Can You Really Retire Without Risk? The 3-Part Safe Money Plan

What if retirement planning didn't have to feel like gambling with your future? What if you could build a strategy that actually works for business owners who understand cash flow better than anyone?

In this powerful live episode, Brandon and Amanda team up with Mark Willis, CFP®, Evan Greathouse, and Kristi Duncan to challenge everything you think you know about "safe" retirement planning.

We're not talking about another cookie-cutter approach designed for employees with steady paychecks. This is about building what we call "the all-weather portfolio" – a three-part system that protects you from market crashes, inflation, and the seven overlooked assumptions that derail most retirement plans.

Whether you're 35 or 55, if you've ever wondered whether your current retirement strategy actually matches how you live and run your business, this episode will give you clarity. We break down the math, share real examples, and show you why adding more "ART" to your portfolio might be the missing piece you've been looking for.

Key Quote: "Most people have too little in the certainty portion of their portfolio. They're planning with probability when they should be planning with certainty."
