Wisdom & Wealth with Cory Procter

On this episode of Wisdom & Wealth, host Cory Procter sits down with country music artist Kevin Fowler to talk about the financial realities behind life in the spotlight.

Kevin Fowler shares his personal journey of learning how to turn income into long-term wealth. At just 27, he made one of his first major financial moves—purchasing three acres of land. That decision sparked a strategy that would grow into an impressive real estate portfolio, including commercial properties and historic buildings. His philosophy is simple: invest in assets that produce income and appreciate over time.

Both Kevin and Cory Procter discuss how athletes and musicians often face unique financial challenges—irregular income, short career windows, and the temptation to spend big early. Kevin emphasizes the importance of avoiding frivolous purchases and instead focusing on opportunities that build lasting financial stability.

The conversation also touches on how the rise of the internet changed the music industry, with Kevin highlighting the impact of his 2000 album Beer, Bait & Ammo in expanding his reach and shaping his career.

In this episode of Wisdom & Wealth, Cory sits down with Tom Fedro, CEO of Securus 360 and Paragon Software, and author of "Next Level Selling" for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership.

Tom shares his journey from running a paper route at just 12 years old to becoming a top-performing sales rep by age 25, and eventually leading two successful technology companies. Along the way, he opens up about significant challenges, including a failed IPO and a difficult season in his personal life—experiences that reshaped his priorities and perspective.

At the center of Tom's philosophy is a clear framework for life and leadership: faith, family, health, and wealth—in that order. He explains how this mindset has guided his decisions and helped him build sustainable success.

Cory and Tom also discuss the growth of Paragon Software, which now distributes more than 200 million software licenses worldwide and landed a pivotal partnership with Cisco in 2008. Tom shares why his focus has expanded into cybersecurity through Securus 360, a company dedicated to protecting K–12 schools from the growing threat of ransomware and cyberattacks.

The episode wraps with a look at Tom's upcoming book, The Scan Protocol, which draws on biblical principles to help individuals and leaders align their personal and professional lives for lasting impact.

In this episode of Wisdom & Wealth, Cory Procter sits down with Daniel Spencer from More Time Advisory to unpack the hidden pitfalls of relying on one professional for both bookkeeping and tax preparation. Daniel explains why CPAs juggling both roles often deliver only "60% quality work"—and how that can lead to costly mistakes, like one client's $40,000 tax return discrepancy.

Together, they explore how collaboration between accountants, CPAs, and other financial experts creates better oversight, stronger planning, and fewer conflicts. Daniel also shares his journey to becoming a "systems guy," optimizing processes with AI and efficient frameworks to help businesses thrive.

In this episode of Wisdom and Wealth, host Cory Procter dives into tax-smart strategies for charitable giving. He explains why donating cash is often the least efficient option, since it may expose givers to higher tax burdens. Instead, he highlights the advantages of donating appreciated stocks, which allows donors to bypass capital gains taxes while maximizing their impact.

Cory also compares donor-advised funds with private foundations, noting that donor-advised funds are typically simpler to manage and come with stronger tax benefits. For landowners, he explores the use of conservation easements, which provide both long-term land preservation and significant tax deductions.

Finally, Cory shares bonus gifting strategies, including making use of the annual gifting exclusion and paying education costs directly to institutions—both of which can avoid the need for gift tax reporting.

This episode provides practical, tax-savvy ways to align generosity with financial wisdom.

Drawing from Jordan Peterson's philosophy, Cory emphasizes the growing importance of women in wealth management, noting that by 2030, 70% of all wealth will be controlled by women.

He outlines three major financial pitfalls women often face:

1. Being excluded from important financial conversations.

2. Having outdated beneficiary designations.

3. Lacking proper financial protection in remarriage.

Cory also shares six essential questions women should ask their financial advisors to safeguard their future. With trillions of dollars poised to transfer to women in the coming years, he encourages listeners to be discerning, proactive, and empowered in every financial decision.

In this episode, Cory Procter addresses one of the most overlooked financial challenges: preserving inherited wealth. With an estimated $84 trillion expected to transfer between generations by 2045 — and $3 trillion to Gen X and Millennials — Cory warns that 70% of wealth is lost by the second generation, and 90% by the third.

He breaks down the key reasons behind this loss, highlighting that only 40% is due to poor investments. The real culprits? Probate, taxes, and lawsuits. Cory outlines how proper estate planning — including LLCs, trusts, and business succession plans — can shield families from these threats.

He emphasizes the importance of intentional planning, proper titling of assets, tax strategy for inherited IRAs, and teaching beneficiaries to view wealth as a stewardship responsibility. Whether you're passing down assets or preparing to receive them, this episode offers practical insight into protecting your legacy.
