<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What happens when the title you&#8217;ve worked decades to earn no longer applies to you?

Why Generic Financial Advice Breaks at Higher Levels (Ep. 25)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most financial advice is designed to be simple.

Through practical examples and personal stories, they discuss why successful planning requires more than formulas, and why understanding a family&#8217;s values, goals, and emotions often matters just as much as the numbers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key Takeaways:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why the popular 4% withdrawal rule may not reflect how retirees actually spend money throughout retirement</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How retirement spending often evolves through the &#8220;go-go,&#8221; &#8220;slow-go,&#8221; and &#8220;no-go&#8221; years</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How financial decisions are influenced by personal experiences, family history, and emotions, not just math</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common mistakes affluent families make when implementing advanced planning strategies without understanding the details</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How trust, communication, and personalized planning help investors avoid emotionally driven decisions during uncertain times</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And more!</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Connect With Danton Troyer:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://monetagroup.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moneta Group</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stlouisfinancialadvisor/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn: Danton Troyer</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="mailto:dtroyer@monetagroup.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">dtroyer@monetagroup.com</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">(314) 735-9087</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Connect With Kyle Luetters:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://monetagroup.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moneta Group</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyleluetters/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn: Kyle Luetters</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="mailto:kluetters@monetagroup.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">kluetters@monetagroup.com</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">(314) 536-8297</span></li> </ul>

Career Acceleration Without Personal Burnout (Ep. 24)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Career success can look great from the outside while quietly costing you more than you realize.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, Sara Bell shares what happened when years of high performance, constant responsibility, and perfectionism finally caught up with her, and how she rebuilt a life and career that felt more aligned with who she truly wanted to be.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Danton Troyer and Kyle Luetters sit down with Leadership and Wellbeing Strategist Sara Bell, Founder of Strive to Thrive Coaching, to talk about burnout, leadership, identity, and the pressure many high achievers place on themselves. Sara opens up about her journey from chemical engineer to biotech executive, to eventually leaving corporate leadership to build a fitness franchise and a coaching business focused on helping leaders thrive without sacrificing themselves. The conversation explores why burnout often has less to do with workload than with values, boundaries, and self-worth, especially for executives who feel responsible for everything around them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key Takeaways:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why burnout is often tied to compromised values, lack of control, or blocked impact</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The difference between time management and energy management</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why high performers struggle to transition into effective leadership</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How perfectionism and people-pleasing quietly erode capacity</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The role financial planning played in Sara’s ability to leave corporate life with confidence</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And more!</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Connect With Danton Troyer:</b></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://team.monetagroup.com/team/gast-freeman-troyer/"><b>GFT team page</b></a></li> <li><a href="https://monetagroup.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moneta Group</span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/stlouisfinancialadvisor/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn: Danton Troyer</span></a></li> <li><a href="mailto:dtroyer@monetagroup.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">dtroyer@monetagroup.com</span></a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">(314) 735-9087</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Connect With Kyle Luetters:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://team.monetagroup.com/team/gast-freeman-troyer/"><b>GFT team page</b></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://monetagroup.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Moneta Group</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyleluetters/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn: Kyle Luetters</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="mailto:kluetters@monetagroup.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">kluetters@monetagroup.com</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">(314) 536-8297</span></li> </ul> <p><b>Connect With Sara Bell:</b></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.strivetothrivecoaching.net/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strive to Thrive Coaching</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-bell-thrive/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LinkedIn: Sara Bell </span></a></li> </ul> <p><b>About Our Guest:</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sara Bell is a leadership development consultant, executive coach, and entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in the life sciences industry.
