The Carson Group’s Jamie P. Hopkins is a busy guy. A nationally recognized writer and researcher who frequently speaks at events around the country, Jamie is the Managing Partner of Wealth Solutions at the Carson Group, and he’s also a Finance Professor at Creighton University’s Business School. On top of that, he’s got a new book this month, “Find Your Freedom: Financial Planning for a Life on Purpose.”

We wanted to get his take on why he wrote the new book along with Ron Carson, but of course, while we had a few minutes with him we also wanted to get his take on some other hot-button issues facing the retirement industry right now, such as the recent midterm election and what he thinks might be the most impactful provision of pending SECURE 2.0 legislation (and why we’re not ready for it).
