Hey kids, it's me! I'm back!

Today's topic isn't particularly pleasant. We're talking about Blockfi. Do you have assets stuck there? Well, listen up and maybe there's a bit of good news for you.

By the way, I took somewhat of a break from this podcast while I enjoyed a kickass NFL season and kind of enjoyed being very busy with work. But I'm back and I appreciate YOUR patience. Things should be back to about an episode a week from now until the 2023 football season starts...


Matt Franklin has worn a lot of hats-entrepreneur, investor, consultant, and self-proclaimed retirement nerd-and he brings that full spectrum of experience to Rogue Retirement Lounge. This podcast is built for the self-employed, the freelancers, and the business owners who find traditional financial advice doesn't quite fit their unconventional path. Forget the dry lectures; here, retirement planning is about actionable strategy and building real freedom. You'll hear detailed discussions on constructing a portfolio that goes far beyond the stock market, focusing on tangible, cash-flowing assets that aim for better returns with managed risk. Episodes dive into the nuts and bolts of self-directed IRAs, the realities and opportunities of investing in real estate, and the practicalities of considering a retirement abroad. Matt also breaks down essential, often overlooked tactics for legal tax reduction and robust asset protection, ensuring what you build is safeguarded. As a Bitcoin enthusiast, he naturally explores where digital assets fit into a modern, diversified plan. The conversation is always geared toward creating a resilient financial future that aligns with an independent lifestyle, making this podcast a resource for anyone who wants their retirement to be as dynamic as their career has been.
