## Resource

Retirement planning isn’t just a “someday” conversation—it’s a right now one. This week on the Simply Authentic Podcast , we’re joined by Brad Pistole, retirement specialist and owner of Ozarks Retirement Group in Ozark, Missouri, for a conversation everyone needs to hear—whether you’re 24, 54, or anywhere in between. Brad breaks down retirement planning in a way that’s practical, clear, and surprisingly empowering. We dive into his top five talking points when meeting with new clients, the biggest mistakes people make when planning for retirement, and how healthcare, taxes, and smart saving strategies all fit into the bigger picture. From 401(k)s to options for the self-employed, nothing is off the table. The biggest takeaway? Don’t wait. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, and the sooner you start planning, the better positioned you’ll be. As Brad says, it’s not how much you make—it’s how much you keep after taxes. This episode is packed with insight, encouragement, and actionable advice to help you take control of your financial future—starting today. You can contact Brad at 417-581-9222 or at brad@ozarksretirement.com . Or catch his radio show on Smart Money Radio. https://www.youtube.com/@SimplyAuthenticPodcast https://gatozarks.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100066937632311 https://simplyauthenticpod.com/
