Something More with Chris Boyd

Something More with Chris Boyd is a financial planning show with a steady advisory temperament. It does not treat money as a scoreboard. It treats money as a set of decisions tied to family, age, taxes, risk, health, and the paperwork people often postpone. The show’s center of gravity is practical: what should someone think about before selling in a falling market, changing a 401k mix, drawing from retirement accounts, updating an estate plan, or stepping into a parent’s finances. Some episodes begin with market headlines. Conflict involving Iran, gasoline prices, oil stocks, inflation concerns, private credit, and the yield curve become entry points for talking about diversification, volatility, liquidity, and the limits of tactical investing. Other episodes move closer to the kitchen table. Financial caregiving for aging parents raises questions about required minimum distributions, access to records, care costs, dignity, and the need for documents that actually work when the first urgent phone call comes. Estate planning episodes with F. Keats Boyd III focus on capital gains, residency, trusts, LLCs, step-up in basis, and plans that fail because they were never updated or funded. Retirement and education savings conversations with Brian Regan look at common allocation mistakes, especially investors who use a target-date fund and then unknowingly add overlapping equity funds around it. Social Security episodes use case studies to make rules more tangible, including divorced-spouse scenarios and the details that determine eligibility. The show is conversational without becoming loose. One speaker frames the issue, another complicates it, and the discussion usually returns to what a household should consider next. Chris Boyd’s financial planning background gives the program its planning discipline, while AMR team members and named guests add different angles. The result is not flashy market commentary. It is grounded financial context for people who know enough to be concerned and want a clearer frame before making a move.
