Brandi joined Raymond James with a goal of helping others develop their financial wellness and independence and to help non-profits increase the sustainability of their mission. Prior to joining Raymond James, she spent over 20 years in the non-profit industry holding the role of Executive Director for multiple organizations including, the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the Marshall Faulk Foundation. Additionally, her entrepreneurial spirit was able to flourish through her philanthropic consulting and event management company, BLeaf Management, where she spent over 10 years developing non-profits and managing professional athletes’ philanthropic endeavors in the communities they served.
Brandi embodies a strong desire to serve her community and feels there is nothing more rewarding than helping her clients identify and achieve their financial foundation and aspirations. Using a goals-based process and through active listening, Brandi carefully and strategically evaluates the various aspects of her client’s life, providing a single point of contact for addressing all financial needs. Through this approach, she identifies where they are today and where they want to be in the future, and then develops a strategy to get them there.
Her passion and vision to help clients build a strong financial foundation is based on her core-value proposition of:
-
Assisting small and mid-sized businesses, individuals, and families simplify the complex process of investing
-
Empowering women in all stages of life to understand the importance of financial investing, planning for retirement and financial independence
-
Partnering with charities to create true legacy and sustainability of mission thru investing
Brandi is an Accredited Asset Management Specialist (AAMS®). She also holds securities licenses7 and 66, along with her life and health insurance licenses. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Indiana State University, School of Business. She and her husband, Tracy, are residents of Franklin Township, where they enjoy spending time with their three children David, Lacy, and Julian, and family pup, Bailee. She and her family are members of Traders Point Christian Church. In her free time, she enjoys reading a great mystery book, attempting to golf, and loves any opportunity to be near or in the water.

Are you managing your money or is it managing you?
Did you know as women we now control more than ½ of the wealth in the United States? Yet over 38% of us are concerned about running out of money during our retirement years. What if this year was the year we started talking more about our financial frustrations and fears with one another? What if we came together in community to see we aren’t alone – and instead began learning together to be better and do better managing our money. Let’s Start the Conversation!
In our time together we will
-
Take an honest inventory of where we are today.
-
Talk about how a financially healthier you happens by taking 1 step at a time.
-
Set goals for how to achieve a finically healthy 2025.
-
Learn how to create a bucket strategy spending plan to simplify your budgeting
This workshop promises to help you take control of your path to financial success in 2025.

The History
Top Floor Women began in 2017 when Mindi Epstein had the vision to unite women on the south side of Indianapolis to network and develop personally and professionally. Since Mindi was an established business owner in Franklin, IN, she collaborated with the owners of "The Elevator" on the town square in Franklin, IN, on their TOP FLOOR. Top Floor Women became a popular monthly networking event that brings women from central Indiana together to meet, share, and connect. Mindi's vision is carried on:
​
​Melahni Ake, founder and president of Everyday Leaders, is continuing the momentum to serve women in our community. We welcome you to join us on the first Wednesday of every month to learn, grow, and make meaningful connections that can impact your life.
​
What's changed? We now record and share all of our speakers on our YOUTUBE channel. Thanks to JoeAkeStudios for supporting and capturing all of our events!
If you are ready to develop yourself personally and professionally, we offer monthly Masterminds on personal growth and leadership. We would love to have you join us!
