SAMUEL ODURO, EA · MBA
I spent years inside Big Four firms (EY and PwC) helping family offices and high-net-worth investors structure their tax strategy. Then I built Empower Capital so the same caliber of advice could reach the rest of us — the traders, the founders, the people building wealth without a $50k retainer.
The Sunday Brief is the version of the conversation I’d have with you over coffee. The Tracker is what I’d hand you on the way out.
WHAT SUBSCRIBERS SAY
"The best Sunday-morning tax read. Four paragraphs, no filler, always specific. I keep a folder for my accountant and forward every single issue."
"The tracker alone saved me from underpaying by $9k last quarter. I’ve already forwarded it to three friends who trade."
"Sam’s YouTube videos got me here. The newsletter is actually better — tighter, more useful, no algorithm pressure to be loud."
FREQUENTLY ASKED
How often do you email?
Once. Sundays, 7am ET. That’s it. You will not get a daily digest, a sales sequence, or a Black Friday push.
Is the budget tracker really free?
Yes. The moment you confirm your subscription, the tracker arrives in your inbox as a Google Sheets / Excel link. Keep it forever, even if you unsubscribe later.
Is this only for crypto investors?
No. About half of subscribers are crypto-native, the rest are W-2 earners, founders, and equity-comp folks. The Brief covers strategy that compounds for anyone earning above six figures.
Can the newsletter replace a tax advisor?
Honestly — for most people, yes, ninety percent of the time. For the other ten percent, our firm handles 1-on-1 advisory at empowercapital.co. The newsletter is free either way.
Will you sell my email?
Never. Not to advertisers, not to "partners," not to anyone. Unsubscribe any time with one click.
