Narrado por: Philip Chao

Backed by decades of academic study, regulatory insight, and investment fiduciary fieldwork, From Save to Safe reframes the way Americans must think and act regarding retirement income.

Philip Chao-a renowned ERISA expert and employer-sponsored retirement planning specialist — draws on a career advising public regulation commentary and myriad clients to expose how our legacy "401(k) mindset" leaves retirees vulnerable in decumulation.

This isn't theory — it's an urgently practical blueprint for transitioning from accumulation robustness to income sufficiency with clarity, confidence, and control. Whether you're a fiduciary, policymaker, or retiree-in-waiting, this book delivers research-tested models that replace guesswork with governance.

Employer-sponsored plan governance will never look the same.
