I think that most small business owners would agree that the idea of passing on their business to the next generation or selling it to a trusted partner can be both exciting and daunting. A well-thought-out succession plan ensures that your business continues to thrive without you at the helm, and it's something you should start thinking about sooner rather than later. So Jay, I am going to lay out some of the most common ways to pass on business to the next generation, and discuss much more on this week's episode of Coasting in Retirement.

Episode 47: Slaying the Stock Market Boogey-Man

February 2, 2025 Wealth Management Financial Wellness Investment Management Investments Coasting in Retirement

On this week's episode of Coasting In Retirement, Josh discusses how, unfortunately, fear selling is used in his line of work. And more often than not, it’s fear-based selling intended to invoke a certain apprehension about the stock market in order to sell an insurance product. This episode is going to answer the question of how would selling the fear of the stock market help someone sell an insurance product. And in the process hopefully help you overcome your fear of stock market investing so that you aren’t leaving thousands of dollars of potential gains on the table and being steered into products that often benefit the insurance company and the selling agent more than you.

Today each of your hosts – Josh, Jay and Pedro, are going to talk about what we each learned in 2024, what we each think 2025 has in store for us. We intend to lean into with yet another opportunity ahead of us to intentionally shape our lives and the lives of those close to us. Do we have any regrets from this past year? Of course, and with this being an open and honest show, we’ll share some of them. Do we have concerns about the state of the world? I mean, as we record this, parts of California are literally on fire, our New Orleans family endured a terrible tragedy, there are so many things in the world to worry about. But part of my argument will be that in the history of mankind, there’s never been a better time to be alive than right now.
