Episode summary

Eleven thousand baby boomers turn sixty five every single day. The accumulation game is over for these clients. The new game is decumulation, and the wealth advisors who are answering retirement income questions out loud are pulling away from the ones who only answer them in spreadsheets.

Who this episode is for

This episode is for financial advisors and wealth teams who want their expertise to be easier to evaluate before a prospect books a call. If the problem in this conversation sounds familiar, the fix is not more random posting; it is a recorded point of view that can be reused across search, social, email, and sales follow-up.

In this episode, Nick Gaiski breaks down the largest retirement transition in American history and explains why recorded education has become the deciding factor in winning and keeping high net worth households.
