In this hard-hitting episode, Don and Tom expose “Retirement Planning University”—a slick, misleading marketing operation posing as a legitimate educational program. Despite hosting seminars at respected universities, the organization isn’t accredited and exists primarily to funnel attendees into high-commission indexed annuities sold by Strategic Wealth Investment Group. The duo break down the tangled relationships, the legal gray zones (including a likely violation of Florida law), and the wildly under-disclosed conflicts buried deep in Form ADV filings. Plus: a call from a skeptical listener about global diversification, a backdoor Roth update in response to H.R.1, a heartwarming tribute to Tom’s mother-in-law, and a brutal real-world annuity pitch targeting grieving beneficiaries.
