Welcome to episode 76 of The Innovating Advice Show and to the return of our regularly scheduled episodes!
It feels great to be back.
As I mentioned in my slightly recent bonus episode, we’ve just moved across the country from sunny Las Vegas to sunny Southwest Florida. I do love my sunshine.
I’ve also just launched a brand new community, the IA Community, for forward thinking financial planners like you, and our 3-month Video Creation Masterclass that next kicks off the 1st of April.
Once you’ve enjoyed this great episode, you can learn more here.
In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Yan-Chatonsky, founder of Full Time Lives in Australia.
Natalie and her team work with financial planners to help change the conversation around retirement and help people build healthy, meaningful and connected lives after full-time work.
As we discuss, this process for full time living starts decades before retirement and is just as applicable to you as it is to your clients.
Listen on for Natalie’s 5 key ingredients for full time living and let me know which one you’re going to focus on this year.
