Today's episode covers a very new and revolutionary topic that applies some NEW ideas. For this reason, in today's story, Jay shares a how some seemingly silly brainstorming resulted in a real solution to power outages in Alaska. This story involves bears, honey, and helicopters. The lesson here in is how real solutions and progress can benefit from open-minded efforts to think critically even when an idea seems pretty out there.

The main topic explains a revolutionary new retirement distribution strategy - the Portfolio Waterfall! This is the brain child of the financial adviser, Josh Curtis. These results are ASTOUNDING! Can this strategy actually DOUBLE your income in retirement? Is the 4% rule history? Be sure to listen all the way through to fully understand the assumptions of this model.
