Hi Reader,
What does risk vs reward mean?
Iām gonna call on Berne Brown here when she referenced Theodore Roosevelt, āThe credit belongs to the person [sic. man] who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause.ā
What is a more worthy cause than pursuing a life full of happiness, choice and freedom?
But what does it take to have that kind of life?
Per Berne and many others, it takes being in the arena!
So⦠are you?
Are you in the arena?
Are you willing to risk taking the steps from the cheap seats where itās easy to judge and cross the line to get on the field and pursue the results of taking that risk? Do you want the rewards?
Do you want greater happiness?
Do you want more choices?
Do you want freedom?
We think you do.
Weāre here to hold your hand as you step onto the field. Weāre here to coach you along. Weāre here to celebrate your wins.
Are you ready?

Your risk
What are you willing to risk to get those rewards?
We get it.
What we are offering isnāt cheap. We want to provide a world-class experience and as you know, world-class experiences arenāt cheap, but theyāre worth it.
Itās not for everyone. Weāre all at different places. Some of you arenāt financially ready for a risk like this. Some of you are ready and ready for the rewards that come with it.
To be honest, there were plenty of times in our lives when we would have looked at the risk (of $499, $499/mo or $749/mo) and wondered if the risk was worth the rewards.
Looking back on the past few years weāve taken such risks and weāve been able to celebrate the rewards.
Weāve lived in Spain for 3 months. Weāve heard the dings of sales from our online small business. Weāve been our own boss. Weāre house hacking a real estate investment.
Yet, back in 2020, when the world was going to hell in a handbasket, we were worried that we may have to give it all up and go back to a risk-free life. Our income was way down, while the cost of living was going up. So, we asked ourselves, ādo we want to step out of the arena?ā Once again, we took the risk and have seen the benefits.
Today, weāre putting that opportunity in front of you.
āCome join us.

Hi Reader, Retirement advice built for a life you didnāt live? No, thanks. Traditional retirement paths werenāt designed with LGBTQ+ workers or entrepreneurs in mindāand the data shows that. When we finally sat down to look at our finances, we were staring at $51,000 in credit card debtāand not much saved for retirement. Two professionals living in downtown Denver, trying to keep up appearances while quietly drowning. Sound familiar? We didnāt see ourselves in mainstream financial advice. It...
Hi Reader, Retirement advice built for a life you didnāt live? Hard pass. Traditional retirement paths werenāt built for child-free professionals, side-hustlers, or entrepreneursāand it shows. When we finally sat down to look at our finances, we were staring at $51,000 in credit card debtāand barely anything saved for retirement. Two professionals living in downtown Denver, trying to keep up appearances while quietly drowning. Sound familiar? We didnāt see ourselves in mainstream financial...
