This is the time of year when we think about giving and generosity. This episode is the second in a three-part series on the topic. Sam and David Kern, president of Wealthquest, discuss strategic giving to individuals in this episode. They will then explore ways to give offering tax benefits in the third part of the series, airing next week. We discuss the emotional and psychological benefits of being generous and the two key ingredients of generosity: action and attitude. We also talk about identifying 'circuit breakers' that prevent us from being generous. Additionally, we explore how creating an 'abundance fund' can foster a generous mindset. David encapsulates this idea by saying he's never seen an unhappy generous person, underscoring the importance of giving. Next week, we'll focus more technically on the quantitative side of generosity. We're going to discuss strategies and tools that you can use to be more generous, increase efficiency, and achieve better tax benefits.   Episode Highlights:  [05:59] Giving and generosity towards individuals is usually non-tax deductible. Generosity for entities that we do get tax benefits from. [06:58] The lifetime gift and estate tax exemption is 13 million dollars. The yearly threshold is $17,000. This is the annual gift tax exclusion. [08:28] A form 709 or gift tax return is required for any amount over that $17,000. The numbers change every year, so they need to be double-checked. [10:27] Cash gifts with those strings attached or wonderful. Even if the money is used in frivolous ways people are learning. [10:42] You can open a Roth IRA for a child or grandchild if they have income and gift a contribution on their behalf. This can jump start their retirement and get them investing. [11:43] 529 or educational savings accounts are also very popular. All of the growth of these accounts can be used tax-free as long as it goes towards educational expenses. [12:53] You can also pay medical or tuition expenses on behalf of someone else. When you pay directly to the institution it doesn't count towards the lifetime gift exemption. [13:35] You can also give appreciated shares of stock. You're transferring shares and transferring the tax burden. [15:24] Paying directly to an institution for medical or tuition is not tax deductible.   Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.

David Kern, President of Wealthquest talks with Wealthquest CEO Wade Daniel about the origins and growth of Wealthquest. Wade graduated with a chemical engineering degree from University of Cincinnati. He became interested in finance and wanted to help other people with their finances. As he began working in the field, he discovered there was a disconnect when businesses had to outsource parts of the financial plans such as taxes or estate planning. He was a pioneer in implementing the all under one roof financial plan. In 2006, James Lenhoff and Wade Daniel were co-founders of Wealthquest. They implemented the all under one roof financial planning concept and took it to the next level. David shares when he joined the team and wisdom shared by James Lenhoff before 2020. They stopped growing the company and grew and refined the team in order to offer the best possible client services. After exploring the Wealthquest origin story, David and Wade share what's new at Wealthquest and talk about why business growth is so important.    Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.

I am a strong believer in the teaching of banking principles in academia. That's a soapbox for another day...but I had crazy idea earlier in the semester that I wanted to try. Dr. David Kern, a long time member of our faculty, also teaches Advanced Banking 1 and 2 at Arkansas State University. At the beginning of the semester, I asked him if, at the end of the semester, we could get his students on the podcast and fire questions at us about the banking industry. In addition, let's pick their brains about what they see from their perspective. What turned out was, in my opinion, a fascinating look at our industry from the banking leaders of tomorrow. To the students who participated...thank you! Best of luck to you as you start this exciting time in your life and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can do to help you in your banking adventure!

Modern education treats the child as a blank slate, a malleable object to be formed according to the will of whoever has power over educational policy. Classical Christian education treats the child as a person made in the image of God, a mystery to be held in awe, and tends to the flowering of his already-given nature by leading him to wisdom and virtue. Andrew Kern, founder of the CiRCE Institute (Center for Independent Research on Classical Education), is one of the best guests Thomas has ever interviewed. In this episode he leads us through the profound basics of classical Christian education—offering a radically different view of the human person and of reality itself from that which predominates today. Contents [5:31] What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? [10:31] What is a classical education? It is simply a list of great books one must study? [15:58] Teaching “subjects” vs. the seven liberal arts [21:18] Using music to illustrate a number of ideas about classical education [28:20] The need for the art of rhetoric in a sophisticated political system like ours [31:04] The generative power of form [37:35] Respecting the “Holy of Holies” within the child—an image of God and a mystery [42:38] Each of the seven liberal arts has a form and skill, tending to wisdom and virtue [55:14] How mastering the liberal arts glorifies God [59:35] Classical education has no ‘method' [1:09:39] The seven stages of a lesson [1:15:13] Services offered by the CiRCE Institute [1:23:09] How would a classical school teach “practical” skills like finance?
