What if the real path to a “rich life” has little to do with income, markets, or spreadsheets and everything to do with how clearly you define the life you actually want to live?

In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Dan Pascone, founder of Tailored Wealth, to explore a planning philosophy built not around products or predictions, but around purpose, intentionality, and a deeply personalized definition of success.

Dan shares his journey from corporate executive to advisor and business owner, and how his own experiences shaped the unique model his firm uses today. You’ll hear why every great plan begins with clarity, why no two financial lives should ever look the same, and how executives and business owners can build freedom long before retirement ever arrives. Dan also introduces his hybrid-retirement framework, the power of tax-diversification, and why the right planning process helps people regain time, direction, and peace of mind.
