Oh, it's 13 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.159 pleasure. Thanks for having to be part of the part of the show. 14 00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.320 And the thing is fun this is you've kind of made a living doing this 15 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.200 again. You're with Pinnacle Wealth. And how long have you been working in 16 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.879 the financial industry, sir? Oh wow, it's over thirty five years. 17 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.120 Doesn't feel that long, but yeah, I've been doing it since nineteen eighty 18 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:15.599 seven, and over that course of time, you've had a chance to see 19 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.799 a lot of things come and go, and a lot of things happen, 20 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.200 haven't you. I have, I have, And really it kind of comes 21 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.920 out of a personal experience. So I kind of got into the industry after 22 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.120 the farm crisis hit, and you know, I was I was going to 23 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.319 be in habit ashery. I was going to be a clothing person that I 24 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.640 felt that was my calling. And the farm crisis hit and all of a 25 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.920 sudden, farmers became in question. I had a clothing business in a small 26 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:46.799 town and interest rates went to sixteen percent, So I had the hard lessons 27 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.599 of life saying, don't borrow too much money. So I had to get 28 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.920 out of the clothing business. And at the time that was tough because I 29 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.799 always felt that's what I was supposed to be doing. And looking back, 30 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.519 I believe I'm a better financial plutner today because that left a wound on me, 31 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.840 that left a scar that goes kind of deep. So I appreciate the 32 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.800 struggles that financis can brain. And the thing that's nice about that is you 33 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.919 can relate to somebody sitting across the desk from you, and you can put 34 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.599 yourself in their shoes, and there's probably a lot of different people that are 35 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.240 on the other side of that desk, whether it's young people getting ready to 36 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.840 start a family, people who are maybe getting closer and they're going, hey, 37 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:30.840 that retirement thing that's going to be here sooner rather than later. As 38 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.199 you look at the book True Wealth Financial Training for every stage of life, 39 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.360 is it kind of designed for one specific category or kind of all of those 40 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.039 different categories. It's all of those different categories. So it really is it's 41 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.000 an extension of book one, which is really called Head North Finding Happiness through 42 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.240 True Wealth, and it was everything my mom and dad taught me about happiness 43 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.479 at a little resort in northern Minnesota that ironically was called Happiness. So it 44 00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:01.319 doesn't even the resort everything for fifty years, every two weeks every year we'd 45 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.000 go find happiness. That was kind of our family family humor, but it 46 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:10.919 was you know, it's wealth is so much more than money and finances. 47 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.800 Certainly having having finances allows you and affords you to do more things than not 48 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:24.039 having them. I mean that makes sense because it's money is woven through everything. 49 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:29.439 So if money becomes the end focus. That's not what life's all about 50 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.759 either. I mean I have people who get to the end of life and 51 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.159 they have more assets on their balance sheet that they know what could do, 52 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.840 and then they go, Now, what I mean there has to be more 53 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.120 to life than this, right. I always know people, Look, if 54 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.479 you could close your eyes and visualize if you were financially confident, you were 55 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:52.560 physically fit, you're spiritually nourished, you're emotionally engaged, and you were surrounded 56 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.280 by deep, meaningful, loving relationships. Just life getting better than that. 57 00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.520 I mean, who doesn't want that kind of it? Right? And that's 58 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.719 really the pinnacle of wealth that we call true wealth. Ironically, my dad 59 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:11.000 was a pastor and my mom and dad lived it. I tried to teach 60 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.240 it, but watching them live in it, and when my dad passed away 61 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.759 in twenty sixteen, that really kind of motivated me to say, you know, 62 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.920 this so much to what he has taught, and I'm trying to teach 63 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.279 that in the professional side of things. I need to write a book and 64 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.439 I just sat down and it just flowed it. It outlines the nine principles 65 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.000 of true wealth, which is basically be an example of the transformational power of 66 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:38.959 love. Number two, stick to your core values, be driven by your 67 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.480 purpose, be accountable through your goals. Cherish relationships, which is a big 68 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.399 part of it. Number six, value your health wisely, use your financial 69 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.800 resources, find ways to be compassionate with the world, and then be open 70 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.319 to wise counselors. So that was kind of that was kind of book one. 71 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.000 Now I tried to give more feet to get more boots behind that. 72 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.839 It's not really about my stock, should I my bombs. It's just there's 73 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.839 certain things that happen throughout life that are learning moments. And I see you've 74 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.839 actually broken this down into different life stages. Looks like there's several different six 75 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.120 different life stages. We're going to actually talk about that in a moment. 76 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:23.360 So I'm gonna have Kevin hold on just a minute, Kevin ang versus our 77 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.399 guest.

We were just chatting a moment ago, and we're going to continue 89 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.600 the conversation now. He's got a new book out called True Wealth. In 90 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.600 this book, you talk about different life stages. Let's go through those, 91 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.920 Kevin. We all go through different stages of life. And I really wrote 92 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.800 this book more one that parents can use to teach their children to raise a 93 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.000 smarter next generation. But I've also found, ironically, when I try to 94 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.759 teach my children something, I usually I'm learning something along the way myself. 95 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.759 Oh yeah, So I've broken out into different stages just so it makes it 96 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:38.680 easier, and usually we can relate to these so zero to tend I call 97 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:44.920 those of the repeaters, and mainly because they only learned by example, right. 98 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:47.800 I mean, we put training pants on our kids so they don't wet 99 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:53.319 them soil themselves. We put training wheels on their bikes. We do all 100 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:58.480 things to kind of try to train them. When it comes to money silent. 101 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:03.240 Unfortunately, they catch more than they're more ast caught and taught unfortunately, 102 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.079 and sometimes they're maybe seeing things that are not the best example. Oh, 103 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.959 absolutely absolutely, And sometimes it's it's by default. Sometimes it's and so to 104 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.279 be really intentional and it needs to be complicated. You know, it's given 105 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:23.000 them if you're going to give them an allowance. And I have some kind 106 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.079 of rules in there as well. Unfortunately, and I'm just as guilty of 107 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.360 this with with my kids. They're grown up now. So it isn't that 108 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.240 I have mastered this. It's how many times I really learned from mistakes and 109 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:40.000 setbacks. But you know, you give them maybe an allowance, and it's 110 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.959 not loading over them. You have to let them make mistakes with it as 111 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.399 well. And you may say, okay, here's four here's a dollar, 112 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.120 here's four quarters this, you should say this, you can spend this, 113 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:56.879 you should put away for something special, and this you should give to someone 114 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:03.600 else. So it's just teaching basic cons steps. And unfortunately, you know, 115 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.680 we're all kind of born with a default. And again with repeaters, 116 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.519 it's a lot of nurturing the nature. You know, from a very early 117 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.000 age, we're kind of taught by default when when we're when we're hungry or 118 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.680 what, we have a way of letting other people know that, right, 119 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:26.120 and some more loudly than others. And when it comes to finance is it's 120 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.560 the same way. Our default kicks in and uh, you know, we 121 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.639 get irritated and we can't have it. So it's it's trying to nurture that 122 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:41.440 nature about Hey, there's delayed gratification. We have several examples on how to 123 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.679 use that or teach that in the book. And then it becomes interesting is 124 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:50.320 right behind the repeaters come to challengers and that's eleven to twenty and I labeled 125 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.240 that just because they challenge in so many ways. But what I found really 126 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.960 interesting for challengers is one of the reasons they usually challenges they don't like inconsistency. 127 00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.759 I mean, you know, as parents are when we say you can't 128 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:05.679 do this, and then they watch us spending a certain way and they go, 129 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.559 wait a minute, and that's where we start to get pushed back. 130 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.279 Plus, they got peer groups that are that are telling them. You know, 131 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.159 when I was a little kid, there was a pretty well known burger 132 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.840 franchise that says you deserve a break today. You know, we're kind of 133 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.159 taught that from from an early stage. So this is more setting parameters, 134 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.879 letting them learn how to budget, letting them, you know, take ownership 135 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.240 and some things. You know, buying a car, it's not just buying 136 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:37.639 a car for your teenage years, but it needs gas, it's got to 137 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.519 be ensured. So it's having them have some ownership. Do we move on 138 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:46.799 to the launchers, which is twenty one to thirty, and they're now trying 139 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.279 to implement what they've taught. And that's where both of my kids are right 140 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:56.240 now in that exact category. Yeah, and that's an interesting thing to If 141 00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.600 you did the first two right, they typically will come back and say, 142 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.960 how do you do this again? What if I did the first two completely 143 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.600 wrong? That's where I'm at. Well, then there's gonna be some initial 144 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.240 discussions that have to take place. But sometimes you've got to let them not 145 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.360 sure all that you have to let them learn. But hopefully if you had 146 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.480 good dialogue with them as they were growing up and it wasn't a combative period, 147 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.600 hopefully they circle back to at this point and say, I'm trying to 148 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.639 any some health not rather than you are all wet. I'm going to do 149 00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.440 it my way, and you may still get some of that, but that's 150 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.879 a learning period. The funny thing to me is, and I think this 151 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.840 is kind of by divine design, but interestingly enough, about the time they 152 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.240 think they've got all the answers, all of a sudden, if they if 153 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.080 they have a partner at this stage, they may have a repeater coming into 154 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.159 their life, and now they have to not only manage their own resources, 155 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:58.120 that start to teaching them as well. So it's a great period. The 156 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.679 next stage is the one that's kind of was challenging, and that's those thirty 157 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.039 one to forty five. We call those the jugglers, just as it describes, 158 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.360 you know there you may have one in child and in grade school, 159 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:15.279 maybe one in high school. You're further into your career and you've you've got 160 00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.480 more challenges there. You're just trying to keep all the balls in the air. 161 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.759 And that was a tough time, both from a relationship standpoint as well. 162 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:26.799 I can remember my wife and myself. We would we kind of met 163 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.480 in the doorway, you know, she would be picking up one from choir 164 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:35.159 practice and basketball practice, and I'd be taking another one somewhere else. We'd 165 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.240 meet at the game, fallen bed at night and get up and risk and 166 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.559 repeat. Right. It was just you had all these things going on, 167 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.600 and that's a you're just trying to hold it together. Yeah. I can 168 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.279 certainly relate to that. Yeah, yeah. And then and then we move 169 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.279 on to the builder stage, which is forty six to fifty nine. That's 170 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.320 where you might be empty nesters, but you know, and now you could 171 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.279 have the college years. And again, I think those discussions should have already 172 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.480 been happening, but unfortunately life comes at us so fast, all of a 173 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.039 sudden. You got somebody to go into college, and kids. We want 174 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.559 to do everything for our kids, you know. But I always find this 175 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.799 one kind of interesting. I'll tell people, look, when you when you 176 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.120 help them pick out their first car, did you go to a car lot, 177 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.360 your favorite one, find a salesperson and say, here's my child. 178 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.480 Whatever they want, you know, get it to them yeah, whatever, 179 00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.799 No, we get with colleges. We do that all the time. The 180 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:35.200 kids says, well, I'd like to go here because I hear the experiences 181 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.399 there. We haven't planned for it, we don't prepare for it, and 182 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.960 then we get in the middle of it's like, well I got to borrow 183 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.480 it. We haven't, you know, we don't. We do that with 184 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.159 our college planning was saying well, wherever you want to go, we'll help 185 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.879 you get there, and we want the best for them. But sometimes we 186 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.480 should have done better planning to be better prepared for that. And if we're 187 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.759 not careful, we're supposed to wear our peak journeys years here from forty six 188 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.559 to nine. If we're not careful, we take on a lot more debt, 189 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.480 which makes the life process a little bit more confusing, a lot of 190 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.840 things to unpack at each stage. So do we move on to the Reaper's 191 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.840 age, which is basically sixty to seventy five, and that's that period where 192 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.360 as it explains, you're trying to want to get out of what I'm doing 193 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.000 right, I want to move on to something different. And then finally we 194 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.679 end up with the legacy leaders. So we certainly don't have every answer, 195 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.440 and it's not we just want to give a high level at each area, 196 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.039 but we're trying to get them prepared for really what why building wealth or how 197 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.679 you do that? And we start that with some interesting questions. So what 198 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.879 we find is people kind of fall on one or two categories. Either they're 199 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.480 looking at wealth as personal prosperity, which has a subset of I don't have 200 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.000 it and I want it, or I have it, but I want more, 201 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:03.559 versus a group that's really looking more for a personal responsibility. I don't 202 00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.960 want to be a burden of my family or society in general. I want 203 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:11.600 to use my resources to make the positive difference in others lives, or I 204 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.720 want to listen to burdens for others. And that's the group that really falls 205 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:20.320 more into true wealth. Speaking at both sides, we can help both sides, 206 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:28.799 but the one that's prosperity chasers they never really arrived because they always want 207 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.399 more. Yeah. I remember reading a quote from one of the wealthiest people 208 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.799 in the world and they said how much is enough? And he said just 209 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.360 a little more, and I said, what a weird way to live your 210 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.759 life. Well, Kevin, thank you so much for taking some time to 211 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.200 chat with us today, and thank you for putting this in a book and 212 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.600 making it a lot easier for people to maybe take a little bite at a 213 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:50.919 time and digest through.

This day in Soux Falls History is brought to you 238 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:26.320 by the Sioux Falls Fun Page, West Sioux Studios and Sunny ninety three point 239 00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.399 three. It was on this date, September twenty sixth, nineteen forty nine, 240 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.399 a self proclaimed holy man, Krishna Venta, arrives in Sioux Falls to 241 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.519 evaluate just how holy our city is, though no one was all too sure 242 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.279 of his credentials to make such a determination. Krishna was met with curiosity as 243 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.240 a sort of a side show to the hustle and bustle of a booming post 244 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:49.080 World War two Sioux Falls. His first stop was at the local police station, 245 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:52.600 where he voluntarily sat for questioning. He made it a point to assure 246 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.120 the lead detective present that he would not let the fact that he had been 247 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:02.039 questioned by the police sour his score or soous Fall's righteousness. Of course, 248 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.000 we were all relieved to hear that once the police were satisfied, he wasn't 249 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.839 here to stir up any trouble. Krishna Venta was unleashed on the public. 250 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:15.000 Born Francis Panovic in San Francisco in nineteen eleven, Krishna had grown up fairly 251 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.640 normal, having even served a short time in the US Army in nineteen forty 252 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.839 five, but there were a few spots on his record for petty criminal activity 253 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.359 in the nineteen thirties. Nothing too serious, though, However. In nineteen 254 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.720 forty six, reports show that he began claiming that he was thousands of years 255 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:32.400 old and that he spoke as the voice of God. He wore a long, 256 00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:34.839 loose fitting, bright colored robe, he walked barefoot, and called his 257 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.920 following the Fountain of the World. Unfortunately, no official word was ever given 258 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:44.079 of sous Fall's righteousness score. However, Krishna was jailed in the nineteen fifties 259 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.279 for failing to pay child support. He was spotted gambling in Las Vegas on 260 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:52.079 more than one occasion, and eventually assassinated by two disgruntled followers who claimed he 261 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.839 had embezzled their money and seduced their wives.
