In this episode of The Highest Form, we sit down with Cody Huckins—financial advisor, father, Bible study teacher, and special guest—to explore the real intersection of faith, family, and finances, and how they shape the legacy we leave behind. Cody shares his journey from a curious kid watching daytime TV commercials to becoming a trusted guide for families navigating their financial futures, all while staying grounded in his Christian values and commitment to his community.

We dive into the misconceptions about financial planning, the fear and shame people feel when facing their money struggles, and how Cody's approach goes far beyond spreadsheets and portfolios. He reflects on the importance of diagnosing pain points before prescribing solutions, the value of preparing for worst-case scenarios, and how his own experiences with loss taught him what truly matters. Cody opens up about teaching financial literacy to high schoolers, the difference between hard work and meaningful work, and why relationships—not just returns—are the foundation of lasting wealth.

The conversation also touches on broader questions about generational thinking, family traditions, and what it means to define "enough" in a world that constantly pushes for more. Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a life that matters, this episode offers thoughtful insights, honest reflections, and practical wisdom.

Join us for a heartfelt, in-depth discussion about what it means to build wealth that goes beyond money—and to leave a legacy that truly lasts.
