In this episode you will learn about wisdom and wealth in 2022:
1. Grow wealthy–Why do you need money?
2. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. Three properties and classifications of assets.
3. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. The difference between income from a job and alternative income.
4. Grow wealthy by investing in assets. 
Our expert, Kevin Baker, defines an asset as something that, in the future, can generate cash flow for you. Assets make money. Anything that takes money out of your pocket is a liability.  Kevin is a former CFO who managed the investments of a 900 yearol non-profit.  He has studied the masters of value investing inlcuding Warren Buffet, Seth Klarman’s “Margin of Safety” (which he owns), Bruce Greenwald, Christoper Brown, and others.
Wealth Scale


Novice/Poor – You’re poor if you have a lot of liabilities and need to keep working to maintain your lifestyle. People can be poor even if they have great income. Unfortunately, most Americans are stuck here most of their lives.


Amateur  – You have been investing for a while and own some good assets. If the value of your good assets is more than 50% of your net worth, then you’re firmly in this class.


Financial Independence – This should be the goal for everyone. Once the income from good assets, aka passive income, surpasses your expense, you can retire and live life the way you want.


Generational Wealth – This is beyond financial independence. You have plenty of income from your investment to keep reinvesting. This way your wealth will keep growing and you can pass it on to the kids. That’s generational wealth.

Five relationships define who we are.  Who are you?  Thank you coming to the conversation today!  In this episode, Kevin Baker unpacks how to understand who we are in depth.  Relationships are the connection of our inner conversations to each other.  Today we learn about trust.  Trust is our tendency and expectation to have faith and believe in the reliability of other people versus suspicion, which is the opposite of trust.

Five relationships define who we are.  Who are you?   Who we are impacts everything from the opportunities that open to us, to the people we connect with, loan criteria, job offers, and more. Thank you coming to the conversation today!  In this episode, Kevin Baker unpacks what respect is, and how respect and disrespect define a person.

* Respect for persons may perhaps be the most fundamental principle in all of ethics.
* Respect calls on each and every one of us to respect the intrinsic dignity of all other people.
* We live in times of great disrespect because leaders and influencers in societies are using the notion of respect as a weapon for control and domination.
* By saying “I approve (or disapprove) of you and what you are doing,” we take on the role of the judge.  In so doing, we imply “if you want my respect you must behave consistent with my standards.”
* If we are going to overcome family conflict, racism, hatred, workplace conflict, discrimination, and war, we must build a new culture of respect and civility.

Respect we can truly know who we are in our relationship to ourselves and others.
