Parker Holland break down why modern retirement looks less like “slowing down” and more like a second act—and why your money plan has to keep up.

You’ll also hear practical guidance on navigating new headlines (like prescription pricing changes), Social Security timing, and how to balance growth and protection when markets feel pricey.
