Last week, I reviewed our most recent listener survey. Big thank you to everybody that filled that out,

hundreds of people. It's wonderful direct feedback to help us get better for you, which is the point.

And it's clear you're likely here because you're trying to build a level of mastery in retirement

planning so you can have more confidence and comfort, whether you're doing it on your own or working with an advisor.

And that is reading books, watching YouTube videos, listening to podcasts to understand the lay of the land.

actually doing it. Individuals that are retired and have navigated this decision or are navigating

it now because there are pearls of wisdom that you can use to go from the academic theory of it

to actually making decisions for yourself. I find gold in these

feedback sessions and I hope that you do too. So we're going to get that started. Well, right now.

going to love that. It'll give you a recap of the show,
