Podcasts about Ridgeway

I recently aired a Tales of the Magic Skagit podcast episode about the life of Laurie Wells, whose parents, Hiram and Alfreda, settled in Mount Vernon in 1877.During the interview a reference was made to “Ridgeway” as the name of the area where the Wells' family home was located. I recalled that the Skagit County Historical Museum's archivist, Mari Anderson Densmore, had written about Ridgeway in her book, “Lost Cities” of Skagit — Rediscovering Places of Our Past, and I wanted to share that bit of our history with you all. So, here is my reading of “Ridgeway” from Mari's book. 

"Sprinter" The Florida-born Cat Ridgeway is speeding into national prominence. Or, to be more specific, she's sprinting there. Ridgeway's new album Sprinter is an adrenalized blast of hook-filled rock and roll, howling blues and scruffy pop that's one of the most refreshing listens of the year. A commanding presence with charisma to burn, Ridgeway, along with her band the Tourists, are full of a howling punk-rock electricity that summons everyone from the White Stripes to the Foo Fighters. Now Ridgeway is a self-taught musician who plays harmonica, trumpet, trombone, mandolin, bass, piano and guitar and that's incredibly impressive, but having spoken to her, she has an autodidact streak that runs through her life. Hence the reference I made to coffee earlier, but I'll let Cat tell you all about that. Named Orlando's Best Singer-Songwriter for the last three years, Ridgeway has played with Houndmouth, Arcade Fire and Lucy Dacus and she's no stranger to playing music festivals around the country. She's a typhoon of positive energy and you're going to love her. www.catridgewaymusic.com (http://www.catridgewaymusic.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers Bluesky + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say the Darndest Things, A.B. Ridgeway dives into the Rule of 72, a simple formula that helps you estimate how long it will take to double your money based on the rate of return on your investments. Whether you're investing in CDs, annuities, or the stock market, understanding this concept can help you set realistic expectations, manage risk, and plan for retirement more effectively. Ridgeway also explains why starting early is key to reducing risk and achieving financial goals.Key Takeaways:The Rule of 72 Demystified: The Rule of 72 helps you calculate the time required to double your money. Simply divide 72 by the annual return rate. For example, at 6% interest, it will take 12 years to double your money.Setting Realistic Expectations: Financial advisors aren't magicians who can double or triple your money overnight. The Rule of 72 provides a more realistic view of growth, helping you avoid unnecessary risk.Start Early to Minimize Risk: Beginning your investment journey sooner allows you to take on less risk while still achieving your goals. Investing later often requires higher returns, which can increase your risk exposure.Memorable Quotes:"The Rule of 72 is a tool that simplifies complex financial projections, helping you make better decisions about where to put your money.""The market rarely gives you a consistent 10% return year after year; it's about staying the course through the highs and lows.""Starting early allows you to take on less risk and still meet your financial goals—time is your greatest ally in investing."

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say the Darnedest Things, A.B. Ridgeway provides practical and actionable tips for anyone struggling to save money, regardless of their income level. He tackles two key problems: the misconception that saving a set dollar amount is the key to success and the lack of clarity about what you're saving for. A.B. introduces the concept of saving by percentages rather than fixed amounts, offering a simple yet effective strategy to build the habit of saving. He explains how saving even a small percentage of your leftover income, such as 10%, can lead to gradual growth in savings over time.

This episode will help you shift your mindset and develop a more effective approach to personal finance.Key Takeaways:Save by Percentages, Not Fixed Amounts – A.B. emphasizes that saving a percentage of what's left over after bills, even if it's just a small amount, is more sustainable than setting a fixed dollar target. This method encourages building a habit of saving consistently.Know What You're Saving For – Before you start saving, it's crucial to define your goals. Whether it's for an emergency fund, retirement, or something else, having clear intentions makes your saving efforts more focused and effective.Gradual Growth Leads to Financial Security – By saving small amounts consistently, you'll develop the habit of saving, which can eventually lead to larger savings as your income increases or expenses decrease.Quotes:“You are going to invest or save by percentages. Everyone can save by a percentage. It doesn't matter how small. The important part is getting into the habit.”“If you don't know what number is going to give you financial security, you're always going to be wanting more, because there's always one more dollar to make.”“The key to saving for your future isn't how much you save, but the habit of saving. Even a small percentage over time makes a big difference.”

In this episode, A.B. Ridgeway delves into the controversy surrounding Gateway Church, where members allege that millions of dollars in tithes were misused. This lawsuit against the Texas megachurch raises questions about financial transparency, biblical stewardship, and the responsibility of church leaders. Ridgeway breaks down the court proceedings, examines the promises made to the congregation, and discusses the importance of financial accountability within faith-based organizations.3 Key Takeaways:Transparency in Tithes Is Essential for Trust Members expect their tithes to be used in alignment with biblical principles. When leaders fail to meet these expectations, it can lead to legal action and erosion of trust within the congregation.Biblical Stewardship and Personal Accountability Giving back to the community or church should be done with discernment. It's a believer's responsibility to ensure their contributions align with their values and that funds are managed appropriately.The Distinction Between Individuals and the Church Itself Ridgeway emphasizes that while church leaders may falter, they do not define the church. Congregants should hold leaders accountable without feeling they're questioning their faith or the church's integrity.3 Notable Quotes:"People in the church are not the church. It is the accumulation of all the people together that makes up the church.""We can't be lazy, brothers and sisters, and just move the decimal point over...It is our responsibility to make sure the money we're giving is going to make an impact.""As a Christian financial advisor, I run into this all the time. People think that they can just put Jesus in front of everything and then act like everything's okay."

This lawsuit against the Texas megachurch raises questions about financial transparency, biblical stewardship, and the responsibility of church leaders. Ridgeway breaks down the court proceedings, examines the promises made to the congregation, and discusses the importance of financial accountability within faith-based organizations.3 Key Takeaways:Transparency in Tithes Is Essential for Trust Members expect their tithes to be used in alignment with biblical principles. When leaders fail to meet these expectations, it can lead to legal action and erosion of trust within the congregation.Biblical Stewardship and Personal Accountability Giving back to the community or church should be done with discernment. It's a believer's responsibility to ensure their contributions align with their values and that funds are managed appropriately.The Distinction Between Individuals and the Church Itself Ridgeway emphasizes that while church leaders may falter, they do not define the church. Congregants should hold leaders accountable without feeling they're questioning their faith or the church's integrity.3 Notable Quotes:"People in the church are not the church. It is the accumulation of all the people together that makes up the church.""We can't be lazy, brothers and sisters, and just move the decimal point over...It is our responsibility to make sure the money we're giving is going to make an impact.""As a Christian financial advisor, I run into this all the time. People think that they can just put Jesus in front of everything and then act like everything's okay."

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say The Darndest Things, host A.B. Ridgeway dives into the pros and cons of using credit cards for everyday purchases. With credit card interest rates in the double digits and Americans collectively owing over a trillion dollars in debt, this discussion raises important questions about the financial wisdom of credit card dependency.Key TakeawaysKnow Thyself: Credit cards can offer great rewards, but only if you have the money management skills to handle them. Without the ability to pay off balances in full, these cards can quickly turn beneficial rewards into financial pitfalls.Compound Debt Warning: Just like compound growth works in your favor, compound interest on debt can work against you. Paying only the minimum means interest accumulates on interest, creating a “snowball effect” that can lead to overwhelming debt.Credit as a Trust System: Your credit score is essentially a trust score. Building good credit through responsible usage (and timely payments) is essential not only for lower interest rates on loans but also for building trustworthiness with lenders, employers, and landlords.Memorable Quotes"If you don't have the funds to make the rewards worthwhile, credit cards can be very dangerous.""Using credit cards and not paying them off is like taking a micro-loan for every small purchase.""Your credit score is like walking around with a number on your head that tells people how good you are at paying back money."This episode encourages listeners to reflect on their financial habits, understand the risks of credit card debt, and prioritize good money management skills to avoid long-term financial strain.

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say The Darndest Things, A.B. Ridgeway breaks down the crucial question: When is the right time to hire a financial advisor? Drawing from a conversation with a doctor calling into Dave Ramsey's show, the episode explores the tension between needing financial guidance and the fear of losing control over your wealth.

Ridgeway emphasizes that financial planning should ideally start early, even during life events like residency, marriage, or starting a family—not just after earning significant income.Financial Advisors Should Teach, Not Take Over: Both A.B. and Dave stress that an advisor's role is to educate, not control. A great advisor offers options and guidance, ensuring the client remains in charge of their financial decisions.Trust the Process, Not Just the Person: It's normal to feel hesitant about hiring an advisor, especially with significant wealth. Dave advises clients to work only with advisors who have a “heart of a teacher,” emphasizing education over sales.

Ridgeway's advice on balancing knowledge and action in financial planning.Final Thoughts: This episode encourages listeners to take a proactive approach to financial planning.

In this episode, A.B. Ridgeway breaks down the often-confusing term "financial advisor," explaining how it serves as an umbrella for various financial professionals. He explores the differences between financial planners, brokers, and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs). Listeners will learn about the significance of professional credentials and the importance of selecting the right advisor for their unique financial needs.3 Key Takeaways"Financial Advisor" is a Broad Term:The title can refer to various professionals, such as stockbrokers, financial planners, and RIAs, each serving different purposes.Credentials Matter—but Research is Key:Not all designations hold equal value. Certifications like CFP (Certified Financial Planner) and CPWA (Certified Private Wealth Advisor) indicate higher standards, but it's crucial to understand what each credential represents.Holistic Financial Planning Provides Greater Value:Unlike brokers who focus solely on investments, financial planners and RIAs take a comprehensive approach, covering everything from wealth transfer to retirement planning and tax strategies.3 Memorable Quotes“A financial advisor is like an umbrella term. A lot of people like to call themselves financial advisors, and that just may not be true.”A.B. Ridgeway highlights the importance of discernment when choosing a financial professional.“Just because someone has letters behind their name doesn't mean that credential really means anything.”A reminder to look beyond titles and dig deeper into what those credentials actually entail.“The more money you have, the more strategies you need to implement—and you need someone to help you implement them.”Ridgeway emphasizes the value of strategic financial planning, especially for high-net-worth individuals.This episode offers valuable insights into understanding financial advisors' roles and helps listeners make informed decisions when seeking professional guidance. Whether you're managing debt, planning for retirement, or building wealth, knowing the right type of advisor to work with is essential.
