When headlines scream chaos, it’s easy to assume volatility is the enemy—but that thinking can be misleading. In this episode, Jon Hicks discusses how economic shocks, rising oil prices, and nonstop news cycles affect retirement planning and investment decisions.

Jon also shares historical examples and common-sense perspectives on managing risk, opportunity, and decision-making as retirement approaches.
