👤 About the Author

Mantel Featherson, EdD is the founder of FutureProof50, a platform dedicated to helping professionals over 50 own their expertise and earn six figures — without a 9-to-5 job.

After more than two decades leading transformation initiatives at Fortune 500 companies including DuPont, Merck, KPMG, and Amtrak, Mantel experienced firsthand that corporate loyalty no longer guarantees security. When he was laid off at 55, he turned that setback into a mission — to teach others how to build income, impact, and independence through ownership.

Combining insights from behavioral science, performance psychology, and entrepreneurial strategy, Mantel created the Expert to $100K System to guide midlife professionals in transforming their hard-earned expertise into six figure income - on your terms. 

His belief is simple:

“The future won’t favor employees — it will belong to owners.”
