    Episode #127: March MadnAIs

    Obviously, AI did not come up with the Pod headline, but it did assist with Dave’s NCAA pool selections. Steve decided to go “Au naturel”, using only brain power for his picks. Who will win? In other tech news, will AI crater the stock market, the job market, and humanity in general? “As long as I win my bracket!” is not the answer we’re looking for on episode #127 of Plan For Life Now.

    Episode #126: Only a Little bit of Coin is Left

    Even for seasoned Crypto investors who are used to the rollercoaster, the last six months of Bitcoin has been like Kings Dominion on steroids! That combined with the volatility of Gold and Silver made today’s episode a “State Of The Union” address on these Alternative investments. Also, in memoriam to what was The Washington Post, you’ll learn how Steve and Dave were almost the “Woodward and Bernstein” of the Northern Virginia high school journalism scene. Wow, you’re getting quite the diverse Pod on episode 126 of Plan For Life Now!

    2025 was one of the better years to be an investor, but what’s next for 2026?

    Episode #124: The AI Quandry

    Nothing screams “Past Performance Does Not Guarantee Future Results” like Artificial Intelligence stocks.

    Episode #123: Dave had a Dream

    Similar to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (With the exception of the topic, gravitas, historical context, speaking ability, and every other intellectual attribute you can possibly think of), Dave shares his own “ I Had A Dream” speech. Steve adds his financial tidbits and, somehow, Episode 123 of Plan For Life Now is a pretty good potpourri* podcast! *French word for “winging it”

    Episode #122: Summering at the Cambridge Conference

    Ever wonder what happens when a whole bunch of financial advisors get together for a 3 day conference? If you said, “Yes”, then you need to critically analyze your “Things To Wonder About” list. Having said that, Steve, Dave, and Amy* learned a lot at their Broker Dealer’s annual meeting at the Gaylord in National Harbor. We share all the information, stories, and helpful takeaways on Episode 122 of Plan For Life Now! *It only took Amy 122 episodes to be mentioned in the Pod summary. Now I have to figure out how to work her into episode 244.
