Independent retirement and Bitcoin strategy consulting backed by proof of work
MBA. GLG expert advisor. VP-level operations background. Private investor. Modern Wealth Model is what I built to think clearly about money. Consulting is the small extension of that work.
Most financial conversations land somewhere generic. The advice doesn’t fit your situation, or the consultation is really a pitch in disguise. Modern Wealth Model exists because I wanted the version of these conversations that actually helps. Consulting works the same way. We look at your numbers honestly, talk through what you’re weighing, and you walk out with something you can act on.
About Colin
Colin Reed is an independent consultant with VP-level operations leadership experience with both private equity firms and publicly traded corporations. He is an active expert advisor on GLG, Coleman/VisasQ, and Nextyn. Investment firms and corporate strategy teams hire him for supply chain, logistics, and market dynamics consultations. Colin holds an MBA and built Modern Wealth Model as a private investor’s working set of tools for thinking about Bitcoin, retirement, and Austrian-economics-grounded financial planning.
The consulting practice is a small extension of that work. Most clients come with a specific question. How to size a Bitcoin allocation. Whether their FIRE math actually holds up. What to do about a 401(k) when they are starting to question dollar denomination. The format is a paid session, an hour or two of focused thinking, and a written summary you can act on. No portfolio management, no product sales, no commissions, no upsell on a premium tier. If it is not the right fit, I will say so.
