Tax-Smart Retirement Investing with Mark Struthers
Tax-Smart Retirement Investing is an educational podcast for professionals, pre-retirees, and business owners who want to make smarter decisions about retirement, taxes, investing, and long-term spending.
Hosted by Mark Struthers, CFA®, CFP®, CRC®, RMA®, the show focuses on how real people navigate the trade-offs that come with retirement planning—before and after they stop working.
Topics include:
• Tax-aware retirement planning
• Investment decisions before and during retirement
• Retirement income and withdrawal strategies
• Coordinating portfolios, taxes, and cash flow
• Major financial events like retirement transitions, severance, and liquidity events
Rather than rules of thumb or quick fixes, the podcast emphasizes process, judgment, and making better decisions under uncertainty—so you can get more out of what you’ve built.
