In this episode of the Freedom and Prosperity Podcast, host Desi Arnaz sits down with Matt Ruttenberg, 401(k) specialist and co-owner of Life Inc. Retirement Services, to reveal the surprising flexibility and opportunities hidden inside retirement plans — especially for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

From custom-built plans to tax strategies and self-directed investing, Matt shares how 401(k)s can go far beyond the “cookie-cutter” options most people are used to. Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, running a growing company, or looking for new ways to invest through your retirement account, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s truly possible.

Key takeaways from this episode include:

  • Why not all 401(k)s are created equal — and how to customize one for your needs.
  • How business owners can offer retirement plans that attract and retain top talent.
  • Strategies for using your 401(k) to invest in real estate, private lending, cryptocurrency, and more.
  • The difference between IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and employer-sponsored plans.
  • How the right structure can lower your taxable income and accelerate wealth-building.

Matt also explains how entrepreneurs can design plans that benefit themselves and their employees — while staying compliant and maximizing flexibility.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
