The people behind
Let’s Talk Safe Money^®.

With 37 years in the insurance industry, Art specializes in challenging traditional industry thinking. Art works closely with his clients in an effort to develop successful and tax-efficient strategies. Many of Art’s clients seek strategies relating to increasing their retirement income, reducing or possibly eliminating their tax burden, protecting their retirement assets from market volatility, and maximizing Social Security benefits.

Over the years, Art has provided tax-advantaged retirement planning to executives at a number of Fortune 500 companies, including Cisco, Georgia-Pacific, UPS and Citrix.

Art started his career in 1990 with MassMutual Financial. In 1997, Art joined Prudential Securities at their Aventura, Florida offices. He was registered in the securities industry from 1991 to 2017, where he obtained the Series 63, 66 and Series 7 General Securities licenses. He successfully completed the Life Underwriter Training Council course in 1994.

As an independent insurance broker, Art is able to provide products offered by most of the largest and top-rated companies in the industry. By not being tied to one company, he can seek out the best opportunities based on each client’s unique situation. Art presently heads the retirement planning team at LSF Capital, where he is known on radio and TV as the financial master chef.

Art and Len co-host their one-hour radio show, “Let’s Talk Safe Money,” on WIOD 610 AM, where they enjoy educating the public on cutting-edge retirement planning concepts.

Art recently collaborated with Martin Ruby and wrote the preface to a new book, “The No-Compromise Retirement Plan.”

Geoffrey Wight brings more than four decades of financial and personal experience to helping individuals and families approach retirement with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.

His financial services background spans retirement planning, annuities, life insurance, risk management, and wealth strategies. Geoffrey’s perspective has also been shaped by an unusually diverse career beyond financial services. As a former Director of Special Projects with the sports management leader IMG, and through other ventures, he has worked in the worlds of international sports, entertainment, equestrian sport, and network television. His career has brought him alongside world-class athletes, business leaders, entrepreneurs, families, and people from many different walks of life.

Those experiences reinforced something Geoffrey considers fundamental: financial planning is ultimately about people, not products. Every person brings a different history, family, set of responsibilities, hopes, and concerns to the conversation.

Today, Geoffrey draws upon both his financial background and life experience to help clients think through retirement decisions in a straightforward, understandable way. He believes good advice begins with listening, understanding what matters to someone before discussing what financial strategy may be appropriate.

His goal is simple: to help people protect what they have worked hard to build and use their financial resources to support a retirement, and a life, that is meaningful to them.
