Meet Brett Blake
Brett Blake is 58 years old and navigating the same retirement questions his listeners are.
His Harvard MBA taught him almost nothing about retirement income — but it taught him how to learn fast, how to ask the questions nobody else is asking, and how to get to the bottom of complicated problems until the answers actually make sense.
Throughout his career, Brett built businesses by doing one thing well: bringing together the right people, the right tools, and the right information so that independent entrepreneurs could reach their own goals. He’s now applying that same instinct to retirement — bringing together the country’s leading experts and the real stories of people living proof that a worry-free retirement is possible.
“My Harvard MBA taught me nothing about retirement income. What it did teach me was how to ask the right questions — and not stop until the answers make sense. That’s what we do here every week.”
Plain-language conversations about retirement income.
Most Americans spend 40 years learning how to save for retirement. Almost nobody teaches them what to do next — how to turn that savings into income that lasts, without running out before they do.
That gap has real consequences. Questions about longevity risk, Social Security timing, market volatility, taxes, and whether an annuity may or may not be right for your situation — these are the conversations most people never get to have in plain English.
Tax advisors, estate planners, and real retirees living proof that a long, worry-free retirement is possible — to give you those conversations.
