elizabeth's meeting in Luke 1:39-45, where even the child in Elizabeth's womb leaps at the nearness of Christ. Paired with Paul's exhortation in Philippians 4:4-7 to “rejoice in the Lord always,” we're reminded that joy is not dependent on circumstances but anchored in God's presence. Advent joy is a shared joy; when we rejoice together, that joy multiplies. As we await Christ's coming, we celebrate that God is near, God is faithful, and God is at work among His people.

Today we're tackling two listener questions about being solo polyamorous and wanting a more entangled or anchored relationships, either with existing partners or while seeking such a relationship.

Gabriel Mascaro's filmography embraces narrative perspectives that we rarely see on screen. His 2019 film Divine Love is a neon soaked dance experience that amplifies love and unity against a backdrop of bureaucracy, while his 2015 film Neon Bull invites us into a world of rodeos, horse dancing, and flights of fantasy, and in the process, Gabriel invites us to consider the world anew.That approach to narrative storytelling continues with his latest, and in my view best, film, The Blue Trail.On paper, The Blue Trail sounds oppressive, dystopian, and bleak, as it tells the story of a Brazil which seeks to embrace economic recovery by creating a system where senior citizens over 80 are deported to a 'colony'. We're never shown the colony, nor what occurs to the citizens when they reach there, but we don't need to see it either, given the way that elderly citizens are transported in prison like vehicles - a small van with a cage like apparatus on the back - called wrinkle wagons, forcing the elderly into this colony existence.Yet, what Gabriel Mascaro presents is instead a film that is quite beautiful and tender, reminding audiences that while the elderly may be old, it does not mean that they don't have any more life left to live. Our hero of the story is Tereza, conjured into superb existence with one of the best performances of the year by Denise Weinberg, a 77 year old woman who finds herself scooped up in the unexpected age reduction of the colony residents which now includes her age group. Instead of embracing her fate, Tereza defiantly says that she has a life left to live, and embarks on ticking off some of the things she has never achieved, one such activity being that of flying.So, thwarting authorities and making friends with the underworld, Tereza sets off on the Amazon, heading down river to find a place that will help her achieve her goal of flying, and maybe a little bit more along the way.The Blue Trail is a lovely ode to living a full life in your older years. Gabriel Mascaro's direction is a supportive and nurturing one, easing the viewer out of any form of tension and inviting an embrace of comfort and tenderness instead. That direction is wonderfully supported by the stunning cinematography from Guillermo Garza whose lens captures the nature of the Amazon with care, and brings a life to the almost desolate riverside shacks that Tereza makes her way in and out of. Paired with this is the soaring score from Memo Guerra, a composition that pulses with techno like sensibility paired with an almost orchestral vibe at times. It's unique, yet wholly appropriate to the film itself.The Blue Trail stands apart from similar films which might have embraced the tone of a thriller or increased the tension by putting Tereza into precarious situations that she can't get herself out of. It's then a relief to experience The Blue Trail and see that Tereza is a fully rounded person, she might be older than her counterparts on screen, but she's competent and knows how to handle herself. Gabriel clearly cares for her, and in the process of that, he knows that by showing her support and tenderness, he's also inviting audiences to reconsider our relationships with elderly folks.That's one of the discussion points, amongst many, that Gabriel talks on in the following interview, recorded ahead of The Blue Trail's screenings at Perth Festival.

Harnessing the Hypomanic Advantage: Leadership Insights from Todd HagopianIn this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with Todd Hagopian, Executive Director of the Stagnation Intelligence Agency and author of The Unfair Advantage: Weaponizing the Hypomanic Toolbox. Todd shares his remarkable journey—from spending 15 years undiagnosed with bipolar disorder to engineering a systematic way to harness the productive power of hypomania without the chaos. This conversation explores how neurodiverse traits can be transformed into high-performance leadership tools, offering powerful strategies for productivity, innovation, prioritization, and sustainable success.How Neurodiverse Leadership Becomes a Strategic SuperpowerTodd Hagopian explains how the high energy, creativity, and intensity associated with hypomania can be intentionally structured into repeatable systems. Instead of treating hypomanic tendencies as weaknesses, he shows how leaders can channel them into strengths through tools such as grandiose goal-setting, which pushes individuals and teams to stretch beyond conventional limits. He emphasizes that ambition—when properly focused—creates momentum, inspires others, and unlocks levels of performance that incremental planning simply cannot achieve.Another major insight Todd shares is the 80/20 Matrix, a ruthless prioritization method that identifies the 4% of activities generating 64% of results. By doubling down on the most profitable customer-product combinations and eliminating or outsourcing low-value work, leaders remove complexity—the biggest enemy of profitability. This same philosophy underpins the Carolyn Method, where results are amplified not through more activity, but through sharper focus on the vital few actions that truly move the needle.Todd also discusses orthodoxy smashing, the practice of systematically challenging industry assumptions to uncover breakthrough opportunities. Paired with essential personal practices such as sleep discipline, medication management (when relevant), and eliminating alcohol, Todd shows that sustainable leadership requires both innovation and self-care. His message is clear: anyone—neurodiverse or not—can apply these systems to multiply productivity, improve decision-making, and build resilient success.About Todd HagopianTodd Hagopian is the Executive Director of the Stagnation Intelligence Agency, a leadership strategist, and the author of The Unfair Advantage: Weaponizing the Hypomanic Toolbox.

It's that special time of year where we try to rack our brains for a fun holiday special! This movie proved to be lackluster, but it's Christmas-y!

You can always we tell we're not fans when we try to talk about anything but the movie. Paired with a P2 cocktail. Rate! Review! Follow!

Former Marine and general contractor Andrew Kavanaugh joins the crew to share the origin story of Black Root Recovery, a company he founded after watching too many of his fellow Marines struggle physically, mentally, and emotionally after returning home. What started as a personal quest to rebuild his health led to a 90-pound weight loss, the elimination of sleep apnea and nightmares, and a profound shift in cognitive clarity and emotional resilience. Andrew combined the modalities that changed his own life (grounding, infrared therapy, red-light therapy, and traditional sauna heat) into a single premium, custom-built recovery system designed to reduce inflammation, support brain health, and help veterans and high performers reclaim their capability. Andrew breaks down the science and practical application behind each component of the system, including his patented grounding design that connects the user directly to an eight-foot copper ground rod to immediately reduce blood viscosity and "electrical noise" in the body. Paired with deep-penetrating red light panels, infrared heat, and a high-output traditional sauna, his units create a stacked recovery environment that improves circulation, reduces inflammation, accelerates healing, and enhances cognitive performance. Andrew shares how, after three months of daily use, he saw his social anxiety disappear, his brain function sharpen, and his jiu-jitsu endurance skyrocket. The conversation expands into the broader mission: supporting veterans, giving athletes a competitive performance advantage, and scaling access to recovery tools that have historically been too expensive or too fragmented to deliver real transformation. Andrew discusses future plans to build custom installations for gyms and sports teams, and continue refining the multimodal system. Whether the goal is longevity, recovery, or helping those who have served, this episode reveals why integrated recovery environments may become the next frontier in reducing inflammation, healing trauma, and elevating human potential.

In this fourth episode of the Peace series, we explore the deeply cleansing and restorative Ksepana Mudra—a hand gesture traditionally used to release heaviness, emotional residue, and mental clutter. This practice invites you to gently let go of what you've been holding, especially the stress and tension that tend to accumulate during busy seasons or at the close of the year. With your hands shaped in Ksepana Mudra, fingers interlaced and index fingers extended, you'll be guided to imagine old energy flowing out and fresh clarity flowing in. Paired with slow, steady breathing, this mudra helps clear the mind, lighten the spirit, and create spaciousness where peace can naturally rise. This episode is a quiet reminder that release is a form of renewal. As you soften into the mudra, you may feel a subtle shift—from weight to openness, from overwhelm to ease, from holding on to letting go. Ksepana Mudra offers you a pathway back to inner peace, one soft exhale and one gentle release at a time. This is a replay of a series I recorded a few years ago! ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES As the year winds down and the world grows louder with commitments, celebrations, and expectations, this series invites you to do something rare and powerful: slow down.

Whether you are reflecting on the year behind you or setting intentions for the year ahead, these moments of stillness are here to steady your breath, clear your mind, and reconnect you with your inner peace.

Today we have Yeimy. She's 30 years old, from Rhode Island and took her last drink of alcohol on January 19th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by:   Café RE – the social app for sober people Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored   January 1st, 2026 is the official release date for Paul's new book Dolce Vita and he'd love to have you on the launch team. Email info@recoveryelevator.com to join.   Registration for Recovery Elevator's Dry January course Restore is open. We are meeting 13 times live in the month of January to give you the best chance of ditching the booze.   [03:30] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us a concept that he still struggles with but has made progress. It is embracing the world of duality that we live in. Of course, we would all want to be happy all of the time, but living in the world of dualities, we have to have opposites for defining purposes.     Do your best to embrace it all. Square your shoulders to this thing called life and don't get attached to any of it.  When you have a good day, be grateful. When you have a shit day, be grateful, knowing that you need them both equally.   [06:33] Paul introduces Yeimy:   Yeimy is 30 years old and works as a phlebotomist. Yeimy says she is still figuring out what she likes to do for fun but says she enjoys spending time with family and trying new things as in food or places.    Yeimy says she was born into alcoholism as both of her parents were heavy drinkers. She doesn't specifically remember her first drink but was allowed to drink as a teenager when on vacation in the Dominican Republic.   In her early 20s, Yeimy worked in a bar and was able to drink on the job. Paired with other substances, Yeimy says her drinking became limitless.  After COVID happened, she started drinking alone at home. Occasionally Yeimy would question how much she was drinking, but when she mentioned it to friends, they would reassure her that it was fine, and she was just having fun.   Over this time, Yeimy said she had a few small rock bottoms including a two-week hospitalization, crashing her car and waking up in strange places from time to time. She didn't take the hint that she should stop the drinking and substance abuse and was determined to continue until something worse forced her to stop.   In 2022, Yeimy went to rehab. She says she wasn't ready but due to the concern of a friend, she went for 30 days and was able to stay sober for another 30 days but became overwhelmed when she went right back into her life with the same people and places.   Yeimy attempted to moderate from time to time to try and avoid losing jobs and relationships like she had in the past. In 2024 while in the early days of her relationship with a non-drinker, Yeimy says she felt like her drinking was under a microscope. She would try to hide her drinking but that became exhausting. December 2024 found Yeimy having a lot of moments and mishaps that led her to realize she couldn't do this anymore.   Yeimy began to go to AA meetings again but was still drinking. Her last rock bottom was when she fell asleep on the job the day after a blackout at a party. She was embarrassed and finally admitted to her boyfriend that she had a problem, and he said he would support her and she was relieved to have finally told him.   Whenever Yeimy felt the urge to drink, she attended meetings or listened to podcasts, staying focused on recovery for her first two months. With family support, she grew confident in her progress; she now works through AA steps with a sponsor. Physically, Yeimy feels strong, and mentally she is more focused and decisive. Journaling, meetings, and connecting with sober people help her stay on track. She can now spend time around her drinking family, though she limits those interactions.   Yeimy's parting piece of guidance: if you think you have a problem, you most likely do.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.

Send us a textRestlessness in your forties and fifties isn't a crisis—it's a portal. We chatted with Human Design guide Lori Lisai, who helps people turn uncertainty into body-based clarity, exploring gates, channels, profiles, and the timing that makes decisions feel clean instead of rushed. We unpack the identity center: if your G is undefined, you may shape-shift based on who you're with. That isn't fake—it's intelligent energy. The key is choosing environments where you love who you are. From there, we dive into authority. Emotional authority asks for time; sacral and splenic move faster. Self-projected and mental rely on voice and environment. Reflectors ride lunar cycles. Whatever your type, honoring your tempo turns noise into signal.Finally, we reframe the Uranus opposition. Culture calls it a midlife crisis; Lori calls it a checkpoint. Paired with Human Design, it becomes grounded practice. For many women in and after menopause, this becomes a spiritual redesign—less about boxes, and more about truth.If you're craving permission to change your mind, focus your energy, and choose a path that actually fits, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.  If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more people find us.To learn more about Lori or to work with her:Visit: www.lorilisai.com/workwithloriClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

In this episode we answer emails from Patrick, Kyle, and Dave.  We discuss the advantages of using risk parity style portfolios for higher withdrawal rates, how to manage a sleeve of individual REITs, the joys of giving in its various forms, a risk parity style portfolio in a Donor Advised Fund, and reverse glide paths.  We share how planned generosity, donor-advised funds, and employer matches can make retirement more meaningful.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterKitces & Carl podcast about "Frugal Bob":  Helping Retired Clients To Actually Start Spending And Enjoying Their Money - Kitces & Carl Ep 178Bigger Pockets Money Test Risk Parity Style Portfolio:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)Choose FI Podcast #574:  Top Five Regrets of the Dying (Book Club with Frank Vasquez and Ginger) | Ep 574Kitces Reverse Glidepath Article:  The Benefits Of A Rising Equity Glidepath In RetirementBreathless AI-Bot Summary:Most retirees don't fail because they spend too much; they struggle because their portfolios weren't built for withdrawals. We unpack how risk parity, smarter rebalancing, and a reverse glide path can protect early-retirement years while keeping growth on the table. Along the way, we share listener stories that show what happens when a 100% stock believer embraces diversification and discovers the joy of giving—through donor-advised funds, employer matches, and a simple plan to distribute one percent or more each year.We start with a real allocation shift: blending large growth, small value, long Treasuries, gold, managed futures, and a small sleeve of REITs to reduce sequence risk. Then we get tactical. For individual REIT holdings, we treat the sleeve as one allocation and only rebalance when the sleeve moves versus the rest of the portfolio. Inside the sleeve, focus on outliers—trim oversized winners, reassess laggards with deteriorating stories—and keep transactions light to minimize taxes and churn.The heart of the episode explores how generosity reshapes retirement planning. Using a donor-advised fund to “stress test” withdrawals at high rates teaches mechanics and builds confidence, while employer matching turns donations into leveraged impact. We talk practical tools—automating gifts, donating appreciated shares, setting “use-by” dates on giving accounts—and nontraditional forms of giving that create work, support local businesses, and deepen relationships.We close by breaking down the reverse glide path championed by Michael Kitces and echoed by Bill Bengen: start retirement with lower equity exposure and increase it over time. Our working template moves from the low 40% equity range toward 60–70% as years pass—an evidence-informed band that historically supports higher safe withdrawal rates and tamps down sequence risk. Paired with risk parity diversification and a deliberate giving plan, it's a path that funds a life you actually want to live.Support the show

We've discussed some wild movies during our tenure as horror podcast hosts, but 1981's Possession takes the cake. This movie is unlike anything we've ever seen, and we could barely string a coherent plot out of it. Having said that, we could not look away from this movie and all the wtf moments in it. We confidently say this movie isn't for everyone, but everyone should watch it--even if it is to take a selfie toward the end to see what face you make when the climax hits.
