Kaye Ginsberg, Founder & Owner, Peace of Mind Transitions

Kaye didn’t realize it at the time, but her childhood in an Air Force family who moved every 2 or 3 years, was the perfect foundation for running a Senior Move Management company.

This discovery came later in life as Kaye’s early career was in Advertising and Publishing, including time in New York City as Marketing Director of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. Kaye and her husband, Allen, moved to Atlanta in 1992, where she became a full-time mom to their three wonderful children while continuing to use her marketing skills in volunteer capacities.

In 2014, Kaye was introduced to the world of Senior Move Management when her out-of-state mother needed to move to a senior living community. Kaye began to investigate and then joined NASMM, the National Association of Senior & Specialty Move Managers, completed introductory training and started the company in June of 2016.

Kaye began Peace of Mind Transitions with the thought that it would be a small company with one or two of her friends helping as needed. But as time went on, demand for their services increased as the number of senior living communities in the Atlanta market took off and the communities appreciated the professional, quality work the company provided.

They now have a team of 25 people who are passionate about helping clients through what can be a difficult period in their lives.

Kyle Schmidt and Jacob May, BIP Wealth (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 437)

As former major league baseball players, Kyle Schmidt and Jacob May have a firsthand understanding of the unique challenges professional baseball players have in managing their financial situation. Kyle and Jacob joined host John Ray to discuss their work in the Baseball Division of BIP Wealth, which involves serving players from their initial contract through and into retirement. They discussed BIP Wealth’s history working with baseball players, how they help players learn wise financial practices for themselves and their families, the current situation with the collective bargaining agreement, and much more. North Fulton Business Radio is broadcast from the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® inside Renasant Bank in Alpharetta.

BIP Wealth

Every investor should have a plan. Markets will go up and down, but a solid plan prescribes, in advance, how to react.

For investments, BIP subscribes to the “buy low and sell high” approach. But a plan goes beyond that. Investors often need help figuring out how to reduce their tax burden, how to pass on assets to the next generation in an optimal manner, and how to protect against the risk of loss for all manner of unforeseen life events.

At BIP, they work with each client to help formulate a personalized life plan. Over time, they constantly update client plans as life unfolds and markets change. A core belief of their planning philosophy is the use of fairly pessimistic projections for the future. They may be optimists at our core, but the objective of planning at BIP is to look for failure points. So they plan for high taxes, reduced government entitlement outlays, and for clients to live longer than they ever expected. Sometimes their plans may not produce results that are as rosy as those from other firms, but with BIP’s planning process you can be confident they’ve worked hard to account for the possible bad outcomes that could derail your financial success.
