When a career ends without warning, long‑term plans suddenly feel impossible. In this episode of The Manumit Podcast, investment advisor Glenn Johnson unpacks what happens when layoffs hit near retirement and why the first step isn’t panic—it’s perspective. Using a powerful story about survival under fire, Glenn explains how mindset, preparation, and measured financial decisions matter most during unexpected disruption. The conversation explores emergency reserves, risk exposure, and the common mistakes people make when fear drives fast choices, offering a grounded look at how to navigate financial uncertainty without making it worse.
