Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the world is watching the biggest energy supply shock in modern history unfold in real time. The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world's oil flows every day — is effectively closed. Oil has surged more than 40% from pre-war levels. And the Fed is stuck.
In this episode, we sit down with Professor David Gulley, Chair of the Economics Department at Bentley University, to make sense of what this moment actually means for your portfolio — and your financial plan.
What we cover:
The Hormuz shock: Why this oil disruption is unlike anything energy markets have seen before — and what $90+ oil means at the gas pump, in your grocery cart, and in your 401(k)
The Fed's impossible position: With inflation at 2.4% and the labor market weakening simultaneously, are we headed for a stagflation scenario — and how does the Fed fight a war it didn't start?
Gold vs. the Dollar: Why both are surging as safe havens, which one wins, and what that tells us about the shifting global monetary order
What investors should actually do: The case for staying the course, where the opportunities are, and why the U.S. economy has a long track record of coming out the other side
If you've got a knot in your stomach watching the headlines, this episode is for you.

Most people look at their job and just see a paycheck. But in this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on the wealth-generating strategies hidden right inside your benefits package.
 
Joining us is Ryan McDermott from Prism Benefits. Ryan is on a mission to stop the "GoFundMe" cycle of financial planning. When you realize that 60% of hard-working people can't swing a $1,000 emergency without a credit card, it’s clear something is broken. We’re breaking down how you can use "lawfully designed" benefits to bridge that gap and build real security.
 
What we’re talking about today:
The "Triple-Tax" Win: Why we’re obsessed with HSAs and how to stop being afraid of high deductibles so you can start building a healthcare war chest.
The Disability Trap: Don't let a "free" benefit from your boss become a tax nightmare later. We explain why a simple W2 "gross-up" is a game-changer for your protection.
Beyond the Basics: From "carve-outs" for high earners to why accident insurance is a must-have for the trades, we’re showing you how to stop leaving money on the table.
 
We’re also checking the pulse of the market: from the Supreme Court’s tariff shocker to why IBM just got hit by the "AI disruption" train "AI isn't coming for your job, but the person using AI might be."

Today, we’re thrilled to welcome back our good friend Matt Morizio to the show. We dive deep into the current state of the markets and tackle the big question: Is the traditional idea of retirement actually dead?
 
Lately, there has been a lot of "noise" out there from the so-called "SaaS apocalypse" to massive corporate spending on AI. We help you cut through that noise to focus on the signals that actually matter for your long-term portfolio.
 
In this episode, we discuss:
 
Market Volatility & AI: Why the current fear in the software sector might be an overreaction and how we are positioning clients to stay the course during the storm.
The Power of Roth Conversions: Bill and the team break down the mechanics of moving money from a traditional IRA to a Roth. We explain why paying taxes now can save you from a major government "swipe" during your golden years.
Strategic Timing: How to identify the perfect windows for a conversion like low-income years or the "gap" right after you retire.
The Psychology of "Work Optional": Matt shares why the traditional 40-year pension path is over, but why reaching a point where work is optional is the new gold standard.
 
Purpose Beyond the Paycheck: We talk about why your "Why" for retiring is usually a "Who," and how to avoid the "purpose vacuum" that many retirees face.
We also touch on the latest surrounding Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO and why he’s pivoting Tesla factories toward a robotic future.

This week we’re breaking down what’s actually going on with the latest tax changes, estate planning rules, all the noise around the markets and more importantly, how it impacts your money.
 
We’re joined by Kirk Holmquest from Holmquest Tax and Trust, along with Eric and Bill, to talk through what’s changed, what hasn’t, and where people tend to get caught off guard. Instead of getting buried in tax code or headlines, we focus on real-life scenarios and the decisions families, retirees, and business owners are facing right now.
 
We cover why a lot of people may see tax refunds this year, how deductions like SALT are opening back up for many households, and what’s changed for seniors and families with kids. 
 
Kirk walks us through why estate planning matters even if you’re nowhere near the federal estate tax limits, how state-level taxes can quietly create problems, and why trusts, portability, and proper account titling make a real difference for your heirs. We also talk about the importance of having your CPA, financial advisor, and estate attorney all on the same page, because when they’re not, things fall through the cracks.
 
In this episode, we cover:
What the latest tax changes mean for your everyday finances
How estate planning rules impact families and retirees
Why state estate taxes matter more than most people realize
Common planning mistakes that can cost your family money
Simple steps to stay proactive instead of scrambling later
 
Big thanks to Kirk for joining us and helping make a complicated topic a lot easier to understand.

This week on Wealth Wisdom, we’re digging into something a lot of business owners have been wondering about but maybe haven’t had the time (or patience) to fully unpack yet: the tax law changes coming in 2026 and what they actually mean for you.
We’re joined by Gary J. Marini, Managing Director at Peck Associates, who’s spent decades working side by side with founders, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses. Instead of getting lost in technical jargon, we focus on what’s really changing, what’s not, and where small business owners should actually be paying attention as these new rules start to take shape.
We talk through the big updates  like changes to the SALT deduction, what’s happening with the QBI deduction, and why the return of R&D expensing is such a meaningful shift for startups and innovation-driven companies. We also walk through how different business structures, S Corps, C Corps, and LLCs, are impacted, and why those differences matter if you’re thinking about growth, outside capital, or eventually selling your business.
From there, we zoom out and get practical. We cover how to think about estimated taxes and safe harbor rules, why having clean, up-to-date books makes planning so much easier, and how tools like HSAs, Solo 401(k)s, and Roth conversions fit into a longer-term strategy, not just this year’s tax return.
In this episode, we cover: • The tax law changes business owners should understand heading into 2026 • How SALT, QBI, and R&D updates can impact cash flow and your overall tax bill • S Corp vs C Corp vs LLC, and how to think about structure under the new rules • Common tax moves that sound good online but raise red flags in real life • Why steady, proactive planning almost always beats scrambling at the last minute
A big thank you to Gary Marini for joining us and bringing a clear, grounded perspective to a topic that can feel overwhelming. His insights help cut through the noise and give business owners a more confident way to think about planning for what’s next.

We’re starting the year by zooming out and taking an honest look at where the economy and markets stand as 2026 gets underway. And if the first week is any signal, there’s already a lot to unpack.
 
We talk through some of the stories shaping the early part of the year—what’s happening with housing and affordability, why mortgage rates are moving, what the latest jobs data may actually be telling us, and how energy prices and geopolitics are quietly influencing everything from inflation to investment strategy. AI is also front and center again, from the massive energy demands behind it to the companies driving the next phase of growth, including names like Nvidia, Tesla, and Eli Lilly.
 
This episode is about grounding. New years tend to bring bold predictions, loud headlines, and a lot of strong opinions. We focus instead on how we’re thinking about 2026 in real time, what deserves attention versus what’s just noise, and why staying patient and disciplined often matters more than trying to react to every market move. We also share some early expectations for the year and what we’ll be keeping an eye on as things develop.

We’re closing out the year with a 2025 market recap, because if you’ve been paying attention at all, you know this year didn’t exactly feel “quiet.”
 
We talk through the big moves and the big headlines, the inflation and rate talk, what the jobs numbers are really telling us, why oil prices mattered more than most people realized, and how AI keeps finding its way into basically every conversation about the economy. And yeah, we also hit some of the names that kept stealing the spotlight like Tesla, Amazon, and OpenAI, not just for the hype, but for what those stories might actually mean.
 
But the real reason we wanted to do this episode is simple. 2025 was one of those years that tests people. The market swings, the headlines get loud, and it’s really easy to start second guessing everything. So we get into the mindset piece, how we think about staying disciplined when it feels messy, why trying to jump in and out usually ends with regret, and how the moments that feel the worst in real time are often the ones you look back on as opportunities and we look ahead to 2026 and put some predictions on the record.

This week we take on a topic that affects nearly every couple at some point: money and marriage. It’s one of the most important — and often most difficult — conversations to navigate. Should couples keep finances completely separate, merge everything into joint accounts, or build a hybrid system that balances shared responsibility with personal autonomy?
 
We’re joined by Trisha Welsh, Certified Financial Planner at Fox Hill Wealth, who brings a practical, real-world perspective from working directly with couples on these decisions. Together, we walk through the most common financial setups couples use, why different models work for different relationships, and why trust and transparency matter far more than the specific account structure.
 
We also explore a dynamic that shows up in many households: while women often manage the day-to-day expenses, fewer are consistently involved in long-term planning and investing — even though women are statistically more likely to manage finances later in life. We talk through why that gap exists and what couples can do to make sure both partners stay informed and confident.
 
Along the way, we touch on current events shaping the financial landscape — including the Fed’s latest rate cut and other market headlines — before closing with clear, practical advice for couples who want to stay aligned and avoid financial surprises.
 
We get into:
The three most common approaches to managing money in marriage: fully merged, fully separate, and hybrid models
How trust and transparency influence long-term relationship outcomes
How couples navigate unequal incomes, parenting, and shifting household roles
Inheritance, assets brought into marriage, and when formal agreements may make sense
What “financial infidelity” looks like and why it matters
Why both partners should attend key meetings with financial advisors and estate planning professionals
Simple habits that help keep communication strong without turning finances into a source of conflict
A special thank you to Trisha for joining us and sharing her experience working with couples on some of the most important — and sensitive — financial decisions they’ll ever make. Her perspective added clarity, balance, and practical insight to a conversation that affects so many families.TIMESTAMPS:01:55 Breaking News: Streaming Wars and Market Moves

The market keeps hitting record highs — so should you actually be investing right now?
 
In this episode of Wealth Wisdom, we tackle one of the most common (and emotionally loaded) questions we hear: Is it too late to get into the stock market? We break down why waiting for the “perfect dip” usually backfires, how fear shows up during sudden drawdowns, and what a smart long-term strategy looks like when stocks feel expensive.
 
We also run through a handful of fast-moving headlines shaping sentiment right now — from a major streaming shakeup to the AI arms race heating up again — and bring it back to the core point: building wealth isn’t about nailing the perfect moment. It’s about staying invested, managing risk, and sticking to your plan when markets get noisy.
 
If you’ve been sitting on cash waiting for the “right time,” or you felt that gut-punch panic during the year’s biggest selloffs, this one will help you zoom out and make clearer decisions.
 
We get into: 📈 Why markets are often near all-time highs — and why that shouldn’t stop us ⏳ Time in the market vs. timing the market (and what history says about both) 🧠 The emotional side of investing — why we’re wired to make the wrong move at the worst time 🔄 Dollar-cost averaging vs. investing a lump sum 🧺 Diversification, valuation risk, and why being “all-in on tech” can be dangerous 💵 What weaker jobs data can mean for rate cuts — and why stocks sometimes rise on “bad news” 🤖 The AI race (Gemini vs. OpenAI), “code red,” and why there’s no loyalty in AI tools right now 🟦 Why Google remains a major long-term player — and where the real risks still show up (ads, downturns)

Gold is up more than 50% this year — so should you actually be buying it right now?
 
In this episode, we break down one of the weirdest stretches in the market we’ve seen in a while. NVIDIA delivered another monster earnings report, demand for AI chips looks stronger than ever, and yet… the stock still sold off. Then a jobs report hit, rate-cut expectations flipped almost instantly, and markets were all over the place.
 
Meanwhile, gold has quietly become the top performer of 2024. Central banks are loading up, the U.S. dollar is slipping, geopolitical tensions are rising — and a lot of investors are wondering whether this is a real long-term shift or just another spike driven by fear.
 
If you’re trying to make sense of gold’s 50% run and want a grounded look at whether it belongs in your portfolio heading into 2025, this episode’s for you.
 
We get into: 🥇 Why gold has surged 52% YTD — and what’s actually driving the move 💵 How U.S. debt, money printing, and dollar weakness factor into the story 🌍 The role China, Russia, India, and other central banks are playing 📉 Why crypto and other high-risk assets have been getting hammered 🤖 NVIDIA’s blowout quarter, AI demand, and the “AI bubble” debate 📊 What the latest jobs data means for rate cuts and the broader market 🔄 How to think about gold as part of a long-term wealth strategy
