Alan Porter

Some people build wealth. Others help people sleep at night while they do it.

Alan Porter sits at the rare intersection of strategy, stewardship, and long-term thinking. He has spent decades advising business owners and high achievers on how to grow, protect, and transfer wealth in ways that actually align with the life they want to live. Not just the balance sheet they want to admire.

As the founder of Strategic Wealth Strategies, Alan has guided entrepreneurs through moments that quietly define a lifetime. Big exits. Unexpected downturns. Succession decisions. The internal reckoning that comes when success arrives and clarity does not.

What makes Alan different is not just technical expertise. It is the lived understanding that money magnifies whatever is unresolved. Ambition. Fear. Identity. Purpose. He has seen how quickly financial wins can become emotional liabilities when strategy outpaces self-awareness.

His work is grounded in one simple but uncomfortable truth. Wealth without intention eventually creates friction. With family. With health. With yourself.

This conversation opens the door to the decisions no one talks about while they are busy chasing growth. The private doubts behind public success. The trade-offs entrepreneurs make without realizing the long-term cost. And the moment when building more stops being the answer, and building better becomes the real work.
