Welcome to the Retirement Income & Strategy Podcast. This show is for people who have done well financially but want more clarity and confidence as they move into retirement. The podcast is hosted by Tom Mullarkey, Certified Financial Planner and founder of Hive Retirement Planning.

Each week, we break down the retirement income, tax, and investment decisions that matter most once you stop working, so you can make smarter choices with your money and feel more confident about the years ahead.

In this first episode, we explain why retirement planning changes once the paycheck stops and what this podcast is designed to help you navigate. We talk about the most common questions retirees face, including how to turn savings into income, how taxes affect long-term outcomes, and how to make sure your financial decisions work together instead of in isolation.

This episode sets the foundation for everything that follows.
