In this episode, we dive deep into: 

  • Planning for retirement: transitioning from accumulation to distribution
  • Understanding Roth conversions and their tax implications
  • Diversifying investments to manage risk and maximize returns
  • Protecting your retirement with a volatility shield


"Diversification, to me, also means that we have our assets segregated into a number of different buckets. Some of those are fully taxable, some of those are tax-deferred and taxable later, some of those are not taxable."  – John Ensley
