Dive into the deeply human and financial realities of longer lifespans with Sam Pepin and guest Michael Banner, host of the 62WhoKnew Podcast
. With decades of experience in retirement planning, insurance, and financial strategies for aging populations, Michael brings a unique perspective shaped by his years as a caretaker for his father. His story intertwines personal legacy, professional insight, and a mission to help others prepare for the double-edged sword of living longer.
In this episode, Michael explores the urgent need for proactive financial planning around retirement and long-term care. He shares the origins of 62WhoKnew, born out of the realization that most families are unprepared for the financial and emotional toll of caregiving. From annuities and reverse mortgages to the power of life insurance as a legacy tool, Michael outlines practical strategies to ensure quality of life in later years.
Listeners will hear powerful lessons on intergenerational conversations, the emotional realities of caregiving, and how to reframe retirement as a purposeful second chapter. Michael also discusses the role of podcasting as a force for public good—making complex financial subjects accessible and inspiring action rather than procrastination.
