Steve Mazda is a nationally recognized author, keynote speaker, and investment professional who has spent more than four decades helping people make better decisions, not just with their money, but with the habits and mindset that shape their lives.

While his career began in the financial world, helping establish some of the first 401(k) plans in the United States and guiding clients through investment and retirement planning, Steve quickly recognized that financial success is rarely about numbers alone. It’s about perspective, discipline, and the everyday choices people make over time.

Throughout his career, Steve has focused on simplifying complex ideas and connecting them to real life. His approach blends practical experience with relatable storytelling, helping people understand not just what to do, but why it matters and how to apply it in their own lives.

He is the author of Love & 401(k) Magic, a collection of short stories that share life lessons with meaningful financial implications, and the executive producer of 401(k) Magic, an award-winning educational film that brings those same ideas to a broader audience in an engaging and accessible way.

Today, Steve continues to advocate for stronger financial literacy, but his message goes beyond dollars and cents. Through his writing, speaking, and media, he encourages people to build habits, think long-term, and make thoughtful decisions that lead to a more secure, and more fulfilling, future.
