War in the Middle East. Oil up sharply. Markets on edge.
Should investors panic-or stay the course?

On this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris Boyd sits down with Brian Regan and Russ Ball to unpack the financial implications of renewed U.S. and Israeli strikes involving Iran. Together, they examine how geopolitical shocks historically affect markets, why volatility often feels worse than it proves to be, and what disciplined investors should focus on instead of headlines.

Most importantly, they reinforce a core principle: investment strategy should align with your financial plan not with the latest breaking news.

Whether you're feeling uneasy or simply looking for perspective, this episode offers thoughtful analysis, practical guidance, and a steady voice in uncertain times.

Keep striving for Something More.

Diving Deep on Social Security decisions with Marsha Mantell (part two)

In this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris, and Jeff welcome back Social
Security expert and author Marsha Mantell for a deep dive into reallife Social Security case
studies. Drawing from her book Social Security: Lightly Toasted, Not Burned, Marsha shares
relatable scenarios from single earners and hardworking bluecollar couples to divorced spouses,
blended families, and widows navigating complex decisions. Together, they walk through how
lifetime earnings, timing, marital history, and survivor benefits shape Social Security outcomes.
With humor (yes, the Flintstones and Brady Bunch make an appearance) and practical insight,
this episode highlights why assumptions about ages like 62, 65, 70, or even 70½ often miss the
mark and why thoughtful planning matters. Whether you are approaching retirement or helping
clients prepare, this conversation delivers clarity, strategy, and "something more" to help you
make informed choices about your Social Security benefits.
