Market volatility, AI-fueled stock hype, and retirement anxiety collide in this conversation with Mark Cordner. The episode explores why retirement planning must shift from growth to income, especially in the critical years surrounding retirement. Mark explains how diversification goes beyond stocks and bonds, why every dollar needs a purpose, and how protected assets can reduce risk when markets turn against you. From “cash stuffing” mindsets to structured investing, the discussion reframes retirement as a season of intentional income, preservation, and freedom—so money supports life, not the other way around.
