The Pension Blueprint podcast

Video transcript - Season four trailer

[Celine Chiovitti] A good retirement doesn’t just happen, it’s built. Today, retirement looks different. We’re living longer. Careers are evolving.

[Blake Hutcheson] We will do our level best with every ounce of our being to do exactly what the Plan has done for nearly 65 years, which is to deliver on our promise. A promise is a promise.

[Celine Chiovitti] Retirement is no longer one size fits all.

[Dr. Michelle Silver] Age has a different meaning than it has in the past. Your parents’ retirement is not going to be, your grandparents’ retirement is not going to be what yours is going to look like. Yours is going to look like what you make of it.

[Diane Kazarian] It’s so exciting, and I think that you have to embrace these times of change in your life.

[Celine Chiovitti] That’s why, this season, we’re bringing together pension leaders from Canada and around the world.

[Blake Hutcheson] In terms of our portfolio, it’s high quality, it’s a long-term focus. A quarter for us is not three months. A quarter for us is 25 years We are always looking for the long-term best interest of our pensioners.

[Celine Chiovitti] Plus, experts in personal finance, health, longevity and human behaviour. We answer today’s most important questions. Do you think that retirement will look different for the future generations?

[Roy Holder] Defined benefit plans, by design, offer a unique opportunity that supports where this generation is headed.

[Celine Chiovitti] Why women experience retirement differently.

[Moira Welsh] Because we have this great longevity many decades ahead of us, we need to connect with people, create those communities.

[Celine Chiovitti] And what it takes to close the gender pension gap.

[Nas Yadollahi] I think success would look like they’re no longer being automatically penalized because they are women.

[Celine Chiovitti] How younger Canadians can cut through online financial noise.

[Rob Carrick] Cross-check. Check three other influencers and some people who you don’t normally listen to, and find out what the alternative views are.

[Celine Chiovitti] Why your health is your retirement plan.

[Dr. James Aw] Having deep, meaningful relationships is good for longevity, it’s good for resiliency dealing with those difficult moments, gives you pleasure, joy.

[Celine Chiovitti] What a career in public service really means.

[Wendy Stephanson] Think about being community-minded and building a community, and doing the best that you can in the job that you’re in.

[Celine Chiovitti] How pension leaders are reimagining retirement.

[Blake Hutcheson] When we invest in this country, it improves this great nation. When we invest in this country, it serves our pensioners beautifully because they’re going to do well. And when those two things combine, I think society wins, I think the pensioners win, I think we all win.

[Martin Diokno] Do you know that a pension worth $40,000 a year for the rest of your life when you turn 65 is probably worth about a million bucks today?
