It's time for a special edition episode today where my friend Brian Tegmeyer from Truly Prosper Financial Planning

takes over the microphone and shares some great insight into planning and intentionality behind the non-financial aspects of retirement in this, the 176th episode of the Retirement Planning Education Podcast.
