E L I M I N AT I N G THE 3 BIGGEST RETIREMENT RISKS PA R T I I I

LEARN THE FACTS FROM IMPACT WEALTH

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2021

IN OUR LAST TWO ARTICLES (PART I, MAY 2021 & PART II, AUGUST 2021), WE DISCUSSED THE THREE MOST SIGNIFICANT RISKS TO YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN.

CAPITAL RISK + Simply put, not having enough money to fund your retirement goals. + According to one of the largest 401(k) providers in the country, 74% of your income in retirement is driven by how much you invest and only 26% is a result of where you invest. TAX RISK + Can you predict your retirement tax rate? How much will the government take? 30%? 50%? More? This gets even more complicated when you consider that your retirement can stretch 25 years and longer. + Given current tax proposals, tax rates are not likely to go down for most people. INVESTMENT RISK + If you have been in the stock market, you have lived through this risk! Avoiding large losses is key. + Think about it, if you are down 50% at any given time, you will have to make 100% just to get back to break even.

In Part I, we focused mostly on Capital Risk and in Part II, we primarily covered tax risk. In this final part, we will focus on investment risk, mainly as it pertains to retirement planning. Many of us remember the 2008 crisis when 40%+ of market value was lost. Since then, we have enjoyed one of the longest bull markets in history, with many quickly forgetting risk is not always rewarded. The current interest rate environment is low, making bonds and fixed income investments unattractive, but do not forget that when interest rates go up, the bond value itself goes down. So much for protection and the old 60/40 rule. There are storm clouds ahead that traditional retirement tools are not prepared for.

THE PAIN OF LOSING IS PSYCHOLOGICALLY TWICE AS POWERFUL AS THE PLEASURE OF GAINING. —KAHNEMAN & TVERSKY, 1979

#1 FINANCIAL FEAR IS NOT HAVING SUFFICIENT SAVINGS IN RETIREMENT TO M A I N TA I N L I F E S T Y L E .

SO, WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? Due to limitations, traditional retirement plans are typically insufficient for high-income earners. If you want to maintain your lifestyle in retirement, you need a proactive strategy that puts more money toward protecting your future income without putting a drain on your current finances. Everyone wants to invest like the wealthy. Most believe the wealthy make risky investments to achieve their wealth. Did you know...many wealthy families have been investing money in life insurance policies that have cash accumulation features.

RECALLING THE WORLD'S BEAUTY

WITH MAX SEIGAL

HOW HIS PHOTOS ARE PULLING US FROM OUR DAY-TO-DAY LIVES ARTICLE KARYSMA HICKS PHOTOGRAPHY MAX SEIGAL + POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2021

HAVING A MOTHER WHO IS A VETERINARIAN, A YOUNG MAX SEIGAL WAS ALWAYS EXPOSED TO AND CAPTIVATED BY THE BEAUTY OF ANIMALS. Having also grown up and lived in Boulder his entire life, he was robust in appreciating the beauty found in nature. “I grew up doing all the fun outdoor things—backpacking, hiking, climbing and mountain biking,” Max says. “As a kid, I just really loved the outdoors and knew growing up that I wanted to create a lifestyle and a profession built around that. I just didn’t know that photography was going to be the route I would take—especially because I studied biology and spent a lot of time doing science research in my adult life.”

Now known to be renowned for catching the beauty of the natural world, Max travels around the globe working on conservation projects and portraying imagery through his own eyes. Rather than taking photos with the intent of earning a buck or for the purpose of the final view, he looks at his photography work more as a hobby and a joy for blending science and art together and juxtaposing his love for wildlife. “My photography went from something that was spontaneous to something that has evolved into something that requires a great deal of planning and energy,” Max says. “It can be quite a bit of work—a lot of hiking, a lot of camping, late nights and early mornings. No matter how much planning goes into this, it never comes out the way you expect it to—and that is what makes my work a creative and painstaking process.” With the approach of aiming to always be in the background and non-disruptive to the environment, Max is able to capture candid shots of wildlife in their natural habitat, as well as the essence that surrounds them. “I like to capture imagery the way that it is without influencing it in any kind of way.”

With his 15-year experience as a wildlife photographer and his adolescent exposure to a surplus of fauna, Max believes that his connection with not only the animals he captures, but the scenery as well, is translated well through his work—and because of this, people are able to connect with what is recorded photographically, whether it’s an adorable photo of a baby penguin or a curious seal, shots of long-standing architecture or panoramic views of the great Colorado outdoors. Having residency at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa, Max has seen his work resonate with many people, from different walks of life. “I know many people don’t have the opportunity to go hiking every weekend or may not have the time to go up into the mountains and find such beautiful spots, so in my mind, I’m taking these images so that everyone can appreciate this kind of beauty and the magnificence of nature without being there,” he says. Noticing what kind of visitors often pass by his work at St. Julien, he has built a sense of pride in being able to offer the everyday person the ability to gravitate toward his photos and to be able to be pulled out of their busy day-to-day working lives for even one fleeting moment. “With my work being shown at the hotel, I am able to reach businessmen and women who might have a conference or a meeting there, or maybe it is someone who is traveling in from another state. Even locals are able to see and connect with my work, while still being entirely in their element.” Max's current work on preview can be found inside local spots, in addition to the St. Julien Hotel & Spa, such as Brewing Market Coffee, and soon-to-be The Laughing Goat Coffee House and Ozo Coffee—allowing spectators to not only recognize a familiar local’s artistic production but to have a familiar recalling of the beautiful world that they live in.

Celebrating Three Indigenous Artists for Native American Heritage Month JAYCEE BEYALE, ANNA TSOUHLARAKIS AND MELANIE YAZZIE CREATE ART FOR THE BOULDER COMMUNITY, INSPIRED BY THEIR NAVAJO UPBRINGINGS

JayCee Beyale

MURALIST AND STREET ARTIST

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2021

Growing up in the Four Corners area of New Mexico, near his family’s Navajo reservation they visited regularly, JayCee Beyale watched his older brother graffiti fonts and styled lettering around town. Intrigued, JayCee checked out books at the library on street art and practiced drawing his own bubble letters. “Graffiti is what made me want to do art,” JayCee says. After earning a bachelor’s in printmaking from the University of New Mexico, JayCee creates art combining the sharp angles and bright colors found in graffiti aesthetics with traditional, geometric motifs found in Navajo rugs and pottery. A Buddhist of eight years, JayCee applies his religious and lifestyle teachings—which are in line with his Navajo upbringing in a spiritual household—to his art, combining indigenous ideologies and Buddhism with motifs of modern technology. “The act of creating art is like a form of prayer,” says JayCee, who projects his thoughts and energies into what he paints, the same way his grandfather and uncles practiced as traditional healers. JayCee often depicts Navajo people in his murals in order to pass on and restore his culture. Since 2020’s start, JayCee has painted seven murals in Colorado and now serves as a co-curator and assistant to marketing and advertising at the Dairy Arts Center.

Anna Tsouhlarakis: SCULPTURE, INSTALLATION, VIDEO AND PERFORMANCE ARTIST

An enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, Anna Tsouhlarakis grew up between Kansas and New Mexico and naturally had access to creative materials. Her father, who was a construction worker then jeweler, brought her home wood for sculptures and metal scraps to stamp and roll out.

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2021

Anna’s degrees from Dartmouth in studio art and Native American studies, as well as her master’s from Yale in sculpture, inform one another and allow her to reshape Indigenous art’s aesthetics. “I knew there were gaps in native art history that needed to be filled,” Anna says. While in the early 2000s, African American and Asian American artists created in thenunique mediums of performance, installation and video, there were few contemporary Native American pieces in these mediums. In order to work across several artistic disciplines, Anna avidly reads and follows Native American news dealing with land rights, the environment and social issues. Her pieces’ foundations start with Navajo philosophies and teachings. Anna moved to Boulder in May 2020 from Washington D.C., catching the tail end of her artist residency in nearby Colorado Springs through the year. Her children Mahate, Akocha and Oaks Carreiro are the most important part of her life here, as there aren’t many native families in Boulder. “One of the most exciting things about being in Boulder is the native community at the University,” Anna says. She’s the Director of Foundations and a tenure-track Assistant Professor in CU-Boulder’s Art and Art History department. “It’s absolutely amazing to be on a campus with native students and colleagues.”

Melanie Yazzie learned the art of studio practice from her grandmother Thelma Baldwin, a traditional Diné (Navajo) weaver. Melanie sat with her while she wove quietly and intentionally, meditating while she worked. As a printmaking professor at CU-Boulder since 2006, Melanie preaches the same method of carving out creative time to her students.

Melanie Yazzie

PRINTMAKER, PAINTER, SCULPTOR AND MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

Boulder Lifestyle | November 2021

Raised in Arizona on a reservation, Melanie felt encouraged by her parents to explore her artistic sense. A part of the Salt and Bitter Water Clans, Melanie creates what she believes in around themes of post-colonial dilemmas, Native American womanhood and her personal experiences, all to educate viewers on the issues shaping modern Diné people. After receiving a bachelor’s in studio art from Arizona State University and a master’s in printmaking from CU-Boulder, Melanie attracted attention for her realistic art. “Artists don’t go into the studio to become famous,” Melanie says. “They do it to honor their grandmother and community. When you’re honest with your craft about things beyond yourself, people want to connect with that.” Her self portraits, for example, portray her experience as an unseen brown woman in society, mixed with bright colors and fun animal imagery. Last October, when Melanie’s mother passed from the coronavirus with no preexisting conditions, she painted from childhood memories, then made stencils of homes around Boulder and added healing and prayer imagery. “If I depict the reality of our situation and histories, it’s so bleak,” Melanie says. “I have to make this beautiful work, put on rose-tinted glasses to see the world and heal myself.” With more than 500 group and solo exhibitions around the world under her belt, Melanie has also organized other artists’ work through more than 300 print exchanges. She collects several of the same print from a handful of artists before sending or delivering them to regional and national collections. This way, even rural artists can advertise their name and work.

Boulder-based public benefit corporation Boundless Landscapes, which advises on, builds and plants micro-farms, is sharing their valuable farm tools and connections, while non-profit Earth’s Table is mentoring farmer Katie. It is an under-reported fact that more than 46,000 residents in Boulder and Broomfield Counties do not have enough food, and 12 percent of those people are children. The Food Security Project initiative leverages the McKenzie property to provide for those in need. Farmer Katie is growing over 20 crops with 45 different varieties. Prior to planting crops, Community Food Share surveyed the community to find out which fresh produce items were in most demand and discovered that tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and cucumbers were needed most.

So far more than 2,615 pounds of locally grown food has been grown on less than an acre, then donated and distributed. The funds raised have provided nearly 38,000 meals to the community. On a recent balmy summer evening, the Burgess’ hosted Boulder community members to celebrate the summer harvest and the success of the project. As the fiddle played and the square dancing began, the sounds of laughter pollinated the air. People danced with gratitude for the delicious food that this land can grow.

“The premise of this show was that you can be an American and you can also be Indigenous, and you can have an intersection of your identity while still having an American experience,” he says. “I became a living embodiment of the stereotype.” An on-site tipi was on display to represent the “quintessential beacon of Indigeneity,” which was decorated with simple yet modern objects, including books and stereos playing punk music along with a headdress and tribal rugs that Gregg himself navigated around as he would do if no one was watching. It was an invitation for people to be challenged by what they thought he was supposed to live like. A notable moment was when he came outside to chop both of his braids with a pair of scissors as the audience watched them fall to the ground. “Hair is often considered a symbol of Indigeneity, so by taking that out of the equation, I could also ask the question about whether or not I am more or less as a result of this action,” Gregg proposes. Viewers were able to explore Gregg’s make-shift modern home in a safe environment that pointed towards potential prejudices, making this a deeply memorable performance. “In the art world so much of the perception of our existence dictates what sells and what doesn't sell, making it difficult to navigate spaces of contemporary art because you are having to participate in the context of a western buyers market,” Gregg says. Indigenizing our spaces at home, in the workplace and in the classroom means bringing misrepresented voices to our daily lives through art, media and even decor. And during these modern times that have proven to challenge us, Gregg instills that “adversity begets innovation.” A poignant invitation to reflect and participate in new ways with Indigenous people whose very land we stand on.

WE AT BOULDER LIFESTYLE WERE QUICK TO JUMP ON THE SCENE WHEN THERE WITH CARE HOSTED CURATED CLOSET, A POP-UP SHOPPING EVENT. We’re pleased to introduce you to There With Care's volunteer, Marsha Beyer, along with There With Care’s Community Development Associate, Katie Hegg. Through a heartwarming conversation we got the inside scoop on all things fashion, and how this event commenced. “Thrift shopping has become so chic,” says Marsha, and we could not agree more. Thrift shopping seems to be the more favored weekend activity these days. It feels more like a fun treasure hunt to find hidden gems and vintage collections. Which is why we were over the moon excited for the pop-up shopping event Marsha planned. She is no stranger to the fashion industry, and is a natural when it comes to apparel. Because her perspective is so refreshing and artistic take so inspired, we were curious to know more about her journey of combining fashion and giving back. Her love for all things fashion blossomed at the sweet age of sixteen when she started working at a small dressmaking factory. Years later, after majoring in business, she became a fashion director in New York. She has been in fashion and retail all her life, but she is most passionate about giving back.

Giving them something playful like art or music to focus on seems to increase satisfaction. “It’s fun and they’re happy to be doing something where they have control and can express a bit of themselves.”

At the end of class, they move with a new energy and freedom, much different than when they walked through the door. This is the Dance for Parkinson’s Program {DANCE4PD) offered through Boulder’s 3rd Law Dance Theater, a contemporary/modern dance company named after Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion. “People with PD work hard to move through a day,” says Lisa Johnston, director of the program and one of its instructors. Their muscles are often sluggish and tight, she says. After a dance class they feel looser, stand taller and move with a confident grace they didn’t believe was possible. It is well recognized that dance is one of the best ways to combat the symptoms of PD—the second most common neurological disorder.

Teachers incorporate ballet, tap, modern dance, and other dance forms to spark creativity through story and imagery while simultaneously working on flexibility, balance, strength and endurance. Dance for PD® is part of a global network of more than 300 communities in 25 countries around the world. Born in Brooklyn, NY in 2001 with The Mark Morris Dance Group, they utilized the expertise of professional dancers rigorously trained to incorporate balance, sequencing, rhythm and creativity into managing chronic disease and mobility challenges.

ART IN HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY Can an attractive drawing or photograph reduce pain or anxiety? Do patients with art in their environment heal faster? More and more hospitals think so. And they've put big money behind it, transforming what were once cold, sterile spaces into mini-museums and contemporary art destinations. According to a report from Arts & Health Alliance, a Washington, D.C. nonprofit, more than forty percent of health care facilities in the U.S. have arts programs, with permanent public art displays—such as paintings and murals— being the most prevalent. “Visual art has a strong, positive physiological effect on the brain,” says Executive Director Leslie Faerstein. “If an art installation gets a patient out of his room, or paintings take a person’s mind off their pain and lowers their stress levels, the art isn’t just decorative anymore.” Illustrating this trend, Arts & Health Alliance did a survey of 129 Veterans Medical Centers in 2013. More than half of them offered arts programming at patients' bedside and more than forty percent have rotating art exhibits, permanent art collections, commissioned paintings or sculptures.

what she liked to do outside of work she paused, only able to reflect on herself as “Alex the bartender.” Throughout the competition, Alex found her answer to the judges' question and another passion. From then on, she set out to find ways to promote better lives for people that work in hospitality. To combat mental health in the hospitality industry, Alex and Lauren Paylor co-founded Focus on Health in March of 2020, just before the pandemic. Little did Alex and Lauren know that their business was coming at a time of need for many in the hospitality world. Focus on Health advocates for people working in the hospitality industry, with a primary focus on the food and beverage sector. The company has five areas of focus: physical wellness, mental wellness, environmental wellness, social wellness and financial wellness. It reaches more than 3,000 people across the nation through podcasts, trainings, newsletters, social media and more.

“There needs to be conversations about like the lack of wellbeing in an industry that's, in our surrounding, taking care of other people. Why are all of these people that are so beloved in our industry killing themselves or dying of an overdose or whatever it may be? It’s because they don't have the resources available to them to take care of themselves when they need it most. And that’s really where Focus on Health came from,” Alex says. It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day and understand why Alex’s nearly 17-hour day is jam-packed. But between managing the bar at Death & Co., supporting and growing Focus on Health, and taking care of her own wellbeing, both physically and mentally, Alex is finding balance. “For myself personally, my life goal's to live a calmer life, work less and live more comfortably,” Alex says, a goal she’s working on each and every day.
