6 min - Fiscal Fridays Is Here: A Live Retirement Show Like Nothing You've Seen Before
Tomorrow morning at 10:30 AM in Scottsdale, Arizona, we're doing something we've never done before: launching a live retirement show called Fiscal Fridays.
David Schaeffer, who founded American Retirement Advisors over 25 years ago, is stepping in front of the cameras with veteran advisor David Edge for the premiere episode. The show features live retirement planning diagnostics, David's "Three Colors of Money" framework, audience Q&A with no screening, and a celebration segment where audience members share personal wins.
In this episode, we talk about how Fiscal Fridays came together, what the dry run taught us, and why being in the room matters more than watching from your couch.
