Financial strength and physical fitness are two of the largest portions of a healthy 'wealth portfolio'. The greatest threat to main street business leaders in the short and long-term is the direction of retirement investments. The days of passive 'hand-off' retirement planning and then expecting safe financial returns are likely gone.  This week's IGNITE Birmingham podcast episode we discuss strategies for growing retirement income and physical ability for the long haul. Yes, that's right wealth is more than just money. The most valuable fortune of all aside from a loving relationship with Christ Jesus is physical fitness and ability.  We are delighted to have Thomas Cox owner of MealFit and Table & Thyme join us to talk shop on nutrition and fitness.Join us virtually every Monday at 10AM to hear the live recording of IGNITE Birmingham   click or dial in usingwww.ULECx.com/conference205-582-7042Disclaimer:  All opinions expressed on this podcast including the team and guests are solely their opinions.  Host and guest may maintain positions in the companies and securities discussed.This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as specific investment advice for any individual or organization.

Today we will discuss why the next 9 months January through October is the time to SAVE as much money as possible and pay off debts.

Dear Birmingham Business Leader!  Today Kayla and I discussed understanding Shmita from an Eternal Perspective.  If someone asked me how to enter into a formal business partnership with the Kingdom of Heaven, I'd tell them to build their business plan over the principles of the Shmita Cycle.
