Watch this interview on YouTube Full transcript — "As marketers, we can't just respond to the bottom line," says TIAA CMO Micky Onvural. "We can't just say, 'Well give me a million dollars and I will give you this many customers or this many clicks, and if I do the right kind of mathematics, I'll give you this kind of lifetime value that's going to deliver you this to the bottom line.' I think you actually have to connect further upstream with the CFO." Today on Building Better CMOs, Micky explains what connecting further upstream looks like in practice, the retirement crisis in America, and the importance of vulnerability, humility, and curiosity in leadership. She and MMA Global CEO Greg Stuart also discuss the importance of customer experience, Micky's years as the CEO of Bonobos, and how returning to the CMO role compares.

The 1895 Horseless Carriage Contest sponsored by the Chicago Times-Herald (aka "first" auto-race in America) - a peek into the WHAT, WHY. WHEN. WHERE, WHO beyond the auto history lore of a Duryea victory on a cold and snowy, Thanksgiving Day in Chicago. David Schmidt is a Director at the Society of Automotive Historians (SAH) as well as Panel Chair for the SAH Bradley Award. He is also a member of the Porsche Club of America and Fuelfed, a private club for enthusiasts of European cars. Born in Detroit, his father and grandfather both worked for GM at Fisher Body. Being a product of a certain generation he experienced the muscle car era first hand cruising the famed Woodward Avenue in the late 1960's. David received a BA from Michigan State University, MA and PhD from Indiana University and after a career in financial services retired from TIAA. As an auto enthusiast, he can be seen driving about town in a 1967 Volvo Amazon or 1989 Porsche Carrera. The importance of this event is perhaps best captured that same year by Peter Studebaker of the eponymous wagon maker who, with prescience, commended the sponsoring newspaper “... for transferring the manufacture of the motocycle (a term applied to the horseless carriage after a naming contest) concentrating the inventive faculties of the nation on this [horseless carriage] new departure.” ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction and Sponsors 00:16 The 1895 Horseless Carriage Contest Overview 00:37 Presenter Background: David Schmidt 01:21 Significance of the 1895 Race 02:53 Race Day Preparations and Challenges 07:10 The Thanksgiving Day Race 08:44 Post-Race Analysis and Awards 10:07 Impact and Legacy of the 1895 Race 10:43 Why the 1895 Race Was Held 11:29 The Role of the Chicago Times Herald 14:56 Rescheduling and Final Preparations 16:08 The Birth of American Auto Racing 16:28 Why Chicago? 18:18 The Bicycle Craze and Its Influence 19:44 Chicago: The Transportation Hub 20:30 Unsung Heroes of the Horseless Carriage 21:18 The Tragic Tale of Hieronymus Muller 22:06 Charles B.

Annuities shift longevity risk from employees to insurance providers, ensuring participants don't run out of income in retirement.Employers can offer annuity options in 401(k) plans to provide pension-like guaranteed income without offering traditional pensions. Seek guidance from retirement plan consultants, product manufacturers, and record keepers when considering retirement income solutions. Industry trade groups offer certification programs to enhance advisors' knowledge of retirement income. Target date funds with embedded annuities gradually shift to guaranteed income as participants approach retirement.Record keepers face complexities in complying with legislation like SECURE 2.0 but are working to implement retirement income solutions. Young advisors should act now on innovative solutions to help employees build retirement savings.“Our belief is that simple, low cost, and portable will win that. For anything to be successful in a 401k plan today, it needs to be simple, low cost, and portable.” - Brendan McCarthyConnect with Brendan McCarthy:Website: https://www.nuveen.com/global/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-mccarthy-4616ab8/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation for any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice, or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstances of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan-specific circumstances.

You've saved up your downpayment and found the perfect house to buy. But have you considered closing costs?They're really the first big expense you'll have with home ownership. Which can you negotiate, and which are set in stone?The Hidden Costs of Homebuying: What You Need to Know About Closing CostsBuying a home is an exciting milestone, but amidst the thrill of owning your first house, it's easy to overlook the long list of closing costs that come with it. Many people think that because these costs are often rolled into the mortgage, they don't need to worry about them. However, understanding and negotiating these costs can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.For a typical mortgage, closing costs usually range between 3% to 6% of the mortgage amount. Let's break it down with an example. Suppose you borrow $250,000 at 6.5% interest on a 30-year loan. Your monthly payment would be around $1,580. If your closing costs are on the higher end—say $15,000—and you roll them into your mortgage, you're now borrowing $265,000 instead of $250,000. This increases your monthly payment by $95, leading to an additional cost of over $34,000 over the life of the loan.In short, closing costs matter. Being aware of them and negotiating where possible is crucial.Negotiable Closing CostsSome closing costs come with wiggle room, meaning you can negotiate them down. Here are a few:Homeowners Insurance: Your lender requires this, but you can shop around for the best rates. Don't assume the insurer suggested by your lender or agent is the best option.Origination Fee: This fee typically covers the cost of underwriting the loan and is usually about 1% of the loan amount. Always ask to have it waived or lowered; you might not succeed, but asking costs nothing.Underwriting Fee: Some lenders charge this fee in addition to or instead of the origination fee. Again, you can negotiate this.Loan Application Fee: This one-time fee for processing your loan can also be a candidate for negotiation, especially if you're already paying an origination or underwriting fee.Real Estate Commissions: Traditionally, sellers have paid the commissions for both the seller's and buyer's agents. However, recent changes in the real estate industry mean buyers may now be asked to contribute. It's another area to negotiate.Title Insurance: You'll need to buy lender's title insurance, which only protects the lender. You can shop around for better rates and suggest a different insurer to your lender. Don't forget to purchase owner's title insurance to protect your ownership.Non-Negotiable Closing CostsWhile some closing costs can be negotiated, others are fixed. These include the appraisal fee, credit check fee, government fees (such as title transfers or recording costs), and property taxes. You should be prepared to pay these costs without expecting any leeway.The Importance of Integrity in Your Mortgage CompanyWith so much money on the line, it's essential to work with a mortgage company that operates with transparency and integrity. Movement Mortgage is a Christian mortgage company founded during the 2008 housing crisis. Its mission is to help homebuyers while glorifying God by positively impacting communities within the U.S. and abroad.Movement Mortgage offers competitive rates and the opportunity to be part of a global movement of change. The company has donated $377 million to community projects both locally and internationally. With locations in all 50 states, Movement Mortgage is a lender you can trust to guide you through the home-buying process with integrity.For more information, you can visit FaithFi.com/Movement.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Are permanent endowments biblical in a Christian context? I'm thinking of a Christian university, nonprofit, or other Christian organization with a permanent endowment where the original gift can never be touched and only the income can be used. What are your thoughts on the biblical perspective of this?I had a TIAA account that my husband took out as an adjunct professor at the local community college. It's just a small amount, and because I'm 76, I've been required to take a certain amount out each year. I want to give this to my son so those amounts can stay there and start accruing interest. Can I do that?I'm trying to mitigate the taxes on the sale of a rental house. Can I use the proceeds to satisfy my required minimum distribution (RMD), or does the RMD have to come from an IRA? Also, my husband has had a whole life insurance policy since he was 20.

I sat down with Melora Zaner, the Chief Design Officer at TIAA, to discuss the often-overlooked value of incremental innovation and the transformative power of design in addressing pressing societal challenges like retirement.  Our conversation starts with an urgent issue that many are facing—the retirement crisis in America. We discuss the alarming statistics indicating that 40% of Americans are on track to run out of money in their retirement years. Melora offers an intriguing alternative by asking, "What if we shift our thinking from 'retirement planning' to 'longevity planning'?" This approach puts the focus on sustained income, healthcare provisions, and overall quality of life, rather than just a lump sum that may or may not last a lifetime. Innovation doesn't have to be grandiose to be impactful, as Melora eloquently points out. The episode delves into the concept of 'breadcrumbing,' a term Melora uses to describe the art of celebrating small, incremental changes that lead toward a significant shift. These small steps, often overlooked in the constant quest for disruptive change, can offer customers stepping stones, helping them see a future where their needs and concerns are addressed. We also discuss the importance of storytelling in the journey of innovation. How do you narrate a story that balances the celebration of small victories with the drive toward grand visions? The idea is to offer manageable steps, or breadcrumbs, to make the journey less daunting and more rewarding for both customers and organizations. These incremental changes shouldn't be underestimated; they often result in exponential gains over time, especially when they address specific customer pain points. Finally, Melora shares insights into getting internal stakeholders on board with innovation. She emphasizes that incremental wins can build confidence internally and set the stage for bigger, more disruptive changes in the long run. Tune into this episode of Innovation Storytellers Show to explore the power of incremental innovation and design-led thinking in transforming how we approach complex challenges, from the retirement crisis to customer engagement and internal alignment. Because sometimes, the biggest changes start with the smallest steps. Don't miss this enlightening discussion, full of actionable insights and thought-provoking concepts that challenge the status quo.
