Stig Nybo is not afraid to admit that he's made mistakes. He's also happy to have been part of a movement that improved the thinking around retirement savings.

Nybo, a keynote speaker at the Employee Benefit Plans Accounting, Auditing, and Regulatory Update, a Dec. 4-5 virtual event, co-wrote the book Transform Tomorrow: Awakening The Super Saver in Pursuit of Retirement Readiness.

In this episode of the JofA podcast, Nybo talks about finding passion at work, why attempts to fix things can lead to breaking other things, and the "entire ecosystem" that's aiming to drive better retirement-savings habits.

What you'll learn from this episode:

· The circumstances that led to Nybo co-authoring a book emphasizing saving for retirement.

· The 2019 JofA podcast guest that Nybo interviewed for his book.

· Why his message is about more than saving, creating retirement plans, or auditing such plans.

· Why he agrees with the words of Mark Twain when it comes to career choice.

· The issues Nybo and others aimed to fix related to retirement saving – and what got "broken" in that process.
