The way we think about money and retirement, is fundamentally broken.
In this episode of Your Ultimate Life, Kellan Fluckiger sits down with Dr. Matt Markel for a powerful, data-backed conversation about wealth, careers, and the myths that leave millions financially unprepared.
They explore why traditional retirement models fail, why companies avoid talking about money, and why financial education (not motivation) is the missing link.
