In this episode we sat down with Alex Flecker, VP of Sales and Marketing at Measured Risk Portfolios. Alex opened up about his unconventional path into finance—growing up with one foot in blue-collar construction and the other in white-collar finance. That blend of gritty work ethic and strategic thinking laid the groundwork for his deep interest in wealth management and structured credit. More than just a career, Alex's passion for finance is steeped in family influence and sharpened by real-world economic upheavals that taught him the true meaning of risk.

One standout part of the conversation was Alex's reflection on navigating the chaos of 2020. He recounted how critical it was to stay grounded—managing emotions and sticking to a financial plan when markets went haywire. Alex highlighted a universal truth for investors: knowing your risk tolerance isn’t optional, it’s essential. He pointed to how those who stayed disciplined and saw through the noise were the ones who seized opportunities during the market’s most volatile moments. His experience was a reminder that confidence, backed by strategy, can turn uncertainty into advantage.

Now at the helm of Measured Risk Portfolios, Alex is championing a clear vision: give investors a sense of control in chaotic markets. Enter "Synth Equity," the firm’s innovative strategy that fuses short-term treasury bonds with call options on the S&P 500—a combo designed to tap into growth while dialing down risk. Alex expressed real excitement about their new ETF, which opens this strategy up to a broader audience. It’s a tool for easier, smarter diversification. His story isn’t just about numbers—it’s about conviction, clarity, and helping investors navigate markets with a little more certainty and a lot more confidence.
