Ken, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to visit with us today! Ok, Ken, I always start off with this as the first question for every guest. Other than that short bio I just read, tell us in your own words, “Who is Ken Rupert.” First, I want you to tell us a little bit about your “Financial Black Belt.” I love the name. How did you come up with that and why? How long have you been helping people with their financial strategies? Before we go any further, if someone wanted to get in touch with you, perhaps to ask a question or inquire of your services, how can they do that? Now, you have written many books. How many books have you written over the years? What is your latest book? “Simple Wealth Building Strategies” With the book, “Empathy: Life Beyond Self” – what was the purpose of writing that book? Who is the intended audience? And your book, “The Plan” evolved from the “Empathy” book, correct? How did that happen? What is that book about? Now, there is a book you wrote called, “God, I Was Wondering…” Tell us about that book? How do you get the inspiration for writing all of these books? How do you do it? In addition to helping people with their finances and writing these books, you are also the caregiver for your son – AND – you help to coach other caregivers. We covered how you sort of “evolved” into that role. But, do you coach these folks in person, online, over the phone? How do you do that? You have a blog that you help people through. Tell us about the content you post on your blog? Ken, you are one busy man! I have to hand it to you. Again, if someone wanted to get in touch with, perhaps to ask a question or maybe even do an interview such as this, how can they do that? And your books – they are all available on Amazon, correct? Ok. I will be putting links to all of this in the show notes. So folks, all you have to do is go to the show notes and click the links. Ken, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on the program today. You have give us a lot of things to think about. Folks, you need to go to Ken Rupert’s author page on Amazon and check it out. I will have the link in the show notes. You heard the kind of value he is providing through his books. This is information that is invaluable to each and every person. You MUST have secure, stable finances to survive in this world in which we live.
