We live in a world full of various insurance options and coverage: medical, home owner, car … the list goes on and on.

We’ll start the show with our list: Notable Performances by Actors with Disabilities. Then, we’ll break down disability insurance and how it works. What is the benefit of this specific policy? What types of disabilities or injuries does it cover? How much benefit can you expect to receive? Join on this week’s show as we answer these questions and talk about the safety net that disability insurance provides.

Episode 145: The ABCs of SRI and ESG (Socially Responsible Investing)

While SRI (Socially Responsible Investing) may seem like a new concept, it has actually been around for quite some time. Join us this week as we break down SRI, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing), and a lot of other acronyms. We’ll start the show with a list that honors Global Recycling Day: the best movies with an environmental focus. Then, we’ll define environmental-focused investing. Many people confuse SRI with ESG. While they fit within the same framework, they are actually two different things! Don’t miss this episode as we discuss investing with a clear conscience, the benefits and main concerns within these two investment areas, and the role a fiduciary has to his/her clients’ needs and desires. Since so much can be said about this topic, stay tuned for Part II where we discuss the different pros and cons of SRI and ESG!

Episode 144: Daylight Saving Dilemma

On March 12th, we will be moving our clocks an hour forward and, unfortunately, losing an hour of sleep. However, there is legislation that aims to eliminate this annual tradition of changing the clocks twice a year. Join us on this week’s show as we debate the pros and cons of Daylight Saving Time. We’ll start the show with a DST-themed TwitterNuggs, a segment we have sorely been missing. Then, we’ll discuss the history of this tradition of changing clocks, “locking the clock” legislation, and how doing away with DST may make for a more productive and better-rested population.

Episode 140: The Power of Pensions

Join us for this week’s episode all about pension plans. Katie and Cam will kick off the show with the list of the most heartwarming movies about retirement. Then, we’ll dive right into the topic of retirement plans.  Nowadays when you hear retirement plan you probably think of 401(k)s. They are well known, but they are not the only “game in town” so to speak. Pensions are not as popular as they used to be, but they are still around along with many other types of retirement plans that we have mentioned in the past. What differentiates a pension plan from a defined contribution plan? In the show, we’ll answer that question and discuss public vs. private pensions, the risks associated with having a company invest your retirement funds (as opposed to making the investment decisions for yourself), and the key differences between pensions and 401(k)s. At a fundamental level, what plans are available to you will play a massive role in what retirement will look like for you, so make sure you know your options, know the differences, and take advantage.
