The Ozarks Retirement Show

This is a long story that I will make as short as possible. The rights to the "Safe Money Radio" brand was recently purchased by someone in Arizona and they have started their own “Safe Money Radio Show and Podcast.” There have been 4 episodes that have aired on YouTube in recent weeks.

About 2 years ago when this purchase was transpiring, the former owner and new owner of the SMR brand came to our office and put the hard push on me, wanting me to become their “voice” and “national spokesperson." This would have required a lot of travel all over the US, which would have meant no time to serve all of you, our trusted clients.

They wanted me to train all of their agents/advisors and radio/podcast hosts. Simply put, I turned down their offer.

Things were pretty quiet the past 18 months. They were busy building their new brand and websites and recruiting new agents and advisors. What had once grown to 65 advisors all over the US on Safe Money Radio back in 2018 has only been one person from 2022-2026 and that was me.

The new owners attempted to start new radio shows for about 10 of their advisors in 2025-26, and all of those radio shows have already failed. They are no longer on the air. The new owner is now attempting to host a podcast, which he is calling "The Safe Money Radio Podcast." As you know, this is the name of our podcast and show, which has been airing for more than 16 years now.

I personally built the Safe Money Radio brand. It is known all over the US because of me and the success of the show.

I do not want to be confused with the new owners or their new version of Safe Money Radio. And this is already happening when people go to YouTube or Google and type in Safe Money Radio.

As a result of this, effective September 5^th, in one week, the PODCAST and RADIO SHOW will officially become “The Ozarks Retirement Show” with Brad Pistole. This aligns with the name of our company and our desire to serve this community and people all over the US with their complete retirement income plan.

You will see our new billboards around town and you will hear our new commercials and adds on the radio.

If you are already subscribed to the podcast, the only thing that will change is the name. The new show will be BIGGER and BETTER than ever. And we have some exciting announcements coming later this fall about our continued growth and ability to serve all of you.
