About This Podcast

Pension Protectors is where real stories meet real solutions. We talk money,
stress, wellness—the stuff no one else does. No fluff, just honest help so you
can retire confident, prepared, and at peace—with people you trust in your
corner.  Whether you are a seasoned first responder or a veteran public school teacher, we will cover topics like retirement, that are relative to you and your pension.  Matt and Clint are culturally competent professionals who speak in a language you can understand.  Not even your unpredictable income or hours will throw off your hosts as they have 30+ years combined experience in focusing on state pensioners just like yourself.
