Our co-founder and CEO Terry Dry, was recently on Patricia Raskin’s Positive Living Show on Voice America, where he shares the story behind our latest venture Smarter, as well as some insights on entrepreneurship and our process at Future Proof Advisors!
Terry talks about why he launched Smarter—a tech advisory service for older adults. As a member of the sandwich generation, he faced the unique challenge of caring for both elderly parents and school-aged children. Through this experience, he discovered the incredible potential of technology in providing remote support for his parents’ needs.
During the episode, Terry shares heartfelt stories of how many friends and colleagues found themselves in similar situations—juggling the roles of caregivers and unintentional tech support for their parents. It was a journey of learning, compassion, and innovation.
Terry also reveals the valuable lessons he learned throughout his career and his passion for helping others along their entrepreneurial journey. He touches on the myth of entrepreneurship, emphasizing that it’s not always a smooth ride. Success requires adaptability, perseverance, and a clear understanding of your purpose—your “why.”
At Future Proof Advisors, we firmly believe in aligning personal and business goals to create a powerful North Star. Terry highlighted the importance of looking beyond just making the business work, and instead, focusing on how the business can serve your life’s purpose and desires.
