Read MoreIn this episode of Make The Dough Rise, we explore the critical yet often overlooked aspects of retirement planning—sequence of returns, long-term super cycles, and withdrawal rates.

Read MoreAre dividend stocks making a comeback? How will the tech sector impact the products you buy, but also the ones you invest in? And what challenges (or opportunities) exist in foreign markets? These are just some of the questions Brian will answer on today's episode as we look at 10 investment themes to keep an eye on for the remainder of 2022.
Read MoreYou've heard the advice before, and it makes complete sense. Buy low. Sell high. Duh. But hardly any of us successfully do it when it comes to investing in the market. The problem is that most of us let our emotions rule our decision making and we have no "sell discipline". As Brian tells us on today's show, it's only gotten worse with the improvements and advancements in technology over the years. With recent market volatility, it's a good idea for us to bring this topic back to the top of the stack and lean on Brian to remind us why it's always good to have a system in place and to listen to it during times of upheaval.

Read MoreWe're back to the alphabet soup we first started to explore in episode 22 of the show. On that episode we dove into financial terms like Alpha, Beta and Sigma. Today, our focus is on Gamma. And the major shift here is from focusing on specific investment measurements to truly trying to understand the additional value that a financial advisor brings to the table. How can a good financial advisor help you make good financial planning decisions and how can we measure that impact? We'll cover the five key indicators and factors that go into finding that value. There's a lot to unpack here, but that also means it's a great opportunity to learn something new. So grab a slice and lend an ear as we kick off the 25th episode of Make The Dough Rise!

Read MoreCertified Financial Planner Kerrie Debbs joins the show today to begin our two-part series on rules of thumb investors need to know.

Part 1 covers rules that are applicable to us during the accumulation phase of life, or pre-retirement. We'll cover the Rule of 72, Emergency Funds, and "buying on the dip".
Read MoreIf you're ever trying to diagnose an investment or look under the hood of your portfolio, you're likely to find lots of metrics that might feel an awful lot like (Greek) alphabet soup.

You'll learn about Alpha, Beta, Sigma, and Sharpe Ratios. Don't be intimidated by it all. As always, we'll make it easy to understand (well... at least we'll try).
