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.

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.
