Leaving full-time employment to enter retirement often requires a 180-degree change in mindset and behavior from the way you managed your time and money previously. This is especially true for Baby Boomers who may have never experienced adult life without a full-time job and have been practicing the same habits since their 20s. These life transitions can be looked at as if they require flipping a switch. Some changes happen suddenly like an on/off switch, while others happen over time like a dimmer switch. Some switches are voluntary like spending accumulated savings, while some are mandatory like taking required minimum distributions starting at age 72. And to make matters more confusing, there are also lifestyle and social changes to consider as well.

Flipping a Switch discusses 35 financial, lifestyle, and social transitions you'll encounter upon entering retirement, including:

  • Full-time work to new pastimes

  • Saving money to spending money

  • Receiving a paycheck to creating a paycheck

  • Funding retirement savings plans to taking required minimum distribution withdrawals

  • Accumulating possessions to downsizing

Everyone has unique switches to flip. Flipping a Switch: Your Guide to Happiness and Financial Security in Later Life offers important information and guidance new retirees need before undertaking their new life. Each chapter includes a How to Flip This Switch section with suggested action steps. Nationally known speaker, author, and Certified Financial Planner ® Dr. Barbara O'Neill will help you develop a plan to become your best future self.

What is Your Zone of Genius? with Lisa Crilley Mallis

Every week it's my goal to share a story of someone's journey through their life and financial vineyard. We take you from their roots to the journey of their vines and the influences in the air that have helped craft their delicious lives. Like wine, life and finances have different palettes that should be celebrated and not judged. 

We welcome you to this edition of Wine and Dime where we speak with Lisa Crilley Malice. 

Lisa is a time strategist and lord knows we all need more time in our day! What we didn't talk about in the podcast and have in the show notes, is that Lisa is going to be releasing her own podcast called “The 25th Hour”, with the idea that we all need that extra hour every day, and how do we come up with it!

We hope you enjoy this show and just remember life is about events supported by your dollars and cents. So, sit back, grab your favorite beverage and find your “zone of genius”!


Lisa.jpg

Lisa Crilley Mallis

Lisa is the owner of Impactive Strategies, she is a time strategist, recognized for providing practical solutions to everyday productivity challenges. A certified coach, trainer, and facilitator, Lisa works with financial advisors and their teams who are working hard to succeed and still want to achieve more. She knows that “one size fits all” does not apply when it comes to getting the most out of your day with ease. Using her fifteen years in education, a master’s degree from Ursuline College, and multiple coaching certifications, Lisa supports clients with customized tools to achieve more while working less. 

Lisa believes in two solid life lessons: 

Life lesson 1 - Just because you are good at it doesn’t mean that is what you are meant to do.

Life lesson 2 - if it is easy for you, it isn’t easy for everyone.

Lisa’s Process

  • What do you really want to do - what is their zone of genius?

  • What is it that you don’t want?

  • Building your day around your strengths

  • Implementation of a habit - putting the structure in your day to create success

  • How to grow your business through the right delegation (six levels of delegation)

  • According to Robert B. Maddux (in Delegating for Results), you can delegate to an employee or volunteer using 6 different levels.

  • Level I – Look into the situation, get all the facts and report back for instructions.

  • Level II – Identify the problem, determine several solutions and the pros and cons of each, recommend one for approval and wait for instructions.

  • Level III – Examine the matter, send word on what you intend to do, take no action until you get the go ahead.

  • Level IV – Decide on a strategy, send word of what it is, and take action unless you hear otherwise.

  • Level V – Take action on this matter and report back on what you did and how it turned out.

  • Level VI – Take action, no further communication is necessary. The assumption is that it’s been handled.

Ice Wine.png

Winner of the 2017 Jefferson Cup for Dessert Wines!

Best Ice Wine, 2018 New York Wine ClassicHarvested in the deep of winter and pressed from grapes frozen on the vine, this genuine ice wine is a genuinely rare treat. It is filled with flavors of rich honey, sweet apricot and exotic fruit flavors. Delicious with a range of desserts. Absolutely wonderful all on its own.

Hunt Country Vineyards is the oldest continuous producer of ice wine in the United States; we produced our first batch of ice wine in 1987. Crafted in the tradition of a German “eis wine”, the Vidal grapes are left on the vines deep into the winter. We wait for the fruit to freeze solid and then early one morning — before the temperature rises above 15° F in the vineyards — we pick the grapes by hand. The frozen grapes are then pressed for many hours to get a small quantity of intensely flavored juice which concentrates sweetness, flavors and acidity. The resulting wine is deep gold in color and filled with flavors of rich honey, sweet apricot and exotic fruit.

Life Goes On Financial Road Map with Nancy Juetten

Nancy grew up in the shadows of her family limelight, as the daughter of an actor.  She didn’t necessarily realize it, but she was seeking her own individual recognition (don’t miss the “how many likes does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop!).

She became a publicist focused on helping other people get recognized, until the great recession, this challenge forced her (or should I say dared her) to pivot and use those skills at an even grander level and she created a book about how to change bio’s (Bye-Bye Boring Bio Workbook).

This was just the launching pad, including her Life Goes On Road Trip organization program that makes organizing your finances a bit like a treasure hunt, adding an element of fun.

Nancy Juetten

Nancy Juetten guides families to organize their personal financial information and crucial documents before something random or crazy can stop them.  The co-creator of the Life Goes On Roadmap® system for personal financial information organization, Nancy is on a mission to touch and transform a million lives by guiding them to take one of 16 essential road stops, one 20 minute segment at a time.  This brings power, access and control when the moments matter the most and makes dealing with a bump in the road just a little bit softer for all. Nancy writes a column for the popular Sixty and Me blog site that serves 500,000 women aged 60 and better. Her system is sold individually to homeowners, downsizers, and families across the country from the website, and professional service providers can license and co-brand the system to share with their most valuable clients. She has addressed appreciative audiences at the Garrett Planning Network Annual Retreat, virtual women’s groups, and podcasts such as the Legacy Cafe Podcast, the Conscious Caregiver, and now – Wine and Dime

Before starting Life Goes On Roadmap in 2018, Nancy launched and grew a successful business coaching practice to guide experts, authors, and speakers to get known and get paid for their expert status by getting ready for opportunity first. In 2009, she  wrote the popular Bye-Bye Boring Bio Workbook that is still a go-to source to guide users to transform their boring bios from wallpaper to wow to attract clients now.  When life hit the fan for her – with a home burglary, a move to a new city, her mom’s diagnosis with dementia, and her husband suffering a mini-stroke in the middle of the night -- Nancy’s preparation for real life paid off with less drama, trauma, and chaos in the clutch moments. With Life Goes On Roadmap®, she guides her clients to welcome those priceless benefits that are more relevant than ever in the era of the COVID 19 Pandemic. Nancy is quick to say that keeping your head in the sand is a dis-empowering place to stand. The best time to get your act together is right now.

Terri is a Master in Counseling Psychology, Family Mediator, Coach, and Facilitator specializing in supporting families in transition, in-person or online. As a certified IPEC and Better Apart coach, Terri guides individuals facing stressful family changes caused by separation, divorce, and re-partnering to a place of ease and harmony through co-parent education, conflict management, and communication skills. Terri is a presenter at the Kids First Center and Maine Divorce Workshops. 

Terri has attained her Master in Counseling Psychology, Coaching Certificate from iPEC, and Certificate in Family Mediation and has applied this to her calling to support families in transition.  She didn’t grow up in a hallmark card family by any means.  At a young age, Terri was a child of divorced parents, and the divorce was not “friendly.”  Her mom and brother left the household with just the things they could fit in the car.

This childhood experience left a lifetime impression on Terri and she utilized her skills to help other families have a healthier co-parenting experience during and after divorce, with special attention to the experience of the child.

She also has a passion to help others in blended families (or new modern family) through step-family coaching and her volunteer work at the Kid’s First Center.

The Sorceress - Sleight Of Hand.JPG

The 2017 Sorceress is 100% Grenache from two truly spectacular vineyards. It is 68% from Upland Vineyard and 32% from French Creek Vineyard. This vintage of the Sorceress was aged for 16 months in all French oak barrels (mostly puncheons). The wine saw mostly neutral oak (only about 20% new French oak), and the final blend includes about 45% whole cluster, foot-stomped bunches. The resulting wine is exotic and aromatic. It presents with classic Grenache notes of garrigue, allspice, dark cherries, tobacco, and strawberries; all of which is backed up by fresh acidity, and a long, lingering finish highlighting the refined tannins and brightness of this great wine. This vintage is age-worthy and will continue to develop over the next decade.


Our Feature - Prejean - Cab Franc

Aromas of berry and plum and a warm, lingering finish. A great addition to hearty dishes.

prejean-cabernet.png

At Prejean Winery, we honor the tradition of winemaking that has been handed down for almost a thousand years. Prejean Winery grows grape varieties that originated in Europe; such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Chardonnay. Our Gewurztraminer, planted in 1979, is a mouthful in more ways than one. It is grown in the Alsace region of France. Riesling, also grown in France, but known predominantly in Germany, is now the Finger Lakes’ signature grape variety. Our Dry Riesling has just won the Double Gold Winner in the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. At Prejean Winery, we honor the tradition of winemaking that has been handed down for almost a thousand years.

From NFL Player to Money Coach with Jedidiah Collins

Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dime with Amy Irvine. In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with Jedidiah Collins. Jed grew up in a household of three brothers and one sister. He then became an NFL player, and was traded 12-times during that journey. Luckily, it was early on in his career he realized that he needed to Pivot his Relationship with Money. This journey then led him to becoming a financial planner and attain his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER Designation.

Jed and I share in the mission to get education into the high school systems! Jed has created a tool called “Your money vehicle” The first 10 questions to ask on their journey, it is a 10 week financial literacy course that contains 35 short videos.  

You’ll hear about the 30-day financial literacy challenge (30 NFL players) coming out in July.

This was an incredible conversation with someone who shares my passion about financial education and literacy. So sit on back, enjoy your favorite wine, and enjoy the show!

Jed Collier

Jed was born the fourth of five children in San Juan Capistrano, CA.

During his time in high school he experienced an Orange County Record 41 wins in a row at Mission Viejo High School.

During his time in college he enjoyed the challenges of being a student athlete as he pursued an Accounting Degree from Carson College of Business, Washington State University (Go Cougs!)

During his time in the National Football League (NFL), Jed went from Undrafted Free Agent to the top rated Fullback, while learning from a dozen different locker rooms along the way.

During his time studying for the Certification in Financial Planning (CFP), Jed became an expert in personal finances.

Financial education is now a necessary skill for survival.

Why empowerment and education? Because education without action fails! So, now what? Your parents likely didn’t face this issue, and you weren’t taught personal finance in school. Where are you supposed to learn how money works? More importantly, how to make money work for you?

On the verge of receiving your first paycheck or laying out your financial plan, you need to know what to do, what not to do, and where your money is supposed to go. Jedidiah Collins faced the same dilemma when he was handed his first paycheck as an NFL player. The idea of planning for his long-term financial security was the last thing on his mind.

In Your Money Vehicle, Jedidiah unwraps the complicated language of money into short, digestible stories that give you the clarity it took him years to find. You’ll walk through ten questions designed to start you on your financial journey and receive guidance on how to get started with cash management, taxes, investments, and more as you create your personal plan. You’ll walk away with the skills to make money work for you and help others do the same!


ROOKIE TO VETERAN PODCAST

ABOUT THIS PODCAST

rookie-to-veteran-vMy-HCEflj7-5p86PI2UJoB.1400x1400.jpg

Good artists borrow, Great artists steal. In Rookie to Veteran we steal success each and every week!
We will approach each topic and guest with a beginners mind, the Rookie mindset. It will be our challenge to use what we learn to close the gap between where we stand today and the goals we have set for ourselves. This phantom gap is our potential.
After traveling through locker rooms in the NFL and hundreds of board room in business, I have come to realize what I do best is take from the best.
Come steal the behaviors of the best and Eliminate your Potential!!


D2.png

D2 offers abundant dried cranberry and raspberry aromas surging from the glass, with intertwined darker fruits notes of cassis, blueberry, and blackberry. Delicately balanced oak influence contributes cocoa and coffee bean notes while remaining completely respectful of the fruit.  This appealing wine is vibrant and extraordinarily fresh on the palate, with persistent fruit flavors of pomegranate and blueberry. Understated and subtle tannin provides welcome structure, while excellent early integration offers accessibility, generosity and abundant pleasure despite the wine’s youth.


Prejean Winery
Featured Finger Lakes Winery

Prejean Winery grows grape varieties that originated in Europe: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay. Europe, and generally the French model, was the foundation of the modern wine industry. The regions defined the wines. Bordeaux and Burgundy and Champagne are regions, as well as wines. Each of these regions has grapes that are indigenous to these regions. Bordeaux, for example, grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet France, Petite Verdot and Malbec and the wines of Bordeaux are blends, in varying amounts, of these grape varietals. This is the tradition that has been handed down, in some case, for almost a thousand years. But the New World locations had no such history or wine regions – they were blank slates. Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted throughout every major wine region and in some cases have become commodities.

The Finger Lakes, while being an older (New World) region in many ways, is also quite young, too young to have a regional identity tied to specific grapes. But the pioneers of the Finger Lakes wine region had the European example and the most exportable aspect was the varietal. The varietal became the focal point, rather that the region.

The Intersection of Wine, Integrative Medicine, and Finance with Nancy Stabins

In the episode of Wine and Dime I chat with Nancy Stabins. Nancy is the Regional Vice President of the American Wine Society. Is it any surprise that I asked her to be on the show?! Talk about doing what you love and love what you do...Nancy and her husband (a wine judge) have explored the world through their passion for wine. Although Nancy and I geek out about wine, we also explore how Nancy, who is an RN, turned her son’s diagnosis at a young age into a successful integrative medicine business. My favorite quote from this recording is, “May we never know the disease we prevent.”


Nancy Stabins.png

Nancy is trained as an RN and has certifications in Natural Health Care and Homeopathy. She is a Loomis Digestive Enzyme Specialist. She became interested in complementary health methods because of medical concerns with her own children. Nancy has been working in the health care industry for over thirty years and started Natural Alternatives, Inc. in 1995. Nancy specializes in Energetic Health assessments using EAV (Electro Acupuncture according to Voll), homotoxicology, digestive issues and basic nutrition.  She taught for 10 years through Trinity School of Natural Health. She is President and owner of Natural Alternatives, Inc.

Services offered by Nancy include:


Wines talked about in the episode:

Nancys Pick.jpg

Nancy -

Domaine Du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-Du-Pape La Crau

Bright ruby. Lively, musky aromas of red berries, cherry, anise, earth and spices, augmented by hints of lavender and resin. Energetic, focused redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show good definition and pick up minerality with air. Taut on the back end, finishing with solid grip and very good, tangy persistence.

Amys Pick.png

Amy -

Lake Kueka Red Blend

This craft-vinted blend of vinifera grape varieties exhibits flavors of ripe flavors of raspberry and plum; accented by hints of spice and soft tannins on the finish.

Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dine with Amy Irvine. In this edition, you will hear some really unique combinations that are taking place out of a new business idea by somebody I met in a Facebook group that I belong to. Krystina Benedetti is amazing in what she is starting in her particular experience through Covid-19. The dream that has become very clear to her and how she's taking a normally hands-on experience, and taking it virtually. 

Be sure to listen all the way to the end where you can find out information on how to reach out to Krystina and get more information about her virtual cookie ice night. Of course there must be a little bit of wine involved here, so sit on back, grab your favorite glass of wine, and enjoy this show with Krystina.

Highlights:

  • Want a two hour break from being (fill in the blank) - Krystina is following her dream to combine cookies, icing, and wine….oh my!

  • Amy and Krystina talk about how the experience of being isolated during COVID-19 helped Krystina discover her passion, create her own company, and ultimately bring people together. After listening to this podcast, you will want to get your girlfriends together and host a Virtual cookie ice night!

Wine:  Amy: Bully Hill Cabernet Franc

CABERNET FRANC

bottle-cabfranc.png

Cabernet Franc, one of the three pillars of the classic Bordeaux blend, has proven itself as a solid producer in the Finger Lakes wine region of New York.  A lot of wineries prefer this as their staple red vinifera due to the vines shorter ripening period and cold tolerance.  The key to making a fine Cab Franc starts in the vineyard.  Pick too early and the wine will have an unsavory green bell pepper characteristic; pick to late and the fruit will be unsound leaving the winemaker rushing to stabilize the wine from spoilage.  

Bully Hill makes a downright tasty Cab Franc with the grapes being sourced from Seneca Lake.  The current 2013 vintage was fermented in Redwood open top fermenters for maximum tannin and color extraction.  Once finished and pressed off, we fill up oak casks down in the cellar to bring this fine wine to fruition.   We do small lot production of 500 cases a year and thanks to our happy herd of customers this wine sells out annually!

Based on the author’s twenty-five years of experience in the trenches, not just of investment management but also of private and public accounting, this book educates the reader about wealth management and offers useful tools that can be used to make our financial lives more organized.

Echo Huang pulls back the curtain on the wealth management profession as a whole and shows you how to make it work for you, as well as whom and what to trust, who should be on your team, and how they should be working together in a holistic way to help you reach your financial independence day.
