Financial expert and author Ric Edelman has stated that, in his opinion, anyone following Dave Ramsey's 8% retirement withdrawal strategy is…doomed! The 4% rule has been the distribution rates' gold standard for over 30 years. However, Suze Orman said that she wouldn't use the 4% rule on any level.  David touches upon what he considers a “massive unintended consequence” of adopting Suze Orman's 3% withdrawal rate in retirement. According to David, there isn't a winner between a 3%, a 4%, and an 8% retirement withdrawal strategy. He gives a couple of examples that illustrate why that's the case. David believes that, to get the best bang for your buck with the highest success rate over a 30-year retirement, a guaranteed lifetime income annuity is – almost always – the best way to go.   Mentioned in this episode: David's books: Power of Zero, Look Before You LIRP, The Volatility Shield, Tax-Free Income for Life and The Infinity Code DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free 3-part video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Dave Ramsey Suze Orman Ric Edelman

The Maldives, often dubbed as 'Paradise on Earth', is a breathtaking archipelago with over 2,000 islands and atolls, boasting a rich marine biodiversity. But did you know that by 2100, this paradise could be entirely submerged due to rising sea levels? To combat this imminent threat, the nation is innovating with the construction of a floating city, designed to rise with the sea, housing up to 20,000 residents. On another note, the global construction industry, responsible for nearly 40% of the world's carbon emissions, is undergoing a transformation. New laws and a growing demand for sustainability are driving the shift towards green building materials and practices. From bamboo and recycled steel to the whimsical cob-made homes reminiscent of hobbit abodes, the future of construction is not just eco-friendly but also economically efficient.Subscribe to podcast updates: https://form.jotform.com/223614751580152Ask Ric: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/ask-ricRic's Books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Ric-Edelman/author/B000APYJPM-----Links from today's show:Capturing Yields in a High-Rate Environment with Bond ETFs (Free Webinar - TOMORROW - Register HERE): https://dacfp.com/capturing-yields-in-a-high-rate-environment-with-bond-etfs/Global X Green Building ETF (Ticker = GRNR): https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/grnr/Follow Ric on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RicEdelmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ric_edelman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricedelman/X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/ricedelman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RicEdelmanBrought to you by:Global X ETFs: https://www.globalxetfs.com/Invesco QQQ: https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/home.htmlPrisidio: https://www.prisid.io/Schwab: https://www.schwab.com/Disclosure page: https://www.thetayf.com/pages/sponsorship-disclosure-fee-----

CNBC's Bob Pisani spoke with Ric Edelman, Founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACF) – along with Holly Framsted, Director of ETFs at Capital Group. With geopolitical turmoil shaking up the global markets, they discussed the broader macro backdrop for ETFs and broke down the market reaction thus far. They also got an update on active ETFs, which are seeing more than their fair share of inflows this year. Plus, the crypto bulls may have cheered the launch of several ether futures ETFs last week – but so far, those ETFs have seen lackluster flows. Could it be a sign of wavering interest in the crypto space? In the “Markets 102” portion, Bob continued the conversation with Ric Edelman from the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals. 

There is a lot of talk about how creativity and collaboration "should" be done these days. Some say processes are stifling. Others say you have to all be in the same office to collaborate effectively. Today's conversation will offer you a different take on how collaboration can actually lead to the most creative solutions on the planet.Today, I speak with Laetro co-founder and firmer Disney creative, Dave Zaboski! We talk about what Disney taught him about effective collaboration, including the idea of "plussing" to ensure the best outcome. He candidly shares how process and structure don't stifle creativity but ensure it's repeatable, and actually helps creatives get good work out into the world. We talk about the unique position we are in as humans to tell stories, the role mission plays in mobilizing a team, and how empathy is required by artists. Dave also gives his take on AI and creative technology and where the dangers and opportunities lie.To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.com Key Takeaways:Solutions can and should be beautiful. Beauty is created when you add to others, not when you are negative to them. Empathy in creativity allows bridges to be built and connections to be made between different experiences of different people. Storytelling is a power - stories create our reality. What would happen if we stop telling the apocalypse stories, and start to use the technology in the stories to enable society to flourish. There is process and structure, even in creativity. It is not a bad thing, it is a way to get replicable results no matter what industry you are in. Rules are necessary for creativity to flourish.
