The evolution of retirement has been changing for decades and with people living longer than before, many people are wondering where they will end up when their time comes.

This week on the show, Brad wades into one of the most high stakes traditions of the season…holiday table talk. Brad breaks down the conversations you should be having with every family member. He dives into the money dynamics nobody wants to bring up — budgeting for gifts without guilt, helping older relatives prepare financially, and even teaching younger family members about saving before they pick up their first paycheck. Whether your family avoids money talk like politics or overshares like it's a group therapy session, this episode will show you how to turn awkward holiday chatter into meaningful, healthy financial dialogue that sets everyone up for a stronger new year.

This week on the show, Brad takes on one of the biggest misunderstandings in the money world: the difference between a good company and a good investment. Because yes, your favorite brand might make great products, treat employees like royalty, and donate to puppies — but that doesn't automatically mean its stock is going to the moon. And on the flip side, some companies that feel sketchier than a gas-station hot dog somehow make investors rich. So, let's dig into why loving a company and making money from it are two very different things… and how to tell when you've found both.
