2025, The Final Drive is a metaphor from my football playing and coaching days. It is an attempt to emphasize the importance of the last chance, time is ticking, or now is the time to go! As you read through this book you will see we have a real opportunity in front of us. In 2025 the current tax cuts that were passed in 2017 expire and we at a minimum return to the rates before or rates go much higher. In this book I will discuss the Big Three retirement risks and how to deal with them. Getting out of the way of higher taxes is No 1. Avoiding retiring into a bad market is No. 2. And, pulling it together, dealing with the biggest risk of all, longevity risk, is No. 3. So, take your time, soak in the information you're about to read, and then act!

Some fathers and sons go fishing together. Some play ball. David Hays and Daniel Hays sailed 17,000 miles through the world's most feared and fabled waters in a little boat they built together. This is their story. Alone with nothing but the mammoth waves of the Southern Ocean, the unceasing wind, a compass, a sextant and a pet cat, they voyage down the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, past the Galapagos Islands, beyond Easter Island and around their destination--Cape Horn. Father and son narrate in alternating fashion, their voices weaving together an engrossing story of travel, exploration and difficult, dangerous sailing. But more than a tale of adventure, this is a touching account of a father and son's rite of passage as they assess their complex and evolving relationship. Daniel, out of college and unsure of what he wants in his life, sees his father getting older, more forgetful. David deals with unresolved issues he had with his own father, fearful that he'll make the same mistakes with his son, yet frustrated that Daniel treats him like an old man. Moving, often hilarious, often poignant, My Old Man and the Sea is a rich and profound chronicle of their voyage of discovery. Every reader will identify with this uplifting story of a father and son who go down to the sea and find each other.
Exploring themes of grief and spiritual discovery, the story follows Mathew Slains, a former deputy sheriff seeking solace on the mid-Atlantic coast after his wife's death.

Guided by his late wife and a group of guardian angels, he delves into ancient wisdom through a mysterious book written in an unknown language, leading him to a transformative journey at a mystery school.
