Stories that move audiences to act.

Kurt Baker brings two decades of conversations — from first-time founders to billionaires — to the stage. Talks on building businesses, mastering money, and finding purpose through loss that leave audiences changed, not just informed.

Why Kurt

A speaker who has lived every story he tells.

Kurt isn't a speaker who read about business in a book. He's a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ who has spent his career inside the real decisions of business owners — and as host of the Master Your Finances radio show, he's interviewed everyone from first-time founders to billionaires.

He also knows loss. After his son Kenny passed, Kurt turned grief into purpose by co-founding a national mental-health nonprofit. That range — sharp business insight and hard-won humanity — is why audiences don't just take notes. They take action.

Each talk is tailored to your audience and outcome — from a 20-minute keynote to a half-day workshop.

01

Build a Freedom Ready Business

02

Master Your Finances

Money lessons from entrepreneurs ranging from startups to billionaires. Practical, story-driven wisdom on building wealth, making meaning of money, and answering the question money alone can't: what is enough?

03

From Loss to Purpose

After losing his son Kenny, Kurt and his wife founded Attitudes In Reverse®. A moving, hope-filled talk on resilience, mental health, and turning the worst moment of your life into your greatest purpose.

04

The Entrepreneur's Journey

Two decades of stories from the founders, advisors, and operators Kurt has interviewed and served. What separates the ones who build something lasting from the ones who burn out — and how to be the former.
