| 6/16/26 | Is the 401(k) Failing Retirement? | Is the 401(k) really the retirement solution—or just a piece of the puzzle? In this episode, Jon Hicks breaks down the origins of the 401(k) and why it may not be designed to carry the full weight of retirement planning. He explains how many Americans rely too heavily on it, and why a strategy focused on protection, income, and tax planning matters as retirement approaches. The conversation also covers common gaps in traditional approaches and what to consider when transitioning from saving to generating income.

| 3/24/26 | What Your Tax Return Is Really Telling You | Your tax return may reveal more about your financial picture than you realize. In this episode, Jon Hicks explains why a tax return shouldn’t be filed and forgotten, but instead reviewed like a report card that highlights missed opportunities and planning gaps. The conversation explores how income decisions, deferrals, and overlooked line items can quietly shape long‑term outcomes. Listeners will hear why looking beyond April 15th matters and how tax documents can be used to inform smarter conversations about retirement planning, income strategy, and future decisions.

| 3/22/26 | When Retirement Planning Starts to Look Like a Bracket Challenge | March Madness isn’t the only place overconfidence can derail the outcome. In this episode from this past weekend’s radio show, Jon Hicks uses bracket chaos, betting psychology, and headline‑driven markets to explain how emotional decisions can quietly creep into retirement planning. The discussion covers recency bias, concentrated portfolios, income versus accumulation, and why retirement spending without a clear plan can create stress even after years of saving. It’s a wide‑ranging conversation about behavior, discipline, and building systems that hold up when volatility shows up.

Using real‑world examples and clear analogies, the conversation focuses on why retirees and near‑retirees need plans that account for disruption, not just calm markets. The episode explores stress testing, distinguishing market “noise” from real signals, and preparing for scenarios that don’t go according to plan—all with an eye toward staying financially steady when uncertainty hits.
