My two guests to discuss the issues are Ryan Barrett, a member of both the State Bar of California and Utah State Bar, and Mike Piper, CPA.
Ryan is an estate planning attorney who began his legal career in southern California ten years ago after obtaining a Juris Doctor as well as a Master of Business Administration from a concurrent program at Pepperdine Law and Pepperdine Graziadio Business School. Mike is the author of the popular blog “Oblivious Investor” at ObliviousInvestor.com and the creator of the free Open Social Security calculator at OpenSocialSecurity.com.
