Your 401(k) Might Be a Trap — Coach Pete’s “Glide Path” Plan Turns a Lump Sum into Paychecks for Life

2/21/2026
Coach Pete breaks down the real retirement problem nobody wants to admit: you’ve got a big “lump sum” on paper, but no clear way to turn it into reliable income you can’t outlive. He also goes hunting “financial termites” like fees, commissions, and too much risk — including a blunt warning about non-traded REITs where “up to 15%” can disappear in commissions right away. This episode also hits business-owner mistakes with CFP Sheridan Murphy — separating personal wealth from the business “baby,” building a real exit plan, and getting proactive on taxes instead of playing catch-up in February!
