Andrea NordgrenGUEST
I worked at Lake Forest College, so definitely higher education space.
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
And then I spent four years at Northwestern Mutual, so the financial corporate world, which was super interesting.
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
I learned a lot.
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
And then I left corporate world and never went back.
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
right
Jordan BradyHOST
well a lot of
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
exactly and what we weren't doing i mean i actually had directed before then when i was at northwestern mutual i was producing and directing there but we we weren't just doing you know tv spots we were doing a lot of different types of content and a lot of branded content before it got you know um super trendy so it makes sense right to have different ways to slice and dice production um so we definitely used different directors.
Andrea NordgrenGUEST
It wasn't certainly all me, but the ability to just be, you know, efficient and just work together as a team was awesome.
Chris NaghibiHOST
So if you don't, it's all good.
Chris NaghibiHOST
Northwestern Mutual put it in a chart in January and called it, in their words, financial nihilism.
Chris NaghibiHOST
73% of Americans who hold or are considering a speculative asset say they do it because they believe they feel financially behind.
Chris NaghibiHOST
Among Gen Z, that's about 80%.

Chris NaghibiHOST
Falling real income, thin savings, hardship withdrawals, at a record, a stock market at 1999 multiples that he owns almost none of other than maybe a small retirement account.
Chris NaghibiHOST
A house that cost twice what it did five years ago to carry and a job which is the cruel part because a job is what keeps him in the game.
Chris NaghibiHOST
What does a person like this do? Well, Northwestern Mutual surveyed 4,375 adults in January.
Chris NaghibiHOST
A small pool, sure, relative to the population size, but a good enough size to make some conclusions, apparently.
Brian JamesHOST
So Now, let's bring this back on shore.
Brian JamesHOST
Northwestern Mutual, a local giant insurance company, they found that only 22% of American baby boomers expect to leave an inheritance at all.
Brian JamesHOST
And just 11% say leaving money to their kids is their top financial goal.
Brian JamesHOST
On the other side of this, though, Bob, more than half of Generation Z and 60% of millennials say they're counting on an inheritance to help them retire comfortably.
Jill OdomGUEST
Yeah, exactly.
Jill OdomGUEST
What about favorite landscape you've ever visited? I've seen a lot of beautiful landscapes, but one that came to mind when I read that question was the Northwestern Mutual Campus in Milwaukee.
Jill OdomGUEST
Kajaya takes care of it and I visited it.
Jill OdomGUEST
And I just remember thinking, I'm just like, wow, if I worked here, I would sit outside with my laptop 24-7 because it's just a gorgeous campus out there.
Ben UtechtGUEST
And so I would tell you, and here's a case study.
Ben UtechtGUEST
So I've worked with a number of Northwestern mutual groups.
Ben UtechtGUEST
One of the groups here in Minnesota is one of the leading groups in the country.
Ben UtechtGUEST
And managing probably close to somewhere between 750 and a billion in assets.
Chad LawHOST
And then about two-thirds of the way down, she finally gets to America.
Chad LawHOST
She cites a 2024 Northwestern Mutual survey about 4,500 American adults.
Chad LawHOST
Only 22% of boomers expect to leave an inheritance.
Chad LawHOST
More than half are planning not to.
Alexa von TobelGUEST
And then to your point, yes, you're absolutely seeing big strategics wanting to get in.
Alexa von TobelGUEST
I think if you're, you know, I sold my company to Northwestern Mutual.
Alexa von TobelGUEST
If you're a big incumbent company, you recognize very clearly that that you need to be on the edge of what's happening in technology and those talent pools, you want to get visibility on as quickly as you can.
Alexa von TobelGUEST
And so we're seeing a lot of our companies have massive strategic interests, not just from the acquisition front, but also from the capital front and huge commercial partnerships.
Kathryn TuggleHOST
Here's something that caught my eye recently.
Kathryn TuggleHOST
A Northwestern Mutual study found that 64% of Americans who work with a financial advisor say they feel financially secure.
Kathryn TuggleHOST
Among people who don't, it's just 29%.
Kathryn TuggleHOST
And in a newer version of that study, they found that 74% of billionaires work with an advisor compared to just 34% of Americans overall.
SouhaHOST
Just giving myself that control back, it like kept me in a positive mindset, which I think is so much important, especially when you are going into brain surgery, it makes recovery that much easier.
SouhaHOST
In fact, having a finish line in mind is part of the reason he's partnered up with Northwestern Mutual ahead of his marathon.
SouhaHOST
After making the decision to run, he of course made sure to clear it with his team of doctors, especially his oncologist.
SouhaHOST
He explained in terms of recovery that he could pretty much go back to doing anything and he just asked that do you think I will be able to run a marathon and the doctor said I don't think I could ever run a marathon but you should be good to go.
Greg VoisenHOST
a third-party benefit administrator, for those of you out there that understand what that is, a health and welfare consulting firm, and an independent registered investment advisor firm.
Greg VoisenHOST
So he's worked with individuals, privately held businesses, publicly traded companies, and venture capital firms, and he served on the Board of Advisors of the American College, of Grantham Fund of Financial Security, funded by Northwestern Mutual from 2017 to 22 on the advisory board of Lafayette Life and Western and Southern, a Fortune 500 company.
Greg VoisenHOST
He's the best-selling author, as we said, of The Pirates of Manhattan.
Greg VoisenHOST
That's one of his books.
