What happens when financial planning meets the world of drug and alcohol prevention? Join me, Brad Pistole, as I sit down with a unique guest, my daughter, Autumn Brooke Newman, who brings her expertise in both fields to the table. Together, we navigate the complexities of financial education for children using tools like Roth IRAs, while also shining a light on Autumn's impactful work with the Partnerships for Success program. Her role as Director focuses on substance prevention across seven Missouri counties, underscoring the critical intersection between financial security and community health.

Autumn’s experiences with the "Too Good for Drugs" program offer a poignant look at the challenges facing today’s youth. From educating students about the perils of substance abuse to ensuring that local establishments comply with age restrictions on alcohol sales, Autumn’s efforts highlight the broader implications of drug prevention on families and communities. Her insights resonate with my past work in family ministry, and together, we reflect on the potential economic ramifications of these societal issues.

Our conversation doesn't shy away from personal stories either. Autumn opens up about the unpredictable journey of parenthood, recounting her childbirth experiences and the challenges her family has faced, from health scares to the loss of loved ones. We also tackle the vital role of financial planning in securing a stable future for the next generation. From gifting strategies to navigating complex financial products like annuities, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge for those seeking to blend financial security with proactive community involvement.
