Is your retirement plan built to last, or to grow? 

In this episode, John Ripley breaks down the critical balance between risk and preservation, explaining why protecting what you’ve built can matter just as much as growing it. Drawing parallels between today’s market environment and the 1929 crash, marked by speculation, rapid innovation, and elevated valuations, he unpacks the warning signs investors shouldn’t ignore.

Ripley also reframes retirement planning around purpose, emphasizing strategies that support stability, income, and long-term peace of mind. Instead of chasing maximum returns, the conversation centers on building a plan that lets you create meaningful experiences and enjoy the life you’ve worked for without unnecessary financial risk.
