Simple Step: That One Person
231 Plays2 years ago
Often times cutting your own path involves being bold, persistent in the face of difficulty and criticism, and an almost supernature focus. One of the risks in this path, however, is blindness. Oftentimes, we can't see our own risks with the same keen eye we might see it in others. To help, you need that one person in your life who can say anything to you.
In this week's simple step, we're talking about that one person and how important they are to living an uncommon life and not tripping over yourself in the process. Plus, why it can't be your spouse and how you might go about finding that person if you don't already have one.
Who is your one person? Let us know in the comments.

Hello and welcome everybody to another episode of the Uncomma Wealth Podcast where I'm your host, Phillip Ramsey. And I'm Aaron Kramer. Coming back at you with the simple step, wicky wick. What are we going to talk about today, Aaron Kramer.
Discussing Risk Assessment and Unbiased Advice
00:00:37
Speaker
We're going to talk about like seeing your hold. What is your risk assessment and who you have in your life other than your spouse.
00:00:45
Speaker
to help you with your risk. Good clarification. Yeah. I feel like we all have holes and we all have our own perceptions, which news flash, our perceptions are probably not always going to be reality. No. In fact, a lot of the times they're not going to be. So who is that person in your life to be able to pull you aside and be like, Hey,
00:01:04
Speaker
this might not be how you foresee it happening or this might be a hole that you don't see. Um, I think it's important and I want to just do a quick announcement. If that is, if you see me doing that, I don't care who you are, how well you know me, pull me aside, tell me, Hey, I think you're off here. So, but I do think it's important to have that one specific person and that's who you're talking about. So,
00:01:24
Speaker
Keep going, keep rippling this, we got five minutes.
Phillip's Personal Experience with Financial Advice
00:01:26
Speaker
Yeah, so I have, if we're talking about finances, everybody thinks that us financial advisors should do our own stuff. For some reason, I don't know, we're the only industry that seems to be like that. It's true. So anyways, when I came to this, this shows you how emotional money is. I'm pretty good with math. I feel like I'm gonna have to stick to mathematics for our money, but
00:01:48
Speaker
When it comes to emotions, I was like, I heard this. I was like, yeah, I need my own financial advisor planner. So what did I do?
00:01:55
Speaker
I hired my trusty old friend, Phillip Ramsey. So I pay him to do my finances. I want to say this again, guys. I pay him to do my finances. Because there's times I am great with other people's money, but I cannot see my own holes. I get super excited about something, or me and my wife, or having a debate on something. And again, we are too close. We love each other too much. We're at the stop.
00:02:24
Speaker
Let's get a third party perspective. Yeah, I think that's wise.
How to Find a Reliable Advisor
00:02:28
Speaker
So I think the reason for the podcast is who it is in your life, said listener, that person that you can go to and be like, hey, I need to bounce some ideas off of you. I want to make sure I'm looking at this clearly or making sure you can speak into some place where I think there might be a hole. Yeah. I think that's good. How would you suggest somebody going about that if they're like, I don't have anybody?
00:02:50
Speaker
Oh man, I guess it kind of comes down to subject, right? That's a good point. So if it is money, then I would find the financial planner and like somebody you mess with. If it's outside that, maybe it's a trusted friend that can like be non-judgmental.
00:03:03
Speaker
or a therapist, you know, it's kind of one of those things that I think it goes down to, but you have to have them in your life. Yeah, that's true. For the times when it's going to get rocky and have it before it gets to that point. Yes.
A Client Story: Navigating Personal Conflicts
00:03:16
Speaker
So I, this is a true story. This was a long time ago, maybe 10 years, I've taken a nap.
00:03:21
Speaker
And my wife comes home and she's like, Hey, we got trouble in River City. And I was like, what's that mean? And what's that mean for me? You know, she was like, I have a good friend that's coming over. Her husband are in a heated mess, like an argument. And they just want a sounding board to like,
00:03:36
Speaker
walk through this and I was like, oh baby, which I really respected them. That's, that takes some guys, right? So they come home, they come over and then they're just like in the heat of this battle and like walk it through. So it was, it was kind of like what you're talking about. Who are those people? Obviously we had a relationship before then. It was, it wasn't like, Hey, I don't know Philip and Aaron at all. We're coming over and we're going to just drop this bomb on them. Yeah.
00:03:59
Speaker
But it was, hey, we've had a relationship with Philip and Brian or Philip and Aaron, sorry. And we really respect them. Uh, so we need to kind of walk through this cause we're just having trouble with this area.
Challenge to Listeners: Seek Honest Feedback
00:04:10
Speaker
And how many times do we have that personally? Like where we have maybe an awesome idea, but then we wanted to try to bounce this idea off of somebody before we get our spouse involved. Yeah, it's good. Good perspective. So man, that's kind of our challenge to you. Uh, and the simple step is to one first,
00:04:28
Speaker
Understand who is that identify that person and then to maybe reach out and say hey, thanks for being that for me Yeah, and I might be calling you like I always have and just but I just wanted to give you some edification You're that person for me. Thanks for being there. I think it's a really good simple step Yeah, I find it's very rewarding to have somebody in your corner But also call you out on your your holes because you can't see your own hole. So yes, you're can't yeah, I
00:04:54
Speaker
That's good.
