Get In The Game Podcast with Dr. Larry Sasso

On this episode of the Get In The Game Podcast, we feature a conversation with a longtime client who has worked with Larry for more than 35 years. Throughout her career, she moved across the country—living in Texas, Massachusetts, Louisiana, California, and now Florida—while Larry maintained his licensing in each state so he could continue advising her and personally visiting when possible. The discussion highlights the importance of trust and long-term relationships with a financial advisor, as well as the power of starting early and staying disciplined. By consistently contributing to her 401(k) and 403(b) plans, living conservatively, and following a long-term strategy, she is now debt-free and retired comfortably as of January 2026 with no financial stress. Her story reinforces that financial success does not happen overnight—it comes from decades of saving, staying in the game, and working with an advisor who communicates clearly and puts the client’s best interests first. *Client testimonial provided voluntarily by the client, no compensation was provided. 

In this 36-minute episode, "Get In The Game" host Larry Sasso sits down with District Attorney Joseph D. “Joe” Early, Jr. to discuss the critical role of financial literacy for young adults. Together they break down key issues impacting today’s youth—including predatory loans, identity theft, social media scams, and the rise of legalized gambling—and explore how informed financial decision-making can prevent exploitation and build a stronger future. As Larry Sasso emphasizes , financial literacy is justice in action: equipping every young person, regardless of background, with the tools they need to succeed!    

The debate is lively these days: is going to college really worth it? Tune in as Dr. Larry Sasso weighs in on the question and provides not only his answer, but the reasons why. It's not as simple as YES or NO, and Larry helps listeners navigate the considerations to help them make a financially literate decision about their college studies, including weighing student loans, future income, school cost, alternative routes (military service, community college, etc), having a guidance team, and more. Investing in education is always a good idea, but Larry helps listeners understand how to invest in it wisely and with a game plan. 

In this episode, Larry interviews his friend and longtime business partner Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton. Not only did Fran set NFL records with the Minnesota Vikings & New York Giants, for which he earned induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he has also had a very successful career as an entrepreneur, business leader, and mentor, building and running more than 30 successful businesses both during and since his playing career.
