Meet Steve Jurich - Author of "The Quiet Money Machine"

Steve Jurich is the founder of THINK Retirement Inc. and THINK Wealth Advisory, LLC, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada. He has counseled hundreds of retirees since 1994, after a successful career as a real estate broker. He is known for his expertise in annuities and income planning for retirement.

Steve is best known as the host of his popular financial talk radio show, which aired from 2015 through 2025, "Mastering Money." The content-rich program was Arizona's only daily radio show dedicated to retirement. Unlike pre-recorded weekend radio infomercials to sell products, Steve's show was known for contemporary, relevant content related to investing and retirement. The entertaining show amassed well over a thousand on-air appearances and over 500,000 podcast downloads. His new weekly podcast is titled THINK Retirement NOW.

Steve is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary, a Certified Annuity Specialist, a Kiplinger contributor, and a member in good standing of the Financial Planning Association. He is licensed in securities and insurance/annuities.

Steve originated the THINK WEALTH Smarter Bucketing System and is the author of the Amazon bestseller Smart Is the New Rich and the Quiet Money Machine. He has personally placed over $200 million in annuities during his career and managed over $60 million in equity assets at Fidelity and Schwab. Steve's commentary has appeared on MarketWatch, CNBC.com, Bloomberg, and TheStreet.com. He serves clients nationwide with an emphasis on Metro Phoenix and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Steve now broadcasts a weekly podcast, "THINK Retirement Now," which continues to explore, explain, entertain, and inform. He works with discriminating individuals planning their retirements who want facts, not sales maneuvers. Steve partners with vetted agents and advisors nationwide, supported by a multi-billion-dollar annuity organization that leads the field.
