About this episode
Don’t let the world persuade you.
In an age of constant noise, instant information, and cultural pressure, wisdom has become both rare and invaluable. In this episode, Keith and Doug explore what it means to live wisely in foolish times, drawing practical insight from ancient principles that remain deeply relevant to modern financial and family decisions.
You’ll learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom, how foolish financial patterns quietly erode wealth, and why the people you spend time with matter just as much as the plans you make. For families with significant assets, the stakes are higher. Wise decisions compound—just like foolish ones. This episode is designed to help you slow down, think clearly, and align your personal and financial life with what truly matters.
If you’re looking for a financial partner who prioritizes wisdom over hype and long-term clarity over short-term noise, we’d be honored to help. Learn more about working with us at https://www.gimbalfinancial.com.
