The Retirement Summit

Is the 60/40 portfolio outdated and why?

What happens after you sell the business or real estate that’s been funding your life for years? In part two of this tax‑strategy series, wealth advisor Shawn O’Keefe tackles the question every seller eventually faces: how to replace the “golden eggs” once the goose is gone. The conversation explores income creation after a liquidity event, the role of risk‑off and growth‑oriented assets, and why traditional stock‑and‑bond models may fall short for high‑net‑worth retirees. He also discusses the psychological shift from earning income at work to letting assets do the heavy lifting—and how intentional planning helps support both lifestyle and long‑term goals.

You Sold the Goose—Now Where Do the Golden Eggs Come From?

What if the real threat to your wealth isn’t market risk—but taxes you never planned for? In this episode of the Retirement Summit Podcast, Shawn O’Keefe unpacks how taxes quietly shape the outcome of selling a highly appreciated asset. From businesses and real estate to collectibles, they explore why many owners hesitate to sell, how deferred tax strategies work under existing tax code, and why planning before a sale matters.
