🏈 Don't fumble your retirement - get your financial game plan at http://bookachatwithjohn.net

Retirement planning isn't about flashy plays- it's about fundamentals. In this episode, John breaks down the "3 Factor Model," an investment strategy backed by decades of academic research. He explains how focusing on market exposure, small-cap stocks, and value companies can give investors a subtle but powerful performance edge over time.

Using football as a framework, John compares successful investing to building a winning team: it's about preparation, sticking to the game plan, and finding hidden advantages. You'll also hear why true diversification goes beyond owning a few mutual funds, and how index investing ("owning the whole haystack") helps reduce risk while increasing consistency. Above all, John drives home that patience, discipline, and smart execution- quarter after quarter- are what win championships in both football and finance.
