Money isn’t just numbers—it’s about balance, purpose, and protection.

In this powerful episode of the Charge Forward Podcast, financial advisor Eddie Knight of 1847 Financial joins host Jim Cripps to tackle one of the most common problems in personal finance: disorganized, disconnected decisions that leave families vulnerable.

Eddie shares how his unlikely transition from biology and forensics into financial planning turned into a mission-driven career—especially after helping a grieving family file a life insurance claim for a client he’d just met months before. That life-changing moment reshaped his perspective: “You’re no longer just in the business, the business is in you.”

💥 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why most people operate with a “financial junk drawer” and how to fix it
• The 3-part formula for financial balance: protection, savings, and growth
• How to teach kids about compound interest and the value of early saving
• Why your CPA, advisor, and insurance agent should not work in silos
• The mindset shift that makes insurance a privilege—not a burden
• How to uncover and close dangerous gaps in your financial plan

Jim and Eddie also explore financial literacy for kids, the impact of unexpected life events, and how small, intentional actions can reshape your financial future—starting today.

Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or reevaluating your strategy, this episode will inspire you to take a more holistic, balanced, and purpose-driven approach to money. 7792677SC_Apr27
