Future Planning: Are You Preparing Your Clients To Live Past 100? With Ric Edelman (Ep. 410)

Innovations are radically increasing life expectancy. If you’re alive in 2030, odds are good that you’ll live to be 100 or older. 

Are you planning enough years for your clients? Most advisors aren’t. 

In this episode, Matt Halloran talks to Ric Edelman, the most acclaimed financial advisor in the U.S., about longevity. Ric urges you, and all advisors, to consider how longer living demands an updated approach to financial planning. Plus, you’ll hear why advisors can’t ignore crypto anymore, what it’ll take for advisors to remain viable in the industry over the next 20 years, and how Ric has grown an audience of fans without having to become a marketer.

Ric discusses:

  • What he’s done right to become one of the most influential people in the financial planning and investment management profession
  • Why the “who you know” adage is dead wrong when it comes to growing influence
  • The cost of carrying on with outdated financial planning practices (including projections) as human life expectancy soars
