RMD is thrilled to welcome Professor Jamie Hopkins, managing director of Carson Coaching and director of retirement research at Carson Group, as well as a member of the Academy for Home Equity in Financial Planning, to The RMD Podcast for a wide-ranging discussion!

The reverse mortgage industry has undergone a very unique stress test during the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that crisis has also affected the field of financial planning. To further gauge what these impacts might be, we’ve asked Jamie Hopkins to discuss what he’s seeing on the academic side in both fields, as well as his thoughts on how the reverse mortgage industry has had to transform itself after other changes have been forced upon it.
