In this deeply personal episode of Wisdom to Wealth, Dr. Drew — The Retirement Professor — opens up about the life hurdles that shaped his mission to serve retirees with integrity, grit, and genuine care. From a childhood marked by family challenges and financial hardship to a record-setting career as a hurdler, Dr. Drew learned early that true wealth is more than money — it’s wisdom, resilience, and the courage to plan for the future you deserve.
You’ll hear how overcoming personal setbacks inspired his passion for helping retirees protect and enjoy the wealth they’ve worked so hard to build. Dr. Drew’s “Why” is a reminder that no matter your starting point, you can clear your own hurdles with the right guidance and strategies.
If you’re ready to move from worry to confidence in retirement, this episode will inspire you to see your wealth as more than numbers — it’s your legacy, your peace of mind, and your freedom to live fully.
Tune in, get inspired, and discover why Dr. Drew does what he does — for you.
