Join me as I sit down with Gary Pinkerton—a Navy veteran, Wealth Strategist, Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP), and passionate financial educator. From growing up on a dairy farm in Illinois to serving 25 years in the US Navy’s Nuclear Submarine program, Gary’s journey has been shaped by discipline, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to financial freedom. After losing his family farm and experiencing setbacks in the market, Gary rebuilt his wealth by focusing on principles of control, liquidity, and character—values he now teaches to investors, entrepreneurs, and families seeking true financial independence.

In this conversation, Gary and I discuss:

• Why freedom and agency are the foundation of true wealth
• The importance of financial control and protecting your family’s wealth from inflation
• Lessons Gary carried from the Navy into business and investing
• Why liquidity provides peace of mind and opportunity
• Understanding the "Hierarchy of Wealth" and how it shapes smart decisions
• The risks and rewards of syndication and how to navigate them wisely
• Why character and trust are non-negotiable when working with investors
• The central role of cash flow in creating long-term stability
• How building strong relationships leads to collaboration and resilience
• Embracing challenges as stepping stones to greater impact
