Brent Freeman on The Alchemy of Joy: From Rock Bottom to a Life of Daily Joy
Brent Freeman had the marriage, the money, and the Instagram feed to prove he was crushing it — and one morning in 2018, standing at his window in San Francisco, he contemplated ending his life. In this episode, David Bach sits down with Brent, entrepreneur and author of The Alchemy of Joy, to talk about the sunset that changed everything and the framework he's used to help thousands of people go from burned out to genuinely joyful.

Brent breaks down the Reset Breath, a 60-second technique to calm your nervous system in any moment, the One Minute Window practice of Stop, See, Soften, and his ITT Framework: Invest in joy, Train your brain, Take bold action. It's a conversation about presence, hardship, and why change is possible at any age. Brent's new book, The Alchemy of Joy, is out September 15, 2026 – pre-order it now.

Jean Chatzky on The Forever Paycheck: Spend Retirement Without Fear
Jean Chatzky's mother died with $1.7 million untouched in her retirement account – money she was too afraid to spend. In this episode, David Bach sits down with Jean, bestselling author and founder of HerMoney.com, to talk about her new book, The Forever Paycheck, and why so many retirees can't bring themselves to enjoy the money they spent a lifetime saving. They dig into why $45 trillion is sitting in American retirement accounts with almost none of it coming out, the psychology behind why we treat savings like "precious cargo" we're afraid to use, and what it actually means to build a "forever paycheck" – a reliable stream of income that lets you spend with confidence instead of fear. Jean also breaks down the different types of annuities, challenges the popular 4% withdrawal rule, and explains why your first decade of retirement — the "go-go years" – is the one you can't afford to spend too cautiously. Jean Chatzky has written over a dozen personal finance books, spent 25 years with the Today Show, and hosts the PBS series Opportunity Knocks. Her new book, The Forever Paycheck, is out on September 8th. Connect with Jean & David! Pre-Order The Forever Paycheck. Follow Jean on Facebook, Instagram & X.
