The Endurance Philosophy *
Endurance (n.):
The ability to withstand hardship or adversity; the capacity to sustain prolonged effort over time.
The planning connection:
In ultra-distance running, endurance isn’t about speed — it’s about resilience. It’s staying steady through heat, rain, steep climbs, and unexpected detours. The strongest runners are the ones who know how to adapt, manage risk, fuel smart, and keep moving forward — mile after mile.
Retirement planning follows the same terrain.
The market climbs, dips, and throws surprises. Health changes. Family needs evolve. Tax rules shift.
A plan built only for ideal conditions won’t go the distance.
A plan built on endurance will.
Why Endurance Adds a New Layer to Retirement Planning
Advisors today aren’t ignoring longevity. You’re already designing sophisticated retirement strategies — balancing growth, income, tax planning, and client behavior.
Endurance doesn’t replace what you’re doing. It sharpens it.
The Endurance Plan approach brings a behavioral, emotional, and strategic lens that strengthens your planning work by:
Accounting for the emotional fatigue clients face in long retirement phases
Building resilience into income streams that support confidence through volatility
Providing protection against the unknown unknowns every long journey holds
Coaching clients beyond the numbers — helping them stay focused, disciplined, and secure
Endurance means clients don’t just retire. They move forward with confidence — no matter what the years ahead bring.
The Role We Play
We don’t lead with product. I lead with partnership.

Protection That Endures
The truth is — annuity and insurance solutions today aren’t what they were even 5 years ago. Innovation has created powerful tools that can play a meaningful role in an endurance-focused retirement plan. But with innovation comes complexity.
That’s where we come in.
As your dedicated partner, my team and I become your extended back office — a resource built to support you every step of the way:
Navigating today’s increasingly complex product landscape
Interpreting the small print, the moving parts, and the nuanced differences that can dramatically affect outcomes
Vetting the options so you’re confident every recommendation is tailored for your client’s exact needs
This isn’t one-size-fits-all. True endurance planning demands customization, clarity, and the discipline to go deeper.
“You stay client-facing. We work behind the scenes to ensure you always have expert guidance, technical horsepower, and a partner who cares as much about your client’s long-term success as you do.”
Let’s Build Plans That Endure
Endurance isn’t about speed. It’s not about perfection. It’s about the ability to adapt, absorb the unexpected, and keep moving forward — mile after mile, year after year.
That’s the kind of planning your clients deserve.
That’s the kind of partnership we deliver.
If you’re ready to build retirement strategies that are designed to go the distance — through every market cycle, every life stage, every unexpected detour — we’re ready to help.
