#1 - FAITH: I believe Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and that He died for my sins. “ That I am not my own,[1] but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death,[2] to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.[3] He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil.[5] He also preserves me in such a way[6] that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;[7] indeed, all things must work together for my salvation.[8] Therefore, by His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life[9] and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.[10] – Heidelberg Catechism Answer 1#2 - Family: I grew up in a small town, so I’m used to knowing everybody and saying hello as we cross paths, and I prefer it that way. My wife Stephanie and I have been blessed with incredible families who have helped shape us into the people we are today.#3 - Fitness: This is a big part of my life and it helps me live a fuller life in the other 3 areas. I love the outdoors, going to the gym to workout, watching and playing different sports, and watching movies. I am an avid table tennis player, so I’m always up for a match! I’m also an avid reader and learner.#4 - Finance: I truly enjoy learning about businesses, the way others think, and how they can help others solve problems and find solutions. To me, that’s really what finance is about. It’s about helping people solve their challenges, improving their lives, and if value is created, then there will most likely be some kind of exchange for that value. The best thing is, it doesn’t always have to be money! Sometimes, having a conversation with someone, learning something new, or discovering something that’s improving a relationship is more valuable than any amount of money.I believe helping people keep more control of their money and time is the tool that I've been given to empower people to become the best version of themselves. The world is moving faster than it ever has before, making it harder to focus on the things that are most important. Because of this, most people are losing money and time unknowingly and unnecessarily. Our objective is to help you get this time and money back, build substantial amounts of wealth with less risk and no additional out of pocket cost.https://ryleysmith.net/about/
