Economics with Eric

It is fairly common when talking about retirement for words like equity, bond, 401k, and Roth IRA to all be a part of the conversation. However, when the idea of insurance as one of the assets that can be used in planning, we often see a “skip in the record” in the client's mind. Inevitably, the next words that come out typically start with something like, “But I heard . . . . “. For whatever reason, insurance as an asset and a tool tends to come with a fair number of myths and half truths. In the next three episodes, we are going to walk through and debunk some of the most common myths about life insurance.

At the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs is this idea of self actualization or becoming your
best self. I believe this same progression exists in the hierarchy of wealth. At the bottom of
that hierarchy of wealth is putting food on the table, being a responsible adult, and not
living under a bridge with a bunch of cats when you are 80. At the top of that pyramid is a
very deep, existential question.
Join us as we talk with Ian Cron about one of the most critical and transformational
questions you can answer. What will your legacy look like? What makes you fulfilled, what
is your purpose beyond survival, and what do you hope to leave to the next generation. As
each type is able to articulate what that looks like, it can provide tremendous clarity when it
comes to how to build and structure wealth.

How do I show up for healthy dialogue with my partner?
In my short time on this planet I have come across a few universal truths. One of the more painful truths . . . the one common denominator in all my tense conversations . . . is me.
Last week we talked about how to approach your partner when it comes to making
big life and money choices. This week we flip the script and talk about the best way to "show up" for those same conversations so you get more accomplished.

In the last two weeks we have been walking through a primer on the Enneagram system.
Today we get into the meat of it and start walking through how our personality effects our
ability to create wealth.
Today's episode is about motivation. What drives us and how do those motivations effect
our appetite for risk, safety, growth, and a host of other key aspects of building wealth.
