This week we have the pleasure of chatting with Steve Abbott, Head of Public Policy and Government Affairs for Gusto. We first met Steve during his tenure at the Pew Charitable Trusts, and we recall talking over tacos about retirement savings. In his transition to the private sector, Steve’s kept a true north focus on financial inclusion and design simplicity.

This week we talk with our friend Geoffrey Sanzenbacher about his new book, The Six Facts that Matter: Understanding Inequality in the United States. Geoff (Dr. Geoff, to you!) is an econ professor and Research Fellow at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. In addition to working with students, Geoff researches the role of cognitive decline in late-life finances, the retirement savings decision, and the transition from defined benefit to defined contribution pensions.

We are ruthless in our search for truth! … about what’s going on in the world of retirement studies and public policy. Join us as we chat with Morningstar’s Aron Szapiro about fresh research and counter-intuitive findings on topics ranging from the retirement landscape to the racial wealth gap. The goods start here.
