Building wealth requires so much work and effort, yet history shows how quickly it can disappear once it changes hands. Families don’t lose money because they don’t care, but because the next generation often receives assets without having any context, preparation, or guidance.

In this episode of Dime After Dime, the conversation centers on wealth stewardship and why it goes beyond basic financial literacy. The team explores how family meetings, early education, structured trusts, and advisor involvement can be practical ways for families to prepare heirs to manage, protect, and grow what they’ve built. Join them for a candid look at inheritance, behavior, expectations, and the responsibility that comes with carrying a legacy forward.

For decades, global investing followed a familiar playbook. Open trade, stable supply chains, and a U.S.-centered growth engine made international exposure feel optional for many investors. That backdrop is changing.

In this episode of Dime after Dime, Anthony sits down with Charles Chesebrough Jr., CFA, to talk through what today’s shifting global power dynamics actually mean inside a real portfolio. They explore how rising geopolitical tension, de-globalization, and currency moves are reshaping international investing, why emerging markets still matter despite the risks, and how long-term investors can think about diversification without reacting to every headline.

Healthcare is becoming one of the fastest-growing costs retirees face, and the numbers surprise almost everyone, so this time, host Anthony Stich sits down with Aaron Simpson, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®, RICP® and Senior Vice President at Moran Wealth to explore what drives those costs higher, why inflation hits healthcare differently, and how retirees can prepare for expenses that shift dramatically across the go-go, slow-go, and no-go years.

Aaron takes a look at the items that strain a retirement budget, like hearing aids, prescriptions, long-term care, and income-adjusted Medicare premiums. He also explains how tools like HSAs, strategic withdrawals, and early planning help create healthier financial flexibility later in life. If you’re trying to understand how healthcare fits into a long-term plan, this episode brings clarity to a topic that affects every retiree.

Rebalancing sounds simple until you’re the one facing volatile markets, unexpected tax consequences, and the emotional roller coaster that pushes investors to react at the worst possible moments. In this conversation, our host Anthony Stich sits down with Julie Rich, a seasoned advisor with more than 20 years of experience, to explore why rebalancing is less about timing and more about understanding your allocation, your behavior, and your long-term plan. 

Julie explains how portfolios drift over time, why discipline outperforms instinct, and how taxes, asset placement, and account type shape every rebalancing decision. She shares historical lessons from the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID, offering a grounded perspective that helps investors stay focused even when markets feel uncertain.

Legacy often gets framed in financial terms, but for Tom Moran, AIF®, this conversation starts earlier than any estate document or tax strategy. 

Tom shares how philanthropy became part of his family’s rhythm, why many families choose to introduce giving earlier, and how advisors can help create space for more open conversations about goals and values.

Host Anthony Stich and Tom discuss common charitable planning options like donor-advised funds and charitable trusts, and broader multi-generational planning themes. 

The focus stays on purpose, relationships, and the long-term impact families hope to have. 

You’ll hear perspectives on involving children sooner, how giving can influence the way families relate to money, and what it can look like to shape a legacy that reflects values as well as resources.

Running a business takes everything you’ve got: the focus, the long hours, the drive to make it work. But at some point, almost every owner starts thinking about what comes next.

In this episode, host Anthony Stich sits down with Don Drury, President of Moran Wealth Management®, to talk about the right way to approach a business sale or succession.

They discuss why starting early can make or break your exit, how partnerships and family transitions shape the process, and what to consider when working with private equity or third-party buyers. Don also shares the emotional side of stepping away, and what it means to redefine purpose, rebuild structure, and plan for life after ownership.

If you’ve built something that matters and want to protect its value when it’s time to move on, this episode offers insight worth listening to.

Inflation is back in the spotlight, reshaping how investors think about everything from groceries to retirement portfolios. In this episode of Dime After Dime, host Anthony Stich welcomes Charles Chesebrough Jr., CFA, to explore how inflation and market volatility are testing investor discipline in new ways.

Buying a home was once a milestone and a retirement plan in itself, but today, the decision is way more complex. In this episode of Dime After Dime, host Anthony Stich sits down with Julie Rich to dig into the crossroads many face: renting versus buying, and whether paying off a mortgage early makes financial sense.

Julie shares why housing choices today are rarely straightforward. Renting can mean flexibility, while owning offers stability and equity, and the decision to pay off a mortgage carries both financial and emotional weight. Her perspective helps you think about what truly fits your stage of life and goals, rather than just the math.

When most people think about investing, they picture the familiar mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. But there’s a wider world out there that has historically been reserved for the wealthiest investors and big institutions. In this episode of Dime After Dime, we open the door to alternatives and explore why more individuals are adding them to their portfolios.

Don Drury, President of Moran Wealth Management®, shares his perspective on what makes alternatives valuable, from private equity and real estate to more specialized opportunities. He explains how they can bring diversification, stability, and even protection against impulsive decisions, while also walking through the risks and liquidity challenges every investor should weigh carefully.

We wrap with a look back: what Don would tell his younger self about risk, timing, and the choices that can shape a lifetime of financial outcomes.
