Taxes may be inevitable, but how you approach them can make a meaningful difference in your long-term financial path.

In this episode, Peter Raskin unpacks the recently signed “One Big Beautiful Bill” and what it means for families and individuals. More importantly, he breaks down how to think about taxes not in isolation, but in the broader context of your goals, values, and peace of mind for your family’s future.

Real client stories around estate taxes, complexity, and prioritizing simplicity over tax savings
Strategies like Roth conversions, asset sales, and rebalancing with a focus on goals and risk tolerance
How to evaluate whether complex tax-saving strategies like 1031 exchanges or charitable remainder trusts are worth the effort
And more!
