Nashville’s experts on building wealth now
What makes you and your firm different than all the other financial planners around town?

After almost two decades utilizing this method and philosophy one-on-one with over a thousand families, and speaking to groups of thousands around the country, I can truly say people get excited when they finally gain clarity and visibility into their wealth planning using this approach. And, after 20 years I still get excited like a little kid every single time I get to walk a new potential client through our process.

This book was a way to share my dad’s selfless story of hard work and love for his family, as well as get my unique Retire While You Work® philosophy out to the world. It centers around the core belief that Time is the only true currency, and money is simply a means to allow you to spend your time doing the things you love with people you love, creating memories and experiences- not just accumulating stuff and things.
