The Income Standard is where retirement income is designed, not guessed. For decades, investors were told to accumulate assets, stay diversified, and trust the markets. But retirement isn’t about accumulation — it’s about distribution. And distribution requires engineering. This podcast is for pre-retirees and retirees who want a measurable, structured approach to retirement income. Each episode breaks down the frameworks, math, risks, and decision architecture behind sustainable income planning. No hype. No fear tactics. No product pushing. Just disciplined thinking about how income should be built, tested, and held to a standard. If you’ve built something over your lifetime, this show is about how to live on it — intelligently .
