#80: Shattering The Fishbowl

On this episode of The Retirement Readiness Podcast, Tim Regan welcomes back his daughter, Maddy Reagan as they further the conversation of Tim’s book, “Shatter Your Fishbowl: Live Your Two Comma Life®.” Together, they share the story behind the book’s creation, what inspired Tim to turn years of family lessons into a manuscript, and how the writing process unfolded.

Tim and Maddy talk about the metaphor of the “fishbowl” – the personal boundaries we grow up with – and how anyone can break free to find new possibilities in life and finances. Maddy shares her perspective as both a marketer and family member, while Tim explains his motivation, the various writing approaches he explored, and why faith became central to the final product.

“If you have a calling on your heart to write a book, God’s putting that calling there. It’s probably meant to be written,” Tim notes, reflecting on the role of faith and legacy in the writing journey.

Listeners will also hear stories about family, the idea of living a “Two Comma Life®,” and practical advice for anyone thinking about capturing their own life lessons and aspirations in writing.

3 Key Takeaways

  • Legacy, faith, and willingness to seek mentors can shape not only your work but how you live a life of abundance, generosity, and purpose.
