If life's a journey, where's the darned road map?
How to make life delicious?
Professionals routinely face familiar trade-offs that can suck the life out of life: Work or family? Time or money? Happiness or success?
Does it have to be this way?
ENRICH provides a framework to empower you to take control, reclaim, and enrich your life – to create the life you really want.
Core ENRICH principles:
- Financial security creates optionality at work and in life.
- Future-proofing financial security mitigates dependence upon a paycheck and should be every’s professional’s urgent priority. Especially if you have a “good” job.
- Avoid the default setting. If you do not set your priorities, someone else will.
- Relentless Intentionally. Planning and goal setting vastly improve the probability of success–especially with financial goals.
- We do not find happiness; we create it.
- It’s about Time. Time is the most valuable currency. Consider all future possibilities and the abundance of time going forward–and spend this time wisely.
- The goal is to Ignite all that matters.
The ENRICH method:
Through a six-step process, ENRICH teaches you how to accelerate financial security, create time wealth, and ignite what’s most important. The progress you make day-to-day and month-to-month may be incremental, but the cumulative impact of these strategies is transformational.

About Todd Miller
Who the heck is this guy and why can he help me?
That’s probably what you’re thinking, right?
For decades I have probed and aggressively experimented with the work-life equation. I’m a career ladder kind-of-guy demanding more from life than just climbing the ladder. At an Ivy League business school I learned a lot about corporate finance, but nothing about personal finance. I discovered we’re often prepared to build prestigious careers, but unprepared to lead meaningful lives.
What I learned the hard way about creating financial security: You cannot outsource financial security, and you certainly can’t ignore it. You have to take control of your financial future, make time, make a plan, and own it.
You have to get into the driver’s seat. It’s your time and your life.
Why Todd?
While scaling the corporate ladder, I:
- Intentionally created a family through adoption.
- Structured two sabbaticals, within and between jobs.
- Organized epic annual extended family vacations all over the world.
- Cycled coast-to-coast across two continents.
- Raised substantial funds for Asian children’s charities.
- Explored more than one hundred countries on all seven continents.
- Designed and constructed a dream beach house
- Tested radical but potent work structures.
I’ve also performed the ultimate life hack. At age 53, I fully retired on the Andaman Sea to devote time to the people and projects that light me up.
Did you notice something about the above list?
I didn’t include a single career achievement in describing who I am and what I stand for. That’s a key ENRICH principle.
But don’t get me wrong. I have buckets of corporate experience in the entertainment industry, where I honed these work-life strategies. In senior leadership with a major Hollywood studio and as CEO of Asia’s largest independent regional broadcaster, for more than a quarter-century I led multimillion-dollar businesses in one of the world’s most dynamic and diverse regions. I helped to entertain tens of millions of consumers while maneuvering through massive industry consolidation and technological disruption.
And I confronted more corporate BS than anyone deserves in a lifetime.
It's About YOU
For a kid from Kentucky I’m blessed with a colorful career and life. But this isn’t about me.
It’s about YOU.
What I learned the hard way about creating financial security: You cannot outsource financial security, and you certainly can’t ignore it. You have to take control of your financial future, make time, make a plan, and own it. You have to get into the driver’s seat. It’s your time and your life.
Here’s how I can help:
I understand the debilitating impact of financial insecurity. I’ve been on the wrong side of corporate restructuring and disruption. I’ve endured Monday Morning Malaise, and fully get how unhappiness at work can pollute life–even when everything else rocks.
Distracted by a cushy job in a sexy business, I failed to appreciate the imperative of accelerating financial security. Financial freedom never even crossed my mind while I was busy climbing the ladder. Until I hit a mid-career speed bump. Then I was handicapped by financial insecurity.
That’s when I urgently realized that economic security is foundational.
Upon this realization, I hustled to fast-track financial freedom. Less than five years later, using the ENRICH principles, I engineered outright financial security. I was no longer a wage slave. Though I continued to work for several more years, employment became optional.
When you choose to work, you anticipate Monday mornings. That changes everything.
And it can change your life, too.
