Houston and Dallas to host transformative casting calls for new reality TV show helping 1 million Americans plan for lifetime financial security
In the midst of economic uncertainty and rising concerns about retirement readiness, financial expert and entrepreneur Terence Bradford is hitting the road with a groundbreaking mission: to help 1 million people never run out of money in retirement.
Bradford’s new purpose-driven reality television series, A Check For Life, is launching a nationwide casting tour, with its first two major stops in Houston on November 22, 2025, and Dallas on December 6, 2025. The show will ultimately select 10 contestants across five U.S. cities to undergo a complete financial transformation on camera—learning how to build sustainable income streams for life.
“I’m trying to cure a financial disease that’s been quietly robbing families for decades,” said Bradford. “Too many people run out of money simply because they didn’t know the tools or options available to them. I’m here to change that—one person at a time.”
From Wall Street Roots to Main Street Impact
A Bronx native with a Wall Street pedigree, Terence Bradford earned his Series 7 license in 1996 and rose through the ranks to become a Senior Regional Vice President for a Fortune 500 financial firm. His career has spanned nearly three decades—equipping him with the experience and insight to help Americans across all walks of life turn financial stress into stability.
Through A Check For Life, Bradford aims to demystify retirement planning, break generational cycles of lack, and teach everyday people how to create their own self-funded pensions using proven lifetime income strategies.
The series will feature celebrity appearances and expert-led challenges designed to make financial literacy relatable, practical, and emotionally empowering. The show is executive produced by Holly Robinson Peete, hosted by Tess Hammock, and features Indya Kellman as one of the panel experts.

Bradford’s larger-than-life mission is backed by real impact—he’s already reached millions through financial literacy tours alongside Russell Simmons and Suze Orman, and has been featured in CNN Money and Fortune Magazine alongside Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, and Colin Powell.
Giving Back This Holiday Season—With Financial Empowerment
As the holidays draw near, A Check For Life offers a powerful gift: the knowledge to change lives long after the decorations come down. The Texas casting calls mark the beginning of a national initiative to bring financial empowerment directly to communities in need—at a time when many are seeking stability and hope.
“This show isn’t about who has the most money,” said Bradford. “It’s about who’s ready to learn how to keep it—and make it last for life.”
With stops also planned in Atlanta (Nov 15), Los Angeles (Dec 13), and New York (Dec 20), the show’s tour represents a timely message in the wake of government shutdowns and financial instability. For Bradford, A Check For Life is more than a show—it’s a movement to transform how America prepares for its future.
