When the markets crashed in early 2020, many retirees didn’t panic because of poor planning — they panicked in spite of strong plans.

In this thought-provoking webinar, Ethan Lohr, CFP® shares how the uncertainty of the pandemic revealed a critical flaw in traditional retirement planning: while sophisticated projections and Monte Carlo simulations satisfy logic, they often fail to support the emotional weight clients carry into retirement.

Ethan will walk us through The Four Buckets Framework, a modernized income planning approach built to help clients:

Understand their retirement income sources in a deeply intuitive way.
Balance the desire for safety, growth, and legacy — without sacrificing confidence.
Embrace secure income tools like annuities without the stigma or skepticism.

Based on lessons learned from his own transition from product-skeptic to pragmatic planner, and wisdom passed down from a trusted mentor — his father — Ethan will explore how to transform fear into clarity and planning into behavior.

If you advise clients navigating retirement or nearing the transition, this session will equip you with a simple yet powerful framework to strengthen your client conversations — and their plans.
