Josh is joined by Jay Stubbs this week as they discuss the 3 risks that your portfolio can't outrun. They are more personal and for the most part are choices you can make in your financial plan to reduce or eliminate the impact.
On this week's episode, Josh and Michelle talk the hot topic in the retirement planning space, Roth Conversions. Mistakes in a Roth conversion can cost an investor thousands of dollars, and as with most things their industry, there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Do I need life insurance in retirement? Most of us carry some type of life insurance during our working years to replace the catastrophic loss of income to our surviving dependents if we prematurely pass away. But what if the kids are grown, the debt is paid, and our surviving spouse has plenty of assets and income to financially survive the passing of a loved one?
The title of today’s episode is “How to Avoid Financial Advisor Fraud”. And we are going to expand that to include investment managers and hedge fund managers – basically anyone that manages other people’s money. In this episode we are going to detail some of the boxes you want to check with anyone with which you wish to invest, and discuss the red flags to look for, some obvious, some not so obvious, unless you know the business well.
Today Josh is going to translate our different financial investment roller coaster approaches to how investors view the stock market. He is also going to explain a concept for those of you, that are like him and don’t care for roller coasters, especially those of you that don’t think you can stomach the extreme ups and downs of recent stock market volatility. There is a concept in the investing world called “Fear of Missing Out”, commonly known as FOMO. The Oxford dictionary defines FOMO as “anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere”, with the implication that you are missing out. The bad side of FOMO can lead to impulsive decisions by investors because they see people. Josh and Michelle will go through how to handle every financial FOMO on this week's episode.
