A note for Financial Fast Track listeners

The show you heard on the radio
just became a national platform.

If you've been listening to Financial Fast Track — on the radio in Oklahoma, or through the podcast — I want you to hear this directly from me: I'm not going anywhere. The show has evolved.

Financial Fast Track gave me a way to bring real retirement income strategy to people in the region. But radio has format constraints. Quick segments. Commercial breaks. You can't fully unpack sequence of returns risk, or walk through a Roth conversion window, or explain why a 91% Monte Carlo success rate isn't the same as a guaranteed paycheck — not in that format.

The Income Standard is what Financial Fast Track was always trying to be. A national platform. No format limits. Built specifically for pre-retirees who want their retirement income engineered — not guessed at.

Same host. A deeper standard.

Everything that made
FFT worth listening to —
with room to go further.

Twenty-two years. Licensure across 32 states. The same commitment to honest, direct retirement income education — zero product-pushing, zero fear tactics, zero vague generalities.


What's different is the depth. The Income Standard is built around one central question that most retirement planning still doesn't ask: Where does every dollar of your retirement income come from — and does that structure hold?


That's income architecture. And every episode is built around it.

What hasn't changed
Tod Long — same voice, same 22-year track record
Focus on pre-retirees with real assets at stake
Zero product-pushing disguised as education
Real numbers, real scenarios, real structural analysis
The conviction that income planning matters more than portfolio size
What's been elevated
A national platform — available everywhere you listen
No format limits — episodes go as deep as the topic demands
Structured curriculum: Income Floor, SOR Risk, RMD Planning, Roth Conversion
Interactive planning tools at theincomestandard.com
A complimentary Income Standard Review — your architecture, measured
"The problem was never the portfolio. The problem was that nobody had designed an income structure that could hold."

Tod Long · The Income Standard

What You'll Find on The Income Standard

Income is engineered.
Not accumulated. Not hoped for.

Topic 01

The Income Floor

How to build a guaranteed income base that covers your non-negotiable expenses — so your portfolio isn't carrying a job it wasn't designed for.

Topic 02

Sequence of Returns Risk

The one risk most retirees never plan for. A bad first three years can permanently alter your retirement — before most people realize something went wrong.

Topic 03

RMD Planning

Required Minimum Distributions are a structural event that must be planned around before age 73 — not reacted to when the IRS starts the clock.

Topic 04

Fixed Index Annuities

When they work, when they don't, and how to evaluate them honestly — without the pressure of a sales appointment framing the analysis.

Topic 05

Social Security Optimization

Filing timing, spousal coordination, and how Social Security fits into — or disrupts — the broader income architecture you're trying to build.

Topic 06

Roth Conversion Strategy

The window between retirement and RMD age is one of the most valuable tax-planning opportunities in your financial life. Most people miss it entirely.
