    Growth, Humility, and the Path to Leadership

    How does leadership change when it’s viewed as a lifelong process instead of a destination? In this episode, Sophia Skoog interviews Trey C. Peterson on leadership lessons learned through building a business, developing people, and navigating seasons of growth. He shares how leadership is less about titles or rapid success and more about becoming the person capable of stewarding influence well. The conversation centers on character, culture, and building something that lasts beyond recognition or financial gain. What you’ll learn in this episode: (01:41) How early misconceptions about readiness can limit long-term leadership growth. (03:18) Why building a dream requires the right team, not just individual effort. (05:42) How learning seasons prepare leaders for future earning and influence. (08:14) Why prioritizing family and values protects leadership over time. (10:03) How stewardship and generosity shape sustainable leadership influence.

  2. Questions You Shouldn't Ask Your Financial Advisor

    JAN 27

    Questions You Shouldn't Ask Your Financial Advisor

    How can identifying the "wrong" questions to ask a financial advisor actually lead to a more secure financial future? This episode breaks down common questions people ask financial advisors that often signal unrealistic expectations about markets, taxes, and retirement certainty. Trey and Yelisey explain why guarantees, predictions, and comparisons to others can undermine sound financial planning. Instead, they emphasize conservative projections, personalized strategies, and the importance of perspective in building lasting financial confidence. What you’ll learn in this episode: (00:43) Why asking a financial advisor to guarantee returns reflects a misunderstanding of risk and long-term planning. (03:17) How minimizing taxes legally differs from unrealistic expectations of eliminating taxes entirely for people preparing for retirement. (05:58) Why predicting short-term market performance is impossible. (08:05) Why questions about hiding money create ethical, legal, and relational risks investors should avoid. (11:11) How risk tolerance, lifestyle flexibility, and fixed expenses shape vastly different financial recommendations. (14:09) Why retirement timelines cannot be guaranteed and how small changes in assumptions dramatically affect outcomes for investors. (17:18) How conservative planning and honest course correction can help you stay on track when spending or assumptions drift. (23:21) Why mindset, purpose, and planning for life after work are critical to a fulfilling retirement. Learn more about Trey C.

    How can you structure your investments so your money lasts as long as you do or perhaps even longer? In this episode, Trey and Yelisey outline practical strategies to help you build a retirement plan that withstands market swings, inflation, and longevity risk. They explain why balanced risk, Social Security timing, and the following three “buckets of money” can profoundly change retirement outcomes: * Yellow Bucket: Your protected, no-risk money (cash, savings, Social Security, pensions). * Green Bucket: Your low-risk income money (bonds, money markets, T-bills, annuities). * Red Bucket: Your growth money (stocks, mutual funds, ETFs). What you’ll learn in this episode: (00:49) How to use the three “buckets of money” to balance safety, income, and growth in retirement. (03:39) Why differing risk tolerances within a household can create inefficiencies. (06:04) How past financial trauma can push investors into overly conservative strategies that limit long-term growth. (11:19) Why bond underperformance over the past five years creates challenges for traditional 60/40 portfolios. (14:27) Why consistency and time in the market outperform attempts to time market highs and lows. (15:57) How retiring even one year earlier can reduce the lifespan of retirement savings by multiple years. (22:07) What rising life expectancy means for long-term financial planning. (32:47) How Social Security tax treatment can dramatically increase retirement income. Learn more about Trey C.
