    Lockheed Martin's Bonus Overhaul: 100% RSUs — What You Must Know

    Lockheed Martin changed its executive bonus structure from 75% RSUs and 25% cash to 100% RSUs. That shift reduces liquidity, creates new tax-timing challenges, and increases concentration risk in company stock. This episode breaks down the implications for taxes and portfolio risk, and outlines practical planning steps—liquidity strategies, tax-aware selling, and diversification—to help executives protect their finances. Lockheed Martin Employees | What the New 100% RSU Bonus Means for You In this episode of BA Podcast Guys, host Robert Lovaglio sits down with Michael Allen, CFP® and Stephen Young, CFP® to discuss a major compensation change affecting Lockheed Martin employees: bonuses moving from a mix of cash and RSUs to 100% restricted stock units. This change may look simple on the surface, but it can create real planning challenges around taxes, liquidity, stock concentration, and long-term financial decisions. Michael and Stephen break down what Lockheed Martin employees should understand about RSU vesting, when to sell or hold company stock, how taxes can be impacted, and why having a clear financial plan matters more than ever. The conversation also covers the risks of building too much exposure to one company stock, how emotional investing can affect decision-making, and why proper tax sequencing may help high-income employees avoid costly mistakes. Whether you are a Lockheed Martin manager, director, executive, or employee receiving RSUs, this episode offers practical insight into how to approach the new bonus structure with more confidence.

    In this episode of the BA Podcast Guys, host Robert Lovaglio sits down with Dan Laforest, Senior Financial Advisor at SFM, to discuss an important but often avoided topic: family conversations around estate planning, retirement, and financial preparedness.

It is about giving your family peace of mind, reducing uncertainty, and making sure the people you care about know what to do when the time comes. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Timestamps: 00:00 – Estate Planning Problems Families Face 00:48 – Changing Family Dynamics 01:41 – Peace of Mind and Unknowns 01:57 – Regret After Family Conflict 02:31 – Asking Clients Their Greatest Fears 02:40 – Finding Accounts After Loss 03:07 – Starting the Family Conversation 03:55 – Bringing Children Into the Plan 04:18 – Financial Advice Disclaimer ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📈 Welcome to Best Advice Podcast Guys!
