Change You Can Control: A Conversation with Jenna Stoliker

Change is inevitable. It happens, and there is not much that can be done to steer the direction it will take. Change is hard, and many people resist it.

In this episode of Compounding Change, host Shannon Davis welcomes back Leadership coach Jenna Stolliker. Together, they discuss the challenges and resistance faced by individuals, particularly first responders, when it comes to financial change.

For most of the firefighters I work with in Ohio, these terms are used interchangeably, even though different cities or townships may offer different plans. In 2025, you can contribute up to $23,500 to your 457(b) account each year, either as a pre-tax contribution or as Roth (if your plan offers it).
