Financial Fast Track Radio Achieves Strong Audience Growth as Interest in Tax-Smart Retirement Planning Surges
Show led by retirement strategist Tod Long becomes a rising educational authority, supported by Long Financial Services.
Frisco, TX, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Financial Fast Track Radio, an educational retirement-planning broadcast hosted by financial strategist Tod Long, is expanding its reach and influence as one of the region’s fastest-growing platforms dedicated to helping Americans make informed retirement decisions. The program, which airs Saturdays at 8 AM on KOKC 95.3 FM and 1 PM on KQOB Freedom 96.9 FM, was founded to simplify complex retirement topics and give pre-retirees and retirees practical tools to build tax-efficient, risk-managed retirement strategies.
“The response from listeners has been incredible,” said Tod Long, host of Financial Fast Track Radio. “People want straightforward, tax-smart guidance they can actually use. The surge in audience engagement tells us that retirees are hungry for education – not hype – and we’re committed to meeting that need with clarity and consistency every week.”
Addressing Modern Retirement Challenges
Every week, Financial Fast Track Radio demystifies the strategies that matter most to today’s retirees, covering:
- Roth conversion timing and tax planning
- Coordinated withdrawal sequencing
- Social Security optimization
- Income planning and protection against sequence-of-returns risk
- Risk-managed annuity structures
- Long-term wealth preservation
The show is purposefully structured as an education-first platform, offering listeners straightforward but comprehensive explanations of retirement concepts that often create confusion or costly mistakes. Rather than focusing on predictions or market speculations, episodes center on disciplines that help retirees preserve their savings and reduce future tax burdens.
Many listeners relate to issues commonly seen in Long’s advisory work. Pre-retirees often start with $500,000 - $2 million saved yet lack a coordinated tax strategy – an oversight that can result in higher taxes throughout their 60s and 70s. Others carry four to six different retirement accounts, each with separate rules and tax implications. Without a plan, this fragmentation can lead to unnecessary penalties, higher Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), or inefficient income withdrawals.
Financial Fast Track Radio brings these everyday challenges to light, helping listeners recognize planning gaps and understand how strategic decisions may improve their retirement outlook. Research cited on the broadcast suggests that many families may potentially see improved projected lifetime tax outcomes when withdrawal sequencing, RMD planning, and partial Roth conversions are coordinated effectively.
The Athlete-Turned Strategist Behind the Program
Long brings a unique blend of professional financial expertise and elite athletic discipline to the show. Before his career in financial services, he competed as a Nike professional sprinter, earning seven Big 8 conference championships, 6 NCAA all American honors, and two World Championship and two USA championship titles. He now applies that same structured, repeatable mindset to retirement planning. Over the past 23 years, he has helped hundreds of families, business owners, and professionals transition from accumulation to income, prioritizing tax efficiency and risk management.
Long’s athletic background strongly influences his planning philosophy. He often describes retirement strategy as a disciplined, multi-phase process rather than a single event. This mindset resonates with listeners who are navigating some of the most consequential financial decisions of their lives.
“Retirement isn’t just about what you’ve saved, it’s about what you keep and how long it lasts,” says Long. “That’s why education is powerful. When you understand the system, you can use it to your advantage.”
Long Financial Services: The Firm Behind the Expertise
While Financial Fast Track Radio serves as public platform for financial education, it is supported by the expertise of Long Financial Services – the advisory firm founded by Long to help individuals build tax-efficient, risk-managed retirement plans. The firm serves households with $250,000 to $5 million or more in assets and focuses on personalized income planning, Roth conversion strategies, Social Security optimization, risk management, and long-term wealth preservation.
The firm also assists in transitioning employer-sponsored plans, including 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) rollovers, with typical amounts ranging from $150,000 to $400,000. These transitions often provide a clean foundation for building a unified retirement income strategy that aligns with long-term goals and risk tolerance.
A Growing Platform with a Clear Mission
As Financial Fast Track Radio continues to gain momentum, its mission remains focused on empowering individuals through clear, accessible education. The show’s rising popularity demonstrates that today’s retirees are seeking not only advice but understanding, an opportunity to make well informed decisions that directly influence their quality of life in retirement.
