My Father Said

In this episode, Ryan and his dad Robert explore the Certified Kingdom Advisor designation—what it is, why they earned it, and how it guides their practice. They discuss how biblical wisdom shapes financial decisions, how believers can balance wealth and purpose, and what it really takes to honor God with your assets. Whether you're interested in faith‑centered money management or want to understand stewardship from a scriptural perspective, this conversation is full of heart and insight.

In this episode of My Father Said, Robert and Ryan Templeton reveal the top five fears their clients face when preparing for retirement. From inflation and healthcare costs to running out of money and leaving a legacy, they offer practical advice and encouragement on how to plan with confidence. Whether you're years away or already retired, this conversation is packed with insights to help you feel more secure about your future.

Why don't more people save for retirement? Ryan and Robert dig into the real (and sometimes ridiculous) reasons people fall behind on their financial future. From insufficient income and high debt to instant gratification and lack of clear goals, this episode explores how mindset—not money—is usually the biggest obstacle.

You'll hear personal stories, practical advice, and a hilarious Yogi Berra misquote that somehow makes perfect sense by the end.
