## Resource

Want to stop treating taxes like something that just happens to you? On today's episode of Jet Setting Wealth Advisory, David T. Yu speaks with Robert Keller and Edward Lyon of Excel Empire, for a practical conversation on proactive tax planning, alternative investing, and reducing tax liability through forward-looking strategies. Ed shares why many successful people mistakenly assume their accountant is actively helping them pay less in taxes, while Bobby explains how his background in aviation shaped his approach to financial planning, risk management, and tax mitigation. From business owners and high-income W2 earners to aviation professionals, this episode highlights the importance of planning ahead, assembling the right team, and looking beyond traditional tax reporting. Key Takeaways: → Tax planning should be forward-looking, not just year-end reporting → High-income earners often have more tax options than they realize → The right advisory team can uncover overlooked planning opportunities → Alternative strategies may help reduce tax liability when properly structured → Failing to plan often leads to expensive missed opportunities More from Robert Keller and Edward Lyon: Website: excelempire.com Website: edwardalyon.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/robert-keller-28a2742a4 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/edward-lyon-7a9168 Engage with David T.
