Business ownerws get worn down, burned out, and ready to “retire.”

But when you dig a little deeper, it’s not that they hate the business…

They hate being the only one who can run it. That’s not a business. That’s a job you happen to own.

This week's episode with Kyle Gabhart, is about how to make your business work without you, so you can choose whether to "love it or list it".

What if retirement isn’t the goal, but the beginning?
In this episode of The Advised Podcast, Rick sits down with Scott Jagodzinski, author of Harder to Kill and founder of Argent Alpha, to talk about why traditional retirement is broken and how men over 50 can design a more meaningful second act.
Scott explains why the old model ofwork hard, save money, then stop working, leads to decline and disconnection, not fulfillment. He shares how reinvention can become the new standard by focusing on curiosity, growth, and purpose instead of withdrawal and comfort.
Together, Rick and Scott explore what it means to build a life that stays relevant and rewarding after the paycheck ends. They talk about health, mindset, and how to start small with new challenges that keep you learning and engaged.
If you are approaching retirement or already there, this conversation will help you rethink what comes next and how to live with strength, meaning, and forward momentum.

If you think “slowing down” as you age is normal… it’s not.

It's not aging.. It's neglect with a better marketing department.
Scott Jagodzinski wrote Harder to Kill for guys who refuse to fade.

This episode of ADVISED is major wake up call you can't afford to miss.

What does it really mean to be Harder to Kill?In this episode, Rick sits down with Scott Jagodzinski, author of Harder to Kill and founder of Argent Alpha , to talk about why men over 50 can’t afford to coast on autopilot when it comes to their health.
Scott led companies through nine-figure exits and corporate turnarounds before redirecting that same intensity toward optimizing life after 50. Together, he and Rick unpack the mindset, structure, and daily disciplines that build strength, resilience, and purpose, not decline.
They dig into Scott’s “Alpha Triad” framework:

Future Self — defining who you want to become

Alpha 5 — daily standards for mindset, sleep, nutrition, fitness, and hydration

R.A.D. — recurring accountability that outlasts willpower

Whether you’re approaching retirement or just ready to reclaim energy and confidence, this conversation shows you how to build the foundation for a longer, better life, not just more years on the clock.
