For whatever reason, and I guess it's a mental thing, it seems the vast majority of people are obsessed about paying off their mortgages. I happen to prefer my liquidity!

We start things off with Deborah from New Jersey who has the very familiar question of whether or not it makes sense to pay off the mortgage. It’s something Deborah and her husband disagree on, so who’s right and who’s wrong? I’ll be the judge of that!
Next was Linda in Minneapolis who unfortunately finds herself out of work a bit sooner than she anticipated. With that being said, she want’s to know if it makes sense to start taking Social Security early, or should she still wait and let in increase by about eight percent each year?
Networking has garnered a reputation as a sort of necessary evil in the modern business world. Some do relish the opportunity to boldly work the room, introduce themselves to strangers, and find common career ground, but for many others, the experience is often awkward, or even terrifying.
The common networking advice for introverts are variations on the theme of overcoming or “fixing” their quiet tendencies. But our latest guest, Karen Wickre, is a self-described introvert who has worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years.
In her recent book, Taking the Work Out of Networking: Your Guide to Making and Keeping Great Connections, she shows you how to embrace your true nature to create sustainable connections that can be called upon for you to get, and give, career assistance, advice, introductions, and lasting connections.
Karen’s “embrace your quiet side” approach is for anyone who finds themselves shying away from traditional networking activities, or for those who would rather be curled up with a good book on a Friday night than out at a party.
With compelling arguments and creative strategies, this new way to network is perfect not only for introverts, but for anyone who wants for a less conventional approach to get ahead in today’s job market.

For whatever reason, it seems like we’ve been getting a bunch of questions about paying off mortgages early. I get that people don’t like debt, especially when they’re heading into retirement, but sometimes there’s such a thing as good debt. That’s how we kicked off the latest show with George in Louisville.
Next up was Jerry from Michigan with another popular question: Should we start converting some of our traditional IRA assets into a Roth IRA?
In the post-fact, deeply divided world we live in, true persuasion is rare. Engaging with people holding differing opinions is rarer still. But for progress to take place, persuasion must happen.
Whether it's convincing an employer you are right for the job, a customer that your product is the best, or your closed-minded uncle that good people can disagree, it takes the art, and science, of persuasion to move forward.
So, how do you change someone's mind, or at least advance the conversation, when everyone is entrenched in their own points of view?
Our latest guest, communication expert Lee Hartley Carter, has spent nearly twenty years advising and helping the world's most well-known companies do just that.
Her first book, Persuasion: Convincing Others When Facts Don't Seem to Matter, covers all the secrets to persuading anyone, at work and in life.
Filled with researched insights into how we make up, and change, our minds, as well as colorful real-world examples and actionable recommendations, Persuasion will help you hone your message and craft your narrative in order to get heard and get results.
