In this month's Smart Planning segment, a financial advisor discusses when it might make sense to scale back your 401(k) contributions. Is it safe to invest right now? Should you keep contributing to your retirement account when the economy feels uncertain? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss how to navigate turbulent financial times by focusing on long-term investing strategies and what you can control. They break down what's going on with recent stock market activity, why the dollar is weakening, and how investors can stay the course by understanding their risk tolerance and using tools like dollar-cost averaging. They also touch on emotional investing and offer practical ways to handle market anxiety without pulling back on your financial goals. Then, Elizabeth welcomes Ross Anderson, founder of Craftwork Capital and co-host of the Check Your Balances podcast, to answer a listener's question about whether to reduce 401(k) contributions due to fears about job security. They discuss how to evaluate whether you're holding too much cash, the trade-offs between contributing to retirement versus living for today, and how the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement can work even if you start later in life. They also cover the impact of retiring abroad, how international taxes can complicate your strategy, and why certain insurance products might not match your goals.

Nick welcomes Ross Anderson, founder of Beyond Baseline, to discuss the critical importance of personal health, wellness, and mindset in achieving extraordinary success in both business and life. Ross shares his inspiring journey from a troubled youth in Scotland, marked by challenges such as panic disorder and substance abuse, to becoming a sought-after speaker and expert in neuroscience and positive psychology. The conversation delves into the significance of understanding one's strengths, the necessity of taking strategic pauses, and the value of community and connection. KEY TAKEAWAYS One must always be working on oneself, including health, mindset, and personal growth, as foundational elements for achieving success in business and life. To enhance happiness and fulfilment, individuals should seek experiences that incorporate challenge, connection, and novelty. These elements contribute to memorable and transformative moments in life. Regular blood work is crucial for understanding one's health and optimising performance. Identifying biological red flags can help address issues like hormonal imbalances and inflammation, which can impact overall well-being and productivity. Taking intentional breaks, whether daily or periodically, is essential for mental clarity and stress management. These pauses allow individuals to recharge and reflect, ultimately improving their capacity to handle challenges. Building resilience groups and fostering connections with others can significantly enhance personal growth. Engaging with a supportive community helps individuals navigate challenges and promotes a sense of belonging and accountability. BEST MOMENTS "A man or a woman without a strong sense of meaning or purpose will fall victim to indulgences, vices, and other self-sabotaging ways." "If you don't have a vision for your life, you're going to end up somewhere. And when you get there, you may not recognise it because you didn't plan to be there in the first place." "Humans have all these deep-rooted psychological needs. They need to feel, defend, protect, acquire assets, and self-actualise." "If you can invest a couple of days in yourself as an entrepreneur for your own betterment, biologically, psychologically, spiritually, financially, it’s a nice shift."

When Mormon missionaries come knocking on your door, what will you say? In this week's episode, we ask 7th generation Mormon, now Christian, Dr. Corey Miller, that question and many others. Corey currently serves as President and CEO of the Ratio Christi college campus ministry and joins Frank to discuss his new book, 'Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message'. Being raised as Mormons themselves, Corey and co-author Ross Anderson are familiar with the core doctrines of the Mormon faith and are using this book to help Christians learn how to strategically engage the Mormon community. In this podcast, Corey and Frank discuss questions like: What is the psychology of Mormonism? What are some of the key differences between Christianity and Mormonism? How and why did Corey convert from Mormonism to Christianity? What is Ratio Christi's mission and strategy for reaching high schoolers, college students, and professors? How can Christians help support Ratio Christi? In the words of Joseph Stalin, "Ideas are more powerful than guns." Ratio Christi, which translates to "Reason for Christ", is actively training young people and educators how to discern between right and wrong ideas through its model of thoughtful Christianity. Using both the heart and the mind has proved to transform the lives of students on campus, with the future hope of transforming the culture of tomorrow and reclaiming the intellectual voice of Christ in universities across the country.
