Chris Maduri

Chris Maduri has spent nearly two decades helping people prepare for more than retirement - he helps them prepare for the life that comes after work.

Because retirement isn't simply the day the pay cheque stops.

It can change your identity, your marriage, your relationship with your time, your health, your family and your sense of purpose. And Chris believes that's the part of retirement planning most people don't talk about.

Chris began his career just before the 2008 Financial Crisis, an experience that fundamentally shaped how he thinks about risk. Watching carefully constructed plans come under pressure taught him that assumptions can fail - and that a retirement plan needs to work in the real world, not just on paper.

But after nearly two decades in the industry, Chris has come to see that financial preparation is only one part of the equation.

The bigger question is: What are you actually retiring to?

Chris describes retirement as the "fourth quarter of life" - and, if you've done things right, a little overtime.His work explores what it takes to make that chapter meaningful: having financial confidence, maintaining your health, protecting the people you love, staying connected to a sense of purpose and knowing how you want to spend the years you've worked so hard to create.

He's particularly interested in the conversations people tend to postpone.

What happens to a marriage when two people suddenly have unlimited time together - but completely different ideas about retirement?

What happens when ageing or long-term care changes the plan?

Are you actually living in a way that protects your family, or simply assuming they'll be okay?

And why do we spend decades planning how to build wealth, but so little time planning how we'll use it, protect it and live with it?

Chris brings a financial professional's understanding of retirement risk to these deeply human questions. He believes the biggest risks in later life aren't always found in the markets. Sometimes they're found in poor preparation, difficult family conversations, declining health, lack of purpose or simply having no idea what comes next.

His philosophy is simple: Hope is not a long-term-care strategy, and retirement shouldn't be a financial finish line.

As a father, Chris also brings a personal perspective to the idea of success. For him, providing for your family isn't just about money. It's about being present, setting an example and having the health, energy and freedom to actually participate in the life you've worked to build.

Today, Chris sits at the intersection of financial clarity and personal clarity, bringing a fresh perspective to conversations about retirement, relationships, ageing, caregiving, family, longevity, purpose and what it really means to build a life that lasts.

He's not just interested in helping people retire from work. He's interested in helping them figure out what they're going to do with the life they've earned.
