## Short answer

No. Todd Allyn is an educator, not a financial advisor. The Lab teaches decision integrity: a method for making big decisions deliberately and applying it to your own situation.

## Detail

It does not recommend investments or provide tax, legal or financial planning. Todd taught college economics, finance and business for 24 years, served as a business school dean, and made these four decisions himself as an American who retired at 62 and lives in Bogotá, Colombia.
