In this episode of Mental, host Corey Schonhorst sits down with financial planner and community leader Phil Wight for a deep dive into money, legacy, and the bigger picture of life.
Phil shares his unique journey from military pathfinder to financial pathfinder—helping people not only build wealth, but also use it purposefully through business growth, philanthropy, and creating balance in life. He opens up about the influence of his grandfather, lessons from his military service, and why giving back through charity is just as important as financial success.
This conversation goes beyond numbers. Corey and Phil unpack topics like:
- Building generational wealth and navigating taxation
- Why financial planning is really about family, legacy, and peace of mind
- The importance of charity and giving with intention
- Learning how to reclaim time, balance business with personal life, and avoid burnout
- Phil’s vision for community-driven events like St. Louis Lights supporting veterans and local charities
Phil also shares the motto that drives his work and life: “Just let me save one more.”
👉 Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a parent, or someone simply trying to find direction, this episode offers practical wisdom and inspiring stories about resilience, service, and purpose.
