The #1 Roth Conversion Mistake That Costs Retirees
Most people missed the first Roth conversion window. History is offering a rare second chance — but not a long one.
With today's tax rates extended, IRA Millionaires have a brief stretch of historically low brackets left. When it closes, the math changes: higher rates, bigger required distributions, and fewer conversion opportunities each year you wait.
Craig Wear, CFP®, has spent 15+ years helping more than 3,000 families with $1M+ in IRAs plan Roth conversions — helping them avoid a projected $10B+ in lifetime taxes. His new book, Roth Conversion Reset, is the step-by-step playbook:
Lock in today's low rates
Avoid RMD surprises at 73
Protect your spouse from survivor taxes
Keep more for your heirs
The book is free — no credit card, no shipping. The full PDF lands in your inbox in minutes.

A New Clay Exhibit Just Opened Down by the River
Many of us have seen the sign for Dublin Arts Council on Riverside Drive. Most of us have probably even peeked at the building from the road and wondered what's inside. Well, it turns out there's a working pottery studio in the basement, and right now it's got its own exhibit.
It's called Thrown Together: A Community in Clay, and it comes out of Kiln Room Dublin — the studio that's been working out of that basement for the past three years. Thirteen member artists, ranging from decades of experience to just starting out, use the space to throw, glaze, and fire their own work.
Mark Jordan runs the studio day to day. The rest of the group — sometimes called the Dublin Clay Artists — includes several longtime Dublin residents who've been part of the space since it opened.
The exhibit runs July 16 through August 28 at Dublin Arts Council, 7125 Riverside Drive. Admission and parking are free, and the gallery's open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., plus second Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you've never been down to that basement studio, this is a good excuse.

Zeus's Lightning Bolt Just Went Missing in Dublin
If you've got kids who are into fantasy and adventure stories, mark this one down: Abbey Theater is putting on The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, running Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 7-16, at Coffman Amphitheater, 5200 Emerald Parkway.
It's the rock musical version of the story — Percy finds out he's the son of a Greek god, gets blamed for stealing Zeus's lightning bolt, and has to prove his innocence before the gods start a war over it. Somehow homework problems feel smaller after that.
Abbey Theater's known for drawing its casts straight from the community — everyone from elementary schoolers to retirees have taken the stage there this year. Tickets are available through their website.

How the Dublin Police Keep an Eye on 90,000 People
Picture Coffman Park this weekend — 90,000 people packed shoulder to shoulder for three days of music, dancing, and pints, spread across a park that's hard enough to walk end to end, let alone watch over.
That's the job Dublin Police's drone unit has this weekend. It's not new — the unit's been flying since 2020 — but it's earned its keep in moments most of us never hear about. Officers have used it to find people who couldn't be reached any other way, including someone in a mental health crisis who'd driven off-road into thick woods where officers on foot couldn't spot the car. From above, they found it in minutes.
That's the same idea at play this weekend, just at festival scale — a set of eyes that can cover ground fast, in a crowd too big for officers to watch corner to corner. If something goes wrong — a medical issue, a lost kid — the drone gets there before the crowd even notices.

A Note From Nick
You Asked How to Help. Here’s How.
A few of you have reached out asking how you can support Dublin Daily — and honestly, it means a lot just to hear that. Here's what actually helps.
The single biggest thing: forward this to a neighbor, a friend, or anyone who loves Dublin and might not know we exist yet. Word of mouth is everything for a local newsletter. Or just share dublinohiodaily.com next time Dublin comes up in conversation.
If you ever have a tip — a local business worth spotlighting, an event coming up, something happening in your neighborhood — hit reply and tell us. That's the fuel that keeps this going.
We also have sponsors who make Dublin Daily free. If something catches your eye, click their links — it makes a real difference.
Thanks for being here. Dublin is a better place to live when we're all looking out for each other — and that's really what all this is about.
