Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brent Wright has a mix of skills that are in demand, but not necessarily in high-demand areas like tech. Equity research and strategic planning are valuable, but the market for these skills can be relatively stable. Considering his location in Tallahassee, Florida, which is not a major hub for these industries, his rate might be lower than in a major city. Looking at national averages, equity research analysts can earn around $80,000–$120,000 per year, while strategic planners can earn around $90,000–$140,000. However, these figures are not hourly rates. Assuming a 40-hour workweek and 52 weeks per year, we can estimate an hourly rate of around $100–$150. But Brent’s leadership and entrepreneurship skills add value, so I’ll adjust the rate downward to $125 per hour, which is still on the higher end of the spectrum.
