One in every five American adults is a customer. The company generates more than $32 billion in annual revenue. And the $17 trillion in customer accounts and investment funds it manages exceeds the combined gross domestic products of Germany, Japan, and India. Yet despite Fidelity Investments' enormous influence, relatively little has been known about the singular family behind the Boston-based multinational financial services giant. In his new book, House of Fidelity, Justin Baer, deputy markets editor with The Wall Street Journal, reveals the dramatic three-generation saga of the fiercely private Johnson family and how they helped transform American investing. This week, Baer shares the behind-the-scenes story of Fidelity's success and the universal lessons Fidelity's rise offers in leadership, marketing, innovation, and succession planning. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Send us feedback or episode suggestions.Software teams are operating in an environment where the job description changes every two months. As agentic AI moves from novelty to real engineering capability, the assumptions that have held enterprise software together — long SaaS contracts, stable teams, predictable agile rhythms — are starting to bend. In this episode of Patterns, Chris Strahl talks with engineering leader Alex Wilson about what it actually takes to bring AI into a large, regulated organization, and how the math behind building, buying, and structuring teams is shifting underneath everyone at once.Drawing on his work leading the design system at T. Rowe Price and driving AI activation across the firm, Alex explains how agentic capabilities are reshaping build-vs-buy, the shape of teams, and how engineering leaders need to show up. The conversation moves from the cultural pressure to be "AI-native" to the practical questions of modular architecture, smaller delivery pods, and why the best leaders are now building alongside their teams.We'll explore:Why "build vs. buy" looks different when agents can build and maintain internal tools, and how that's pushing companies to shorten SaaS contracts and treat vendor software as a stop-gapHow teams are shifting from large pods running classic agile toward smaller groups of "big gear" and "small clockwork" builders with compressed spike-to-ship cyclesWhy modular, replaceable architecture is becoming a strategic requirement as SaaS feels less permanent and internal builds become more viableHow engineering leaders set the tone by adopting AI tools themselves — treating personal experimentation as a path back into the company's roadmapCheck out our upcoming events.If you want to get in touch with the show, ask some questions, or tell us what you think, send us a message over on LinkedIn.GuestAlex Wilson is an engineering leader focused on design systems and AI-enabled product development.

Michael Davis, is Head of Global Retirement Strategy at T. Rowe Price and former Deputy Assistant Secretary at the U.S. Department of Labor (2009–2012), and will be retiring in May of 2026. He has had a long career in finance interspersed with spells of public service, including in particular a role as Assistant Secretary in the US Department of Labor, from 2009 to 2012. He has a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard and remains committed to the study of global leadership as well as the promotion of opportunity.Our conversation starts with Michael's non-traditional path into finance, and his upbringing in the south. We learn what drew him to finance, and the strong underpinning of service that is a thread throughout. Michael explains how translating between different worlds shaped his leadership philosophy of dignity, integrity, and learning from ethical leaders and presidential biographies, citing Truman's view that certainty never fully arrives. He outlines T. Rowe Price's differentiated retirement platform- $1.8T managed with about two-thirds retirement-related, active target-date leadership, record-keeping for 2.5M participants, and 1.1M individual investors- and the value of combining stakeholder signals. His core beliefs include integrity, transparency, simple communication, diversification, and a balanced view of active and passive. Looking ahead, he highlights the unresolved challenge of decumulation and delivering trusted advice at scale, arguing defaults beat financial literacy alone, and emphasizing that asset managers ultimately “sell trust.”This podcast is kindly sponsored by Benefit Street Partners and PIMCO.

Too many funds and stocks in a portfolio can create clutter and make rebalancing time-consuming. Allocation funds such as balanced funds can make it easier to stay diversified and invested during market volatility. That's because these funds automatically rebalance, moderating big gains and losses. And the funds can provide exposure to more than one security type and market. Russ Kinnel, senior principal of ratings for Morningstar and editor of Morningstar FundInvestor newsletter, discusses his list of the best balanced and allocation funds.

Are My Retirement Savings on Track? Episode 370 – It's an age-old question that seems like everybody asks: am I saving enough for retirement? It's never going to yield an easy answer. There are so many variables: age, future savings rates, rate of return, lifestyle, etc. Where do you even begin? Fortunately, there are benchmarks available at every age that can give you a sense of whether you're on track. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 370 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: are my retirement savings on track? It's an age-old question. Am I saving enough for retirement? There's never going to be an easy answer, especially if you're young. There are so many variables: age, future savings rates, rate of return, lifestyle, taxes, etc. Where do you even begin? There are plenty of opinions to be found. Global asset management giant T. Rowe Price has done some notable research on this topic. They've published a series of benchmarks at every age that can give you a sense of where you stand as of today. The benchmarks are based on current income. For example, if you're 30 years old, they suggest that your total savings should be one half of your annual income or more. They suggest 100 percent of your income if you're age 35, twice your income at age 40, three times at age 45, and five times at age 50. The multiplier goes to seven times at age 55, nine times at age 60, and eleven times at age 65.[1] Note that these figures include contributions, both by you and your employer, to a workplace retirement plan such as a 401(k). As you can probably tell, these are just ballpark estimates. To come up with these estimates, they assume that your household income goes up by five percent per year until age 45, and three percent thereafter. They assume an inflation rate of three percent. They also assume a seven percent return before taxes, and that everyone retires at age 65. Upon retirement, the assumed withdrawal rate is four percent. As with anything else, the individual situation you're in will vary over time, so it's safe to say that these benchmarks have their limitations. Also, they assume you're relying only on personal savings and Social Security for retirement income. If you have other sources, such as a pension, your personal benchmark might be lower. Also, remember that Social Security benefits—assuming they'll still be there for younger Americans—are progressive in nature. That is, for Americans with higher earnings, Social Security benefits will represent a smaller percentage of their retirement income. So, in most cases, people with higher earnings will have to rely more heavily on personal savings to meet their retirement needs. How can you meet these suggested goals? T. Rowe Price says that, as a general rule, most people should probably save at least 15 percent of their income if they wish to keep up with the benchmarks, more than that if you've already fallen behind.[2] So, what do you do if you're below the benchmark? With discipline, some people can start increasing their savings rate right away, and that would be the ideal solution. But it's very difficult for most people. You might be able to make your increased savings rate automatic, simply by having your employer increase the contribution rate that is withheld from your paycheck. In other words, pay yourself first! Either way, if your employer has a 401(k) with an employer match, make sure you at least take full advantage of it if you're not already doing so. If you're getting on in years and you don't have enough in savings, one alternative might be to slowly transition into retirement with part-time employment. It's not ideal. After all, you'll be fully retiring later than you would prefer, but it could make a significant difference, including the possibility of health insurance benefits which can be costly in retirement. One final question. Is it possible to save too much for retirement? We talked about this back in episode 296. The answer is yes. As important as it is to save as much money as you can as early as possible, you have to balance that against your current lifestyle. If you're younger, you could easily overextend yourself if you fully fund your 401(k). This could result in maxing out your credit cards to meet your monthly expenses.[3] That could end up costing you more than the savings are worth. It's also important to understand the role of taxes. Just remember that withdrawals from a traditional IRA or 401(k) are 100 percent taxable. Once you get into your seventies, you may be subject to Required Minimum Distributions or RMDs. This means that you have to withdraw money from your IRA or 401(k) and pay tax on it, whether you need the money for your expenses or not. Also, many experts believe that future tax brackets will eventually be higher than they are today. If that does in fact happen, it could minimize the advantages of a 401(k) or IRA, because you were in a lower bracket when you took the deduction than you were when you had to pay the tax. This would minimize whatever advantage you might have had. [1]T.

My guest today is Henry Ellenbogen, founder and Managing Partner of Durable Capital Partners. Henry built his reputation at T. Rowe Price, where he led the New Horizons Fund and turned it into one of the best-performing small-cap growth portfolios in the country. In 2019, he left to start Durable. His philosophy is grounded in a simple belief that great investing is about understanding people and change. Henry has spent his career studying the rare 1% of companies that drive nearly all long-term returns . Durable's edge comes from being able to tell the difference between a company that is failing and one that is transforming. Henry often talks about “Act II” teams – founders who take the lessons from their first company and apply them to a new frontier. Durable itself is his Act II. In our latest Colossus profile, Managing Editor Dom Cooke traces Henry's story and specifically how he became one of the most influential investors of the 21st century, having learned from founders like Jeff Bezos and John Malone in the early part of his career. I always hear the same thing from founders who've met Henry: “he understood my business faster than anyone”. The thing that sticks with me from our conversation and Dom's profile is just how much he loves investing.

Some episodes help you protect your money. Some help you protect everything your money makes possible. This episode does both. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome fire safety expert Steve Kerber from UL's Fire Safety Research Institutes, who delivers simple, practical, "do this today" steps that dramatically increase your home's safety. From upgrading outdated smoke alarms to understanding lithium-ion battery risks to spotting hidden hazards most people walk past every single day, Steve gives everyday Stackers the tools to keep their homes and families safer. This isn't scare tactics. It's straightforward guidance from someone who's spent his career studying what actually prevents fires and saves lives. Then the show shifts gears for the headline segment. Joe and OG unpack T. Rowe Price's latest Global Retirement Survey to explore what savers around the world are most anxious about right now. How are people adapting to inflation? Are retirement expectations shifting across different countries? What can you learn from how others are handling the same fears you probably have? The data reveals patterns that might surprise you and insights you can actually use to build more confidence in your own retirement planning. Between these two segments, you'll get Doug's trivia throwdown, a TikTok detour through airport lounge mythology, and a few classic basement moments that remind you why this show mixes serious topics with serious fun. It's a wide-ranging episode packed with actionable takeaways and a good reminder that your financial plan works best when your home, your health, and your long-term outlook are all protected. What You'll Walk Away With: • The small home safety upgrades that make the biggest difference in fire prevention • Why smoke alarms fail more often than you think and how to pick the right replacement • Lithium-ion battery safety covering where to store them, what to avoid, and which myths to ignore • How real-world fire prevention thinking overlaps with smart financial planning habits • What savers around the world worry about most when it comes to retirement • How inflation, longevity concerns, and economic uncertainty are reshaping retirement expectations globally • Practical steps to feel more confident about your long-term retirement plan based on what the data reveals • Permission to take simple safety steps today that your future self will thank you for This Episode Is For You If: • You can't remember the last time you checked your smoke alarms (or know they're overdue for replacement) • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house but aren't sure if you're storing them safely • You're curious what retirement worries look like around the world and how yours compare • You want retirement insights based on actual data instead of just one expert's opinion • You believe protecting what you have is just as important as growing what you're building Before You Hit Play, Ask Yourself: When's the last time you actually tested your smoke alarms or checked their expiration dates? And what's your biggest retirement worry right now?

Sébastien Page is the Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price, one of the world's largest investment management firms. Sebastien oversees a team of investment professionals who manage more than $500 billion in assets, and he rose from a non-English-speaking intern to the C-suite. Sébastien is also the author of the book, The Psychology of Leadership. In this episode we discuss the following: For the sports psychologist and 40-time national handball champ Daniel Zimet, his best match ever was a loss. Roger Federer, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, lost nearly half the points in his career. Outcomes are noisy, and are only loose signals of decision quality. True peak performance, whether in sports, investing, or life, isn't always about winning. It's about a relentless focus on the process. At the highest levels, listening beats speaking, strategic patience often beats knee-jerk decisiveness, and the courage to quit can matter more than blind persistence. None of this matters if we're running on empty. The foundation of sustained excellence is sleep, diet, and exercise.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page, a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out? Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true. The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake talks with Sebastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership, about the neuroscience and psychology of peak performance. Sebastien shares insights from 25 years as a leader in high-pressure finance, revealing how research from elite athletes like Simone Biles and Roger Federer can transform how you lead.

Think your retirement plan is bulletproof? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug are joined by certified financial planner Jeremy Keil, CFP® to walk you through the steps to building a retirement plan that won't crack under pressure. From mapping out your spending before you ever leave the workforce to crafting a tax strategy that keeps more money in your pocket, this conversation is your blueprint for making your golden years actually golden. But just when you think you've got retirement handled, we throw a curveball: private equity. With giants like Goldman Sachs and T. Rowe Price trying to slip these complex investments into your 401(k), it's time to ask whether “more opportunity” is really a good thing — or a trap for the unprepared. Joe and OG break down the risks, the realities, and what you need to know before you sign on the dotted line. As always, we serve it all with a side of basement banter — from Doug's trivia about the first issue of Playboy to a TikTok football moment you didn't know you needed — plus real-life stories that prove retirement planning is as much about mindset as it is about math. What You'll Learn In Today's Show: The five key steps to building a retirement plan that works for you, not just a generic spreadsheet. Why starting with your spending habits (not investments) can make or break your retirement success. How to prepare for the emotional side of retirement — including those pesky “what now?” questions. The surprising risks of private equity creeping into your 401(k) — and how to decide if it's worth it. Smart tax strategies to make your retirement money last longer. How long-term care, market volatility, and unexpected expenses should factor into your plan. Questions to Ponder During the Episode (and discuss with other Stackers!) What's one spending habit you need to understand now to avoid retirement surprises later? How would you react if your employer added private equity options to your 401(k)? Are you planning your retirement based on your lifestyle — or someone else's idea of “enough”? FULL SHOW NOTES: https://stackingbenjamins.com/five-steps-to-a-better-retirement-plan-with-jeremy-keil-1743 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!
