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. But change is an opportunity, and those who accept it, learn from it, and move with it can take advantage in ways that were never available before.

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.

There for You: Benefits of a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Account

But what exactly is a 457(b), and why should it matter to you? There’s often some confusion between Deferred Compensation and the 457(b) plan. 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).
