In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm takes a look at two very different stories that somehow share the same theme: risk.First, the future of the Dallas Mavericks under new ownership.The Adelson family didn't buy 73% of the franchise just to sit courtside. Norm walks through what's really at play — the push to legalize casino gambling in Texas, the millions spent on political influence, and the long game behind a potential new arena and entertainment complex once the current lease expires in 2031.The big question isn't whether they want a casino in Dallas.It's whether Texas will ever allow it.Norm breaks down the politics, the timing, and whether the Mavericks are ultimately a basketball investment… or a much larger business play.Then the show pivots to the Winter Olympics — and one of the strangest medal-stand moments you'll ever hear about. A Norwegian biathlete wins bronze and decides the podium is the perfect place to publicly confess to cheating on his girlfriend and beg for forgiveness.Norm asks the obvious:Is there ever a good time for that? And was that it?It's sports, business, politics, ego, and human vulnerability — all in one episode.Sometimes the biggest gambles aren't the ones made with money. ⏱️ Chapters00:01 – Why the show is moving to once a week02:23 – Who really owns the Mavericks now?03:01 – The Adelsons and the casino connection03:57 – Can Texas ever legalize gambling?06:20 – Why legislation keeps failing08:09 – What happens when the lease expires in 2031?09:35 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:15 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:44 – Winter Olympics recap12:46 – The Norwegian biathlete's podium confession15:41 – The girlfriend responds16:13 – Final thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

In The EA Campus Podcast Ep 90, we sit down with Alicia and Yvette, the creators of the EA Salary Survey, to explore how the report came to life and why having a large, representative dataset really matters. We talk about the difference between small, skewed reports and meaningful data, and why transparency around respondent numbers is essential when you're making career decisions.We unpack the key findings from 2024 and 2025 across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. EA salaries are above regional averages in most areas; education does not automatically determine earnings; and only two specific benefits in each country truly move the needle on job satisfaction. Career progression, however, consistently impacts whether people plan to stay or leave.We also discuss hybrid versus remote working, peak earning years, and the gap between actual salary and salary satisfaction. One of the most important insights is that perception and progression often matter more than headline figures. Context is everything. Location, industry, and experience all play a role.Finally, we share practical advice on how to use the report properly. Read it carefully. Compare like-for-like. Use it as part of a strategic business case rather than a blunt instrument. This episode is about perspective, evidence, and helping you make informed decisions about your career. The EA Campus

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges tackle two heavy but necessary topics: what the Dallas Cowboys should have learned from the Super Bowl — and what America should be learning from the rise of hate in sports.Norm begins with the numbers.The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots built Super Bowl teams around defense and balanced salary cap management. Seattle allowed just 17 points per game. New England allowed 18. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys allowed over 30.The bigger story? Cap construction.Dallas' nine highest-paid players account for $239 million of a $300 million cap, leaving little room for what Norm calls the “middlemen” — the $8–15 million players who build roster depth and championship resilience. By contrast, Seattle and New England distribute money far more evenly, creating flexibility and defensive depth that wins in January.Norm then shifts to a broader issue: the rise of hate in American sports. From racial chants and religious slurs to recent incidents involving BYU athletes and Oklahoma State fans, Norm questions whether fines and soft punishments are enough — and whether sports can remain a unifying force when hostility keeps escalating.It's an episode about accountability — financial accountability in the NFL, and moral accountability in sports culture.Defense wins championships.But something else seems to be winning off the field. ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Did the Cowboys notice what won the Super Bowl?02:26 – The stat that won't go away: 49 of 60 Super Bowls03:04 – Dallas allowing 30+ points per game03:49 – $239M for nine players: the Cowboys' cap problem05:19 – How Seattle structures its salary cap06:50 – New England's middle-tier roster advantage07:44 – Jerry Jones and the love of star power08:35 – Former Cowboys thriving elsewhere09:24 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House10:18 – Full Moon Healing Balm11:38 – The rise of hate in America13:35 – Hate moving into sports arenas14:18 – BYU chants and Oklahoma State's response14:58 – Is $50,000 enough?15:46 – “On the love-hate scoreboard, hate seems to be winning.”16:08 – Closing thoughts Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys #DefenseWins #NFLSalaryCap #SportsCulture #SuperBowl Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

What if landing a $200K Customer Success role has a lot less to do with your title and a lot more to do with one thing almost no one is tracking?In this episode, I went full data-nerd and analyzed 10 recent clients who all accepted Customer Success offers between $175K–$230K. I pulled apart their resumes, KPIs, career paths, and job search histories to uncover the patterns that actually showed up at this level — not the advice we think matters, but what the data clearly revealed.I'm breaking down the types of companies paying top dollar, why domain depth quietly beats title chasing, and the specific metrics that consistently showed up across every high earner. We'll also talk about why “just CSM” titles aren't the red flag people think they are and what truly drives compensation once you're aiming for $200K and beyond.By the end of this episode, you'll have a much clearer roadmap for where to focus and what to stop stressing about if a $200K role is your goal.

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges break down Super Bowl 60 and the message it delivered — again — to the rest of the NFL.The final score shows Seattle Seahawks 29, New England Patriots 13, but Norm explains why the game was never that close. Seattle's defense controlled the afternoon from start to finish, confusing young quarterback Drake May with late-shifting coverages, constant pressure, and disciplined execution. Norm points out that this win adds to a now overwhelming trend: the team with the better defense has won 49 of the 60 Super Bowls.From there, Norm turns his attention to the Dallas Cowboys — and doesn't mince words. He argues that Dallas continues to ignore the most obvious lesson in football history, investing heavily in offense while hoping defense will somehow catch up. Norm lays out exactly what the Cowboys should do: use early draft picks and available free-agent money on five or six defensive players who can contribute immediately.The episode also highlights Seattle's overlooked advantages, including elite special-teams play from kicker Jason Myers and punter Michael Dixon, who consistently flipped field position. Norm praises head coach Mike McDonald's brilliant game plan, noting how Seattle built a championship defense without relying on massive salaries — instead emphasizing smart drafts, mid-tier contracts, and cohesion.It's a familiar lesson, delivered once again on the biggest stage: offense sells hope, but defense still wins championships.⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Did Super Bowl 60 send Dallas a message?01:25 – Why the final score doesn't tell the story02:12 – 49 of 60 Super Bowls: the defense statistic that won't go away03:06 – Seattle's defensive domination explained04:02 – New England's stalled possessions and short drives05:51 – Befuddling Drake May with late-shift defenses06:29 – Turnovers, sacks, and constant pressure07:18 – Seattle's special teams flip the field08:11 – Why Kenneth Walker deserved MVP09:03 – Mike McDonald's brilliant defensive blueprint10:39 – How Seattle built a championship defense11:29 – Cowboys Organization: did you get the message?12:14 – Sponsor message: Bob's Steak & Chop House12:40 – Full Moon Healing Balm14:14 – Subscribe, follow, and final thoughts Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

The Saturday Show with Rob Ellis and Mike Sielski is shocked at the level of disaster it feels like Philly sports are experiencing right now. Honestly, it could be Rob's fault for showing gratitude for all four teams in January. Jeff Stoutland leaves the Eagles this past week- why did that happen? The Sixers trade Jared McCain for a few picks instead of adding to the team- why did that happen? Flyers continue to disappoint.

Send us a textSenior executive hiring has fundamentally shifted. It is no longer a linear path of applying, interviewing, and receiving an offer. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on "closed-door" conversations with global executive recruiters and leadership assessors to reveal how C-suite and VP-level talent are actually sourced and evaluated. From the "trust recession" to the "with or without you" energy, we explore the unspoken signals that separate top candidates from the rest.Key TakeawaysHiring is Not a History Test: Senior candidates are not evaluated on their ability to recall facts and data dumps; they are judged on their influence, judgment, and executive thinking,The Trust Recession: In an era of misinformation, being "easy to trust" is your greatest asset. High-level roles are often filled through warm networks and trusted referrals long before a job is ever posted online.Adjacency Over Domain: When pivoting industries, specialized domain knowledge is less important than "leadership altitude"—the ability to align teams, simplify complexity, and orchestrate results regardless of the sector.Diagnose, Don't Impress: Shift your interview energy from a "pick me" mentality to a consultant's mindset. Show up to diagnose the business's "messy middle" and tension points rather than just listing your past achievements.Strategic Compensation: Never anchor your salary expectations on your historic pay. Instead, benchmark against the market median and the specific risk and mandate of the new role.Episode Highlights07:27 – The Compliance Step: Why posting a senior role online is often just a formality. Recruiters typically start with warm networks and trusted referrals before a role is ever published.14:09 – The "Context-Conflict-Cure" Framework: Move beyond standard storytelling to capture the "messy middle". Assessors want to know the "calculus" behind your decisions and what you learned from the friction.20:30 – Leadership Altitude vs. Domain: Why a 95% match on "leadership altitude"—the ability to create alignment and manage ambiguity—will always be prioritized over pure domain familiarity.35:10 – Mastering the Negotiation: A real-world case study on why you should never negotiate over email. Learn how to pivot from a low offer to a strategic conversation about market medians and total value creation.38:15 – The Role of Leadership Assessors: Why these trained psychologists look for "future capacity" and "executive altitude" rather than your technical history or resume chronology.Mentioned in the EpisodeCompensation Resources: Tools for market benchmarking including Salary.com, PayScale, DataViz, and Glassdoor.Enjoyed this episode?

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm and Mary Hitzges look backward and forward at the same time — tracing the remarkable evolution of the Super Bowl while unpacking a franchise-shifting decision by the Dallas Mavericks. Norm begins with Super Bowl 60, revisiting how the game went from an awkward, half-empty afternoon in 1967 to the most powerful annual spectacle in American sports. From $12 tickets and $42,000 commercials to today's $8–10 million ad slots, Norm explains how the Super Bowl's growth mirrors the transformation of sports, television, and money itself. Along the way, he shares unforgettable history — including Max McGee's hungover heroics in Super Bowl I and the astonishing reality that neither network bothered to save the full game tape. The episode then shifts to the present, where Norm breaks down the Dallas Mavericks' decision to move on from Anthony Davis, effectively closing the book on the Luka Dončić era. Norm explains why the trade wasn't about talent — Davis was still productive when healthy — but about flexibility, criticism fatigue, and long-term cap strategy. With Dallas now projected to have $44 million in cap space, Norm outlines how the Mavericks may follow a patient, Oklahoma City–style rebuild built around flexibility, draft assets, and opportunistic trades. It's a thoughtful episode about growth, money, patience, and perspective — from the Super Bowl's unlikely beginnings to a franchise trying to find its next identity. Just Wondering_1.mp3 ⏱️ Chapters (YouTube-Friendly) 00:00 – Super Bowl Sunday questions and today's themes01:26 – The origin of the Super Bowl name02:10 – From $12 tickets to $10M commercials02:58 – 32,000 empty seats at Super Bowl I04:57 – Why the full game footage was never saved05:53 – Max McGee's hungover Super Bowl legend06:49 – Super Bowl 60 matchup and betting context08:02 – Why defense still wins Super Bowls08:56 – Transition to the Mavericks' big move11:09 – Anthony Davis traded and what it really means11:54 – Criticism fatigue and why Dallas wanted out13:20 – What the Mavericks actually received14:15 – The real prize: $44M in cap flexibility15:40 – Following the Oklahoma City rebuild model16:21 – Pieces Dallas still likes going forward17:18 – What Dallas ultimately got for Luka18:27 – Sponsors and closing thoughts19:19 – Final sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

Lions Flavor in a Point-Flooded Pro Bowl Episode 562 of the Detroit Lions Podcast opened with Detroit Lions talk pointed straight at Super Bowl week, but the NFL Pro Bowl stole the first segment. Jeff Risdon flipped over after basketball and landed on a perfect scene: Jared Goff dropping a pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The scoreboard was already wild. More than 100 points lit up the broadcast. It felt like 56 to 50 at one point. The pace never slowed. This was not football as we know it. It was flag football. No tackling. No contact. No one even allowed to touch. Yet the hosts liked the energy. Jeff caught the last 35 to 40 minutes and agreed it beat the old 11-on-11 walk-through. Goff wore his hat and looked relaxed. He was clearly having fun. St. Brown moved like it mattered. For Lions fans, seeing that connection on a national stage was the hook that kept the channel right there. What the Hosts Teed Up Next After the quick Pro Bowl review, the rundown hit Detroit-centered questions. Levi Onwuzurike and Paschal came up under the banner of paying the toll. Is the player paying it, or are the Lions paying it? The conversation promised to sort through that. Salary cap talk is coming, and it sounds crazy. The Vikings got a mention as a punchline. Super Bowl choices were on deck, teased as a segment still to come. The aim is clear. Keep the focus on how Detroit Lions decisions intersect with an NFL offseason that is already moving. Tie the Pro Bowl flashes from Goff and St. Brown back into what matters next. Keep the Detroit Lions Podcast locked on the things fans actually need to think about this week. Behind the Mics The show remains the official Detroit Lions podcast for Reddit. Studio upgrades are on the way. Better lights. A new space. A former Cleveland Browns scout is lined up for Monday to talk prospects. The cadence of content is increasing, and the boys are clearly having fun building it. Detroit is front and center this week. The Lions have stars who just showed out in the NFL's showcase, even with flags at their hips. The next steps on cap, depth, and health are the real story. Episode 562 keeps those steps in focus. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #amon-rast.brown #probowl #flagfootball #nfl #episode562 #jeffrisdon #levionwuzurike #paschal #salarycap #vikings #superbowl #reddit Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textIn this episode, you'll learn why exempt salaries often fail in private practices—even when they look like a clean solution for predictable payroll. The episode breaks down what “exempt” actually means under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (fixed salary, no overtime eligibility, and strict duties tests) and why many practice owners unintentionally create risk by using “salary” as a shortcut instead of a compliance-based classification.You'll hear the most common failure points: misclassification exposure (back pay, penalties, audits, reputational damage), morale erosion when overtime work goes uncompensated, and loss of payroll flexibility due to guaranteed pay rules when any work occurs in a workweek. The episode also explains how exempt status rarely delivers true autonomy in clinical settings with rigid schedules—and why this mismatch quietly undermines trust.Finally, the host outlines practical alternatives—such as hourly pay plus incentive-based bonuses—that deliver clearer compliance, stronger motivation, and fairer compensation without locking the practice into rigid exempt-salary constraints.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

In this episode of Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm examines two modern sports realities that feel completely different — but are driven by the same idea: pushing systems beyond what they were designed to handle.Norm starts with the Dallas Cowboys' looming 2026 salary cap crisis. With the NFL cap projected to exceed $300 million, the Cowboys are already $30 million over, before accounting for key players they want to keep. Norm walks through the uncomfortable math surrounding contract restructures, deferred money, and why the Cowboys' familiar strategy of “robbing Peter to pay Paul” makes today easier — and tomorrow much harder. From Dak Prescott's ballooning cap numbers to the impossible situation surrounding defensive tackle Kenny Clark, this is a clear-eyed look at how Dallas keeps betting on the future while borrowing against it.Then the episode shifts to college football, where the definition of a “career” is quietly being rewritten. Norm breaks down the unprecedented case of Miami linebacker Mohamed Ture, who is returning for an eighth season of college football at age 25. Thanks to redshirts, injury waivers, COVID eligibility, and NIL deals, Norm explains why some players can now make more money staying in college than entering the NFL — and why this trend may only accelerate.It's a thoughtful, numbers-driven episode about consequences, incentives, and what happens when leagues solve today's problems by moving them into tomorrow.JWw-NH SL Ep 95 ⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Just wondering about another Cowboys salary cap mess01:27 – The 2026 NFL salary cap: $300M and Dallas is already over02:08 – “Robbing Peter to pay Paul” explained02:53 – Cutting players to create cap space03:38 – Why Kenny Clark's $21M cap hit can't happen04:29 – The backlash if Dallas lets Clark walk05:11 – Nine players, $259M, and nowhere to go06:01 – Why the math simply doesn't work06:40 – March 11: the real NFL deadline07:21 – How Dak Prescott's cap hit ballooned to $74M08:04 – Zach Martin, retirement, and dead money08:55 – “Busting the budget” for a Super Bowl run09:41 – Sponsor break11:39 – College football's newest oddity12:26 – Mohamed Ture returns for an eighth season13:26 – ACL injuries, NFL risk, and NIL math14:13 – Making a career out of college football14:53 – Final thoughts and sign-off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW #JustWondering #NormHitzges #DallasCowboys#NFLSalaryCap #CowboysNation#CollegeFootball #NIL #TransferPortal#SportsPodcast #SportsEconomics Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, saw roughly £22 million in bonuses and deferred compensation frozen in 2022 as regulators dug into his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The freeze included unvested share payouts and long-term incentive plans that Staley had been promised but had not yet received. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) launched their review after concerns emerged over how Staley characterized his personal relationship with Epstein, a man whose reputation was already well-tarnished by his 2008 sex-offense conviction. The decision marked a significant step for Barclays, signaling just how seriously the bank's board and regulators were taking any whiff of reputational risk tied to Epstein.The matter didn't end with the freeze. In 2023, the FCA moved to ban Staley from holding senior positions in the UK financial industry, citing his misleading accounts of the Epstein connection. Alongside the ban, regulators initially proposed a £1.8 million fine, which was later reduced to about £1.1 million. Staley ultimately forfeited around £18 million in bonuses and deferred pay. For a man who had once been a Wall Street heavyweight, it was a public and financial fall from grace that demonstrated the long shadow Epstein's scandal continues to cast over those in his orbit.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wsj.com/articles/barclays-profit-falls-on-slowdown-in-investment-banking-11645603658Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Gen Z are having a hard time conceptualizing the reality of financial freedom, as Canada grapples with an affordability crisis. That's especially so for residents of two of the country's most expensive cities, Toronto and Vancouver.And while people in their 20s struggle with affording a place to stay, their parents struggle with watching them struggle, and inevitably end up opening their doors as they finish post-secondary and hunt for a job, a career, a place to stay or even a purpose in life.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Claire Gagné, editor for Macleans and author of 'Why Gen Z Will Never Leave Home'. The two discuss the possibilities of multigenerational living to benefit Canadians struggling with money - and loneliness, and how Canada could improve its lagging productivity issue.

How much more money could you earn - doing the exact same role - if you're in possession of some solid AI skills? That's one of the core questions that Dr Fabian Stephany, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, hopes to answer. Leading the 'SkillScale' project, Fabian looks into the impact of AI tools on the labour market, with the ultimate hope of advising workers on the best ways to secure jobs and increase their salaries. So, far from a discussion about 'AI stealing our jobs', we ask Fabian - how can we use AI to secure a bigger pay packet?  Find out more: Skills or Degree?

Few interview questions create more damage with fewer words. Not because it's hard. But because people answer it at the worst possible time, with the least possible leverage. Most candidates think this question is about money. It isn't. It's about timing, power, and whether you understand how hiring decisions actually get made. Say a number too early and you either leave money on the table you'll never get back or price yourself out before anyone truly understands your value. And here's the part nobody teaches. There isn't one "right" answer to this question. There's a sequence.  A progression of responses that protects your leverage, keeps the process moving, and positions you to negotiate when your stock is highest, not lowest. In this week's lesson, I break down: Why giving a number early almost always works against you. What recruiters are really trying to confirm when they ask. And the exact recruiter-proof responses I use to control this conversation without sounding evasive or combative. If you've ever felt pressure to answer this question quickly, or worried that one wrong sentence could cost you thousands, this lesson will change how you approach salary conversations forever.

Retirement researcher Stefan Sharkansky explains why the 4% rule often leaves retirees underspending — and how a more flexible, math-driven approach can lead to a better retirement experience. For decades, the 4% rule has been treated as a gold standard for retirement spending. In fact, I made video about it on my YouTube channel. If you ask most retirees how much they can safely spend, the conversation quickly turns to probabilities, simulations, and avoiding failure. But what if the real risk isn't running out of money — it's not using it well? In this episode of Retire Today, I'm joined by Stefan Sharkansky, whose background in math and computer science led him to question how retirement spending strategies are actually designed — and what they optimize for. As Stefan put it plainly, “Under the average market scenario, following the safe withdrawal rate of 4% would leave you with more when you passed away than when you started.” In other words, many retirees are leaving too much money on the table in their retirement spending plan. The Problem With “Safe” Withdrawal Rates Most retirement spending research focuses on one outcome: not running out of money. Advisors often present plans as probabilities — a 90% or 95% chance of success — where “success” means the portfolio never hits zero. But this framing runs the risk of missing what retirees actually care about. After all, if you have a 90% probability of success, what that really means is that 89% of the time, you could have spent more. That insight flips traditional planning on its head. Instead of asking, “What's the safest amount I can withdraw?” the better question becomes, “What level of spending lets me live well — while staying adaptable if conditions change?” Why Retirement Spending Isn't Constant One major flaw in the 4% rule is the assumption that spending stays flat year after year. Real life doesn't work that way. Spending often starts higher in early retirement with travel and experiences, dips in later years, then rises again due to healthcare needs. Taxes also change as retirees shift between taxable accounts, IRAs, and Roth accounts. As Stefan noted, “This idea of constant spending never exists in the real world.” Any retirement spending plan that assumes otherwise is solving the wrong problem. A Salary-and-Bonus Approach to Retirement Stefan's research introduces a different framework — one that mirrors how people actually lived during their working years. He described a model where retirees create: A stable, inflation-protected income base using Social Security and a ladder of TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities) A variable ‘bonus' income driven by long-term stock performance “You have your salary from Social Security and your TIPS,” Stefan explained, “and then you get a bonus based on how the stock market does.” In strong markets, spending can increase. In weaker years, spending adjusts — while working to help maintain long-term security. The key is that adjustment is assumed, not treated as failure. Rethinking Risk Tolerance Traditional risk tolerance focuses on portfolio volatility — how much account values swing up and down. Stefan argues retirees should think differently. “Risk tolerance should be about how much variability in income you're comfortable with,” he said, “not just what percentage of stocks and bonds you hold.” Some retirees prefer a higher guaranteed income floor with less variability. Others are comfortable with more income fluctuation in exchange for higher long-term spending. The right plan aligns income stability with personal preferences — not arbitrary rules. Why This Matters Many retirees say the 4% rule “doesn't work for them” — not because it's unsafe, but because it doesn't generate enough income to support the life they want. Stefan's research shows that when you plan for flexibility, rather than perfection, you can often spend more, not less — while still maintaining control. The goal isn't to maximize your ending balance. It's to maximize your retirement experience. Ultimately, you need to make your retirement spending plan in a way that not only is within your means, but meets your retirement goals.  Don't forget to leave a rating for the “Retire Today” podcast if you've been enjoying these episodes!

You just don't know you're fighting it yet.**In 1884, Edwin Abbott wrote *Flatland* - a mathematical romance about a two-dimensional world where beings live as shapes on a plane, unable to perceive the third dimension of depth. He thought he was writing social satire.**He was actually writing a transmission about 2026.**About YOU.Living in a reality you think is solid, complete, “realistic” - while being completely blind to dimensions you can't perceive.**Your worth measured in 2D metrics:** Credentials. Salary. Followers. Job titles.**Your identity flattened to geometry:** How many “sides” you've accumulated in the game of status.**Your future planned on a horizontal plane:** Assuming linear time, guaranteed tomorrows, safe predictability.**You are A Square. And you don't even know you're trapped.**-----## What if I told you there's a vertical dimension hiding in plain sight?**Not “up” in some abstract spiritual sense.**But **UP** as in: *What becomes visible when death shatters your 2D certainty?*When you're fired after 26 years and your identity evaporates.When someone you love faces mortality and all your careful plans dissolve.When you turn fifty and realize you don't fit in the traditional game anymore.**These aren't tragedies. These are dimensional initiations.**Moments when the **Sphere** - a being from a higher dimension - enters your flat world and shows you: *Everything you thought was solid is just a cross-section.*-----## This episode activates your Reticular Activating System.That part of your brain that filters reality - deciding what you notice and what you ignore.**After this episode, your RAS will be tuned to see Flatland everywhere:**- In conversations where people brag about credentials- In systems designed to keep you flat and measurable- In your own thoughts when you catch yourself playing the 2D game- **In the moments when death whispers: “None of this is real”****Once activated, you can't deactivate it.**You'll start seeing the prison bars. The dimensional limitations. The game beneath the game.**And you won't be able to unsee it.**-----## This isn't a book review. This is an initiation.I've been lifted out of Flatland three times:- **Fired after 26 years** (identity death - the 2D game of job = worth revealed as illusion)- **Wife fighting cancer** (mortality confrontation - the future I was planning for might not exist)- **Turning fifty** (threshold moment - realizing I don't fit in the traditional workforce anymore)**These were my Sphere moments.** When death entered my flat world and showed me dimensions I couldn't perceive before.Now I'm back in Flatland. But I'm… changed.I can't play the game anymore. Can't pretend credentials matter. Can't believe in “realistic” thinking.**Because I've seen the vertical dimension.**And once you've been there - once you've been initiated by death, loss, shattering - **you can never fully believe in Flatland again.**-----## What you'll discover in this episode:**The architecture of Flatland** - How 2D thinking imprisons you without you realizing it**Death as the third dimension** - The vertical axis that breaks the flat plane of “normal life”**Your initiations** - Recognizing the moments when the Sphere appeared in YOUR life (and you might have missed it)**The RAS activation** - How this episode will permanently change what you perceive in your reality**The elder's burden** - What to do when you've been lifted out but dropped back into a world that thinks you're crazy-----## WARNING: This is not safe content.This episode is designed to make you **dangerously curious** and **a little uncomfortable.**Not reassured. Not inspired in the Instagram quote way.**Initiated.**By the end, you'll question:- Whether your job defines you (it doesn't - that's Flatland)- Whether your plans are guaranteed (they're not - that's 2D thinking)- Whether “being realistic” is wisdom (it's not - it's prison maintenance)- **Whether consensus reality is actually real (it's not - it's Flatland)**You'll start seeing patterns you can't unsee.Noticing dimensional breaks you used to ignore.Recognizing when death is trying to teach you something.**And there's no going back.**-----## This is Part 1 of a 6-episode series exploring:**Episode 1:** You Are Living in Flatland (And You Don't Even Know It) ← *You are here***Episode 2:** The Sphere Has Already Appeared.

You've just been initiated by death. And prisoners who see the bars become insurgents.”*-----**Your RAS is now activated.****You can't unknow this.****Welcome to the vertical dimension.****Welcome to the resistance.**-----*Initiated by death.

Not recommended for those committed to remaining comfortably two-dimensional.]**-----## About this series:Following the 5-episode *Don Quixote* initiation series (where we explored tilting at windmills, vision vs delusion, defeat at fifty, and coming home), the *Flatland* series takes you deeper into dimensional knowing.**This is live philosophy.** Real-time transformation documented through literature.Not memoir.

What if financial planning were approached the same way engineers design aircraft, medical treatments, or complex systems—with clearly defined objectives, constraints, and rigorous trade-off analysis? In this episode, Benjamin Felix is joined by Braden Warwick for a deep dive into what it means to engineer financial outcomes. Drawing on Braden's background as a PhD-trained mechanical engineer and his work building financial planning software at PWL Capital, the conversation reframes financial planning as a design problem rather than a speculative exercise. They explore the critical distinction between a financial plan and a financial projection, why uncertainty does not invalidate good planning, and how professional communication under uncertainty can build trust with clients—especially those from technical backgrounds. The discussion highlights the importance of goals-based planning, sensitivity analysis, and explicitly quantifying trade-offs when clients have multiple competing objectives.

The Philadelphia Eagles season was nothing short of a disappointment. The biggest disappointment? The offense and how it was run. The poor rushing attack. The poor run blocking. The poor play design. All of it wasn't the brand of football Eagles fans have become used to. This week, friend of the pod, Ed Kracz from Eagles Today at S.I., joined the show for a deep dive into what we saw with this Eagles offense as they dissected the details. It was a fantastic conversation!But first, the guys discussed J.T. Realmuto's new contract with the Phillies, what it means for the team moving forward and how this offseason has looked. (Approx. 4:00)From there, they got into a discussion about whether or not Major League Baseball will now need to institute a salary cap after the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a massive contract. (Approx. 12:30)Then they dove into Sixers young prospect Jared McCain, his short tenure with the organization and if his talent has fizzled. (Approx. 21:25)What they threw down on the Table this week was a great and in-depth conversation with Ed Kracz from Eagles Today at S.I. about what we saw from the Eagles offense all season. Why weren't changes made to the most predictable offense in the league week after week? Was there more going on with the offensive line than just injures? Who should be the Eagles next offensive coordinator? All of this and much more this week on the Table!
