Meet John
John Skomski is the founder of Converge Wealth Partners and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. He helps aspiring retirees understand their finances and retire sustainably on their terms. His style is straightforward and relatable, focused on making the complex feel clear and doable.
Over the past decade, John has had more than 12,000 conversations with retirees and soon-to-be retirees. His practice focuses on designing tax-efficient retirement income strategies that support the lifestyle you want and adjust as life changes.
John also leads his signature Minding Wealth financial wellness workshops for companies, helping employees reduce money stress and make confident money decisions. He translates the same strategies high-net-worth families use into usable guidance for everyday life.
John hosted the Think Live Repeat podcast, a show with over 100 episodes featuring NYT & WSJ bestselling authors, a Grammy-winning musician, NFL athletes, and other leaders and creators. His interviews have provided listeners with unique insights into identity, purpose, and what it means to design a meaningful life.
John speaks, writes, records, and teaches with the same purpose: to make financial guidance straightforward. He believes most people don’t need more data; they need someone to help make sense of it and show how to use it with confidence.
Retirement Is a Joke launches in Spring 2026 and is his most ambitious project yet. John distills the thousands of retirement conversations he’s had into simple, practical strategies that actually work. All delivered with a side of mildly amusing humor.
Outside of work, he’s busy being a husband and dad. His humor often mirrors the markets, past performance does not guarantee future results.
