Scriptures And Wallstreet: Godly Mindset with Skylar Lewis
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Today we have an awesome, awesome content-packed podcast.
I really wanted to just simply just talk about my experience, my personal journey.
How can you benefit when it comes to your retirement?
Because let's face it, with all the current events that's going on, we don't even know what a man is anymore.
We have problems in the markets.
The VIX is all-time low.
We'll explain what that is later on.
We listen to the media, and we listen to friends, and we feed our minds with just garbage.
And so how does this relate to your mindset as a Christian, as a Christian woman, as a Christian man?
How does it relate to your investments in retirement?
Mindset is everything.
Today, I wanted to focus on mental toughness, our mindset, and how that pertains to you individually in your spiritual walk.
Because when it comes to retirement, the number one thing I get when clients are retired, they call me and say, Hey Carlos, I'm 65 years old and I don't know what to do with my life.
I've worked 9 to 5 for 40 years.
I did something.
I don't even have identity anymore.
It scares me to be with my husband.
It scares me to be with my wife because you spent so much time away from each other.
Well, today I wanted just to talk about my personal experience.
I wanted to bring a friend, a mentor, a brother in Christ that I truly, truly love that has a huge impact in my life.
And honestly, he's just a great role model.
And he's younger than me, by the way.
He's just a great role model and he's a rising star in the personal development space.
He's also been trained by Tony Robbins himself and some other prolific leaders in the personal growth space.
But also a founder of the Rise Up Kings movement.
You guys heard me talk about this on my podcast before.
And author of the Two Day CEO. I wanted to introduce my friend, my brother in Christ, Skyler Lewis.
How are you, my friend?
I am doing good, Carlos.
Happy to be on the show, brother.
Hey, you're always, always welcome.
Just so the audience knows, we have no notes.
I literally just text him, hey, let's talk about this, this, and that.
I just wanted to talk about mental toughness.
When it comes to scriptures on Wall Street and our audience, you kind of know How they think and what kind of demographic we're speaking to.
Is there anything that you would like to say to the audience about just where we're at in an economy or the mindset of the economy and how this pertains to just the Christian movement right now that we're facing?
Anything you would like to share?
Yeah, it's great.
I think during these somewhat uncertain times, it's critical that we stay grounded.
There's a lot happening in our economy.
With some of the banks shutting down, just with all of the issues happening, there can be a lot of fear.
People are wondering what's next.
Where should I put my money?
What should I do with my business?
Do I grow it?
Do I scale it back?
What should I be focused on right now?
I think something critical that we have to remember as men and women is we've got to stay grounded in a couple areas.
One is faith.
We have to trust.
One of my favorite verses is Romans 8.28.
which is in all things God works out everything for the good of those that love him who have been called according to his purpose.
So when we can just rest in God's promise that, hey, he's going to work it all out for good.
So I personally make it a point to not live in fear or anxiety or worry.
Even in my business, I run multiple companies.
I have a company out in California.
I just moved to Texas for obvious reasons why all Californians are moving out.
All conservative Californians are moving out of California.
So I found my new home in Texas, which I absolutely love.
Totally different feel.
And so anyway, so it's critical, back to that, it's critical to have a strong foundation and faith that, hey, God's got it all handled.
He's going to work it all out for the good, so I don't have to worry about my company in California, Rise Up Kings, if we dip in business, anything, He's got it covered.
So I think that's a critical mindset that, as believers, we get to rest on.
I mean, one of the most powerful verses in the Bible is saying, he's got us covered.
And so, so many Christians say, hey, yeah, I believe everything will work out for the good.
Meaning, most people believe...
That life happens for a reason.
Everything happens for a reason.
But when it comes down to it, they really don't believe that.
They'll say, yeah, everything happens for a reason.
But when their wife is leaving them, or their business shuts down, or they have a major health scare...
Do they really believe everything happens for a reason, meaning for the good?
And so we get to rest on that.
And then the second part is, I'll cover it in a little bit, but hey, how do you stay grounded as a man or a woman in your daily routine and your mental mindsets so that you can not only thrive during difficult times or survive, but thrive?
How do you show up and wake up with high energy and gratefulness every single day?
That is what I am all about, teaching and living out.
Amazing, brother.
And you know, another scripture, I believe it's in Matthew, where he talks about he can provide for the birds in the air.
He can provide for the lilies in the field.
How much more are we God's children can he provide for us?
And that goes Romans 8.28 as well.
I love it.
So many listeners are afraid of, what if the election is stolen?
And going back, what if the dollar crashes?
And there's such a huge panic that I feel like a lot of the listeners in the Christian truth movement are trying to find a source to feed their misery.
And can you talk about why that is?
Why does our brain always lean to comfort or something that...
Like feeds the cancer that's in us, mentally speaking.
But is there anything you want to share about that?
Like why people actually try to feed their opinion or maybe play the victim card?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot there, what you just shared.
So something, a personal way that I operate is I'll watch the news, or I won't watch, I'll read the news, or I'll listen to things.
However, I do it to really just gain some information and insight, not to let it control or create worry inside of me.
And so I think there is a lot of Christians in the Christian truth movement, right, that are, they get worried.
What is happening with the dollar?
How is inflation going to be impacting me?
And again, we're not called to worry.
So how can you take in information and then make appropriate decisions?
So when SVB, when that whole little crisis happened, I didn't go into panic mode.
I was thoughtful, moved some money around, and made sure I was just being diligent with what I had.
So can you still be diligent?
So if the economy shifts, we're called to be diligent, but we also just have to trust and have faith.
How do we step into more of faith versus fear?
And so there's a lot of Christians that live in fear of what will happen.
I mean, there's nothing new under the sun.
There's always going to be economies that drop.
There's going to be issues that we run into.
But how do we live in a place of faith versus a regular place of fear and anxiety?
And like my mom, right, she watches tons of just shoot Christian media and I love Christian media, but then there's some of them that just purposely try to get you to worry and fear.
And so she's stuck in fear.
She's literally in her house all day long watching TV shows and watching the news, probably six hours a day, seven, eight hours a day.
And she's stuck in fear, like almost debilitating fear.
So a habit, right?
One of the habits to really work on is what's a habit that can get you out of that fear?
One is gratitude.
So I'm a big believer in gratitude.
So every day I write out three things that I'm grateful for.
Because you can't be in fear and in gratitude at the same time.
It's not actually possible.
So you're either grateful or you're fearful or you're entitled.
So I choose to practice gratitude on a daily basis.
And throughout the day, if I can tell I'm getting anxious, I'll sit back, I'll say a prayer, and then I'll just realize what I'm grateful for.
And so I'm retraining my brain to come from a place of gratitude versus a place of worry and fear.
So if the listeners, if anybody on this show is like, man, I regularly catch myself going into a place of worry or fear, You can reach, that's a mental pattern, right?
There's neural pathways that now have been strengthened that move towards worry.
So you can shift your thinking and your mental patterns, and you do that through whatever your rituals are, whatever your daily habits are.
So if you have a daily habit of gratitude, daily habit of thankfulness, multiple times throughout the day praying, like these will slowly shift those mental patterns to where you don't go to worry anymore, you go to what you're grateful for.
Wow, that's powerful.
You know, it's that cliche, garbage in, garbage out.
It's that garbage in, garbage out.
We've got to be careful of what we're listening to.
As a worship leader in my church, I'm very convicted of the music I listen to and even the words that I read.
So I truly believe your environment that you're creating is a reproduction of what you're actually doing.
So that is very powerful.
So my next question, Skylar, is...
I mean this as a funny joke, but I really am dead serious.
The Bud Light transgender...
You know, it's a real thing right now.
I mean, it's funny, like we can make fun of it, but the pronouns issue is look where our society is going.
And so I think as Christians, that Bible-believing Christians, we know the new world order is coming.
We know that the one world government is coming.
And then you see how God says evil will become good and good will become evil.
And when we have somebody chopping off their penis...
And saying, hey, I'm a woman and there's companies that are woke now that promote this transgender agenda, particularly through ESGs.
And now Jerome Powell and Joe Biden all want ESGs in their 401Ks and IRAs.
And you have these woke companies that really stand against our beliefs.
So, I don't know if you want to shed some light on why is pop culture embracing this transgender movement and then maybe you want to bleed into what a four pillar man is and What is a woman?
And the wussification of the Christian man in America.
And maybe what Rise Up Kings is doing to be the antidote for this.
I mean, I'll give you the whole platform.
And like I said, there's no notes here, guys.
We're just having a real candid conversation because people need to hear your message, Skylar.
That's good.
Yeah, we get a lot of haters, especially from the woke side of the...
Woke side of the street.
And they hate on what we do, right?
We're developing warriors, right?
Part of what Rise of Kings does is we put on some experiential events that are helping men level up in different areas.
And so what we see happening right now in our society, it's when sin enters, right?
This is what sin does.
It confuses people and it dilutes truth, right?
The basic truths, a man and a woman.
Right, so that, I mean, it's gotten that ridiculous.
So I'm pretty passionate about this.
I could go on for a while.
And I do my best to focus on what I can do, right?
Like, what can we do to counteract and to bring light into the world in a broken world?
I mean, the people, this is not slowing down anytime soon.
More and more companies are going to jump on the woke bandwagon.
One, because they're afraid of the repercussions of not doing it.
And some people just believe in...
Yeah, just believe in allowing anything, right?
Anything goes.
And so we have to take a stand.
And there's not enough men.
I was watching, some people may or may not like him, but Mark Driscoll.
And he's very, very pro-masculinity and having healthy, strong men.
And he's getting destroyed by the woke community.
And he was funny.
He did a little video on the Bud Light actually yesterday.
And he showed the Bud Light and he was joking around, but he said, hey, you know, I don't drink, but when I drink, I don't drink Bud Light.
And he showed like whiskey after that, like real men drink whiskey.
And it was just a funny little joke, but he was getting like, they're out on attack.
So if you go anti-woke, like there's some, you have a battle to fight.
And not everybody can be as vocal and outspoken as you, right?
You have a lot of courage to be able to do this.
So what we're doing, right?
What do we do?
So for the average American, how do we take a stand?
How do we take a stand and how do we really, at our jobs and in our businesses, how do we live a life that glorifies God?
And the way to counteract that is through being loving, strong Christians.
So it's representing Christ well in your business, right?
How do you bring faith out in your company?
While other companies are shutting down faith, How do you be the company that actually is helping faith rise in your organization or in your department that you're running?
How can you bring a little bit of spiritualness and some God into the workplace when everyone's counteracting that?
Yes, there's risk, but not as much as you would think.
So I think it's our role.
And why wouldn't people do that?
Because It's scary, right?
Bringing God into the workplace is a scary thing, and it takes courage.
And so, I'm all about having men and women be courageous, right?
And there's a Bible verse, I was reading it today, 2 Timothy 1.7, is, For the Spirit of God does not make us timid.
But gives us love, power, and self-discipline.
Whichever version you read.
Power, love, and self-discipline.
So He gives us the power, the love, and the self-discipline.
So He's giving us that courage to go take a stand in our communities.
And so part of Rise Up King's mission is to awaken this generation where we release this fire of starting with the men.
We believe that everything starts with the man and the way he leads his household, the way he leads in his church.
It starts with the man and how he leads, and then it really filters down to everybody else.
If we can change a man and help him be healed, because there's a lot of broken, I mean, toxic masculinity, quote-unquote.
There's a lot of broken men out there that abuse their power.
They really do.
They abuse their power.
It doesn't mean masculinity should not be there.
It means we've got to do a little bit of healing so that we can have these strong, powerful beasts of men lead and protect our families, but do it from a place of healing and a place of love, not just bravado.
And Skyler, I just want to add something to that real quick.
It's interesting that you say that because if you watch the movies, if you watch Facebook, the TikToks, or even the commercials, and particularly blacks and Hispanics, they're always trying to make us look gay or completely like a wussy.
They're trying to make the man look like a wussy.
And they're marketing that like crazy.
And so it's...
It's almost like Project Paperclip.
They're programming how men should be.
And men are wearing purses.
Look at Bad Bunny.
He looks like a freaking wussy wearing a purse.
They got LeBron James on social media wearing a purse.
Dwayne Wade.
And that's not a man.
We're not supposed to look like...
Feminine at all.
And so it goes hand in hand with what you're saying.
Well, they combine not only feminine, but they combine men looking stupid, right?
Think back to the Simpsons, right?
And Homer Simpson, Al Bundy, just these immature, right?
They portray this man character, right, as immature.
Yeah.
And as an immature man.
And what do you see now, right?
Kids nowadays, boys, they're standing at home until they're 30.
Mm-hmm.
The statistic is over 70% from ages 18 to 30 years old are still living at home with their parents.
And so it's turned in that they created that probably intentionally, right?
Where now these men are...
They're still being taken care of by their parents, so they're not really men.
What a man is, is when you turn 18, you go from being taken care of to now taking care of somebody else, right?
Not only yourself, but other people.
And so we have a bunch of men that are still needing to be taken care of by their parents.
And so it's not only just the...
Right.
Kind of feminizing men.
But it's also, right, the culture showing that men are immature and they're basically irrelevant to society when they are the most important part of society.
When a man falls, like, everything starts to crumble.
And so when you pull a man out of a family, we all see it.
We know what happens to the family unit.
Right.
We know what happens to inner cities when you pull men out of the inner cities.
It will destroy an entire culture.
That's what we're seeing happening right now.
100%.
Before I talk about the Randy Alcorn, The Law of Rewards that you sent me, before I talk about this book real quick, what is...
The Rise Up King refinery process.
So what is Rise Up King like?
I obviously know what it is.
I'm a big fan of it.
It's changed my life.
I wear my band every day.
This is my backup band.
I have like five of them.
But what...
What can someone expect going through a refinery process and how can they find Rise Up Kings and what is your mission through the refinery process for a man?
And I know it's not just for business owners now.
It's opened up to non-business owners for someone that wants to really just elevate their game spiritually, financially, now physically and emotionally.
Talk to me about the refinery process and what Rise Up Kings is doing to just promote God-fearing men and rebuilding the Christian-based testosterone that our country needs.
It's great.
Yeah, I started Rise Up Kings because I saw just a gap.
I saw a gap in personal development.
We see Tony Robbins.
We see a lot of these other kind of gurus or big-time personal development people, and there's some good nuggets in there, and it's secular.
Right?
It's pulling people away from God.
They talk about personal power, right?
You can do it all on your own.
Actually, you can't do it all on your own.
You do need God.
And so traditional personal growth and personal development is all about personal power, not your power that you have through God.
And so I love transformation.
I love seeing people's lives change.
It's one of the things that gets me most fired up.
But I was seeing a lot of people where their lives would actually change, but it would pull them away from God.
And so I said, hey, there's a gigantic gap where men and women need this transformation, but where do they go?
Where do you go for faith-based personal development, like transformational?
Because there's regular personal growth, which is going to a seminar or reading a book, and there's transformational personal growth where you leave a different person, not just head knowledge, but your heart and your soul shifts.
And that's what I'm all about.
And so, Ruck is really, our foundation is the four pillars.
Faith, Family, fitness, and finances.
And I've found, especially for men, we struggle staying balanced.
We'll focus on our business.
We might put in 8, 10, 12, 14 hours, and then we give the leftovers typically to our wives.
And so it happens all day long.
And eventually, our wives become bitter and resentful.
And even though they may not show it, it starts to deteriorate the marriage.
And so while guys were built to work, we are.
And we still need to make sure we're loving our wife and our kids and giving them not just the leftovers, which is what so many men are doing.
And so to not have this happen and to be intentional about it, there's got to be some kind of process.
And so the four pillars is faith, family, fitness, and finance.
And we teach men to invest in these on a daily basis.
Every day investing in your faith, every day investing in your marriage and your fitness and in your financial side of things, whether it's your business, sales, marketing, or whether you're working at a job and you're learning to become more skilled.
So that's our foundation.
But the refinery is a process where we refine the impurities of a man.
We create a process, a three-day process, where...
We have about 12 different experiences.
And through that process, all the impurities, we see the weakness leaving the man.
We see immaturity leaving the man, carelessness leaving the man.
We create a different version of that human being in this three days through a series of emotional experiences, vulnerability, through physical experiences, spiritual experiences.
All around.
And so it's pretty cool.
I love this stuff, as you can tell.
And then, yeah.
So that's the refinery process.
We refine a guy.
We get him to his pure essence, which is powerful and loving and caring and thoughtful.
We remove the impurities so he can step back into his marriage and his business or his job and go lead with a whole other level of power.
So that is really, at the essence, what Ruck is about.
And then my wife works with all their wives and helps them do that same process, but really helping them tap into their feminine nature more than their masculine nature.
Yeah.
No, I'm a big fan.
And we're going to show some pictures right now, if you can show some of these images of my refinery process and my journey.
Here they are.
This is me actually volunteering for one event.
We were We're playing in the mud.
The mud experience in the back of Skylar's backyard.
And here is me, actually, right now, rededicating my soul to Christ our Lord and confessing my sins in front of men in the ice bath.
This is a great experience.
However, I just wanted to say thanks, Skylar.
God has literally put his hand on your heart to transform America.
This is a movement that was too hot to handle at one point for you, and now you are...
Stowing up treasures in heaven by making those daily, daily deposits, investing in men and in marriages and in women.
So the network, my family, personally, can't thank you enough for just doing God's work.
Anything you want to share about why you wanted to talk about this book, the laws of rewards, why you sent me this book?
Anything you want to share?
Because I know it shifted your heart tremendously as of recent.
Yeah, that's great, dude.
Especially people, I'm sure, watching your show, a lot of their intent is to store up wealth for themselves.
It's to increase their net worth.
So part of my intention is I want to increase my net worth, which it's been growing.
And so through that process, though, we can get almost so obsessed with increasing our net worth that we forget about the eternal realm.
Because what happens when we leave this world?
We don't get to bring our wealth with us.
So we have all this focus on increasing our wealth, and then we die and it's gone.
Then we move to the next realm, which is the eternal realm, and now we're in heaven.
And so this book describes the process, and God, throughout the entire book, talks about storing treasures up in heaven.
Because we can store treasures here on earth, and or we can store treasures in heaven.
Because this silver gold will pass.
It will be burned away.
And however, we get an opportunity to store treasure in heaven.
How do we do that?
It's through how we invest our money and our time and our talent in this world.
So it's not only our time.
But it's, hey, when you give back, biblically it talks about when you give back to the kingdom now, you take some of the money that you could have used for building your own wealth and you go hand that off to God's kingdom while you're alive.
That wealth...
It moves forward into eternity, into heaven.
So there's crowns that are given.
I mean, there's so much descriptors involved.
And it's not just crowns.
It's like, where are you living?
What is your level?
There's not one level in heaven.
There's multiple levels.
Are you going to be leading other people?
Are you based on how you stewarded your time and your talent and your resources?
Or are you going to be under somebody else's leadership?
It was very convicting.
I want to live for God.
I really do.
And I have a tendency, right?
I can get excited about money and get excited about growth and what I can do with that money.
And I need to check in and say, hey, I want to also be living for God.
And so that was a very convicting book that just said, hey, it helped me check in.
There's a bigger game we're playing here.
It's just not how much wealth can I build while I'm on earth.
That's, hey, what can I build while I'm in heaven?
Or what can I build?
Because we get one chance.
Once you're in heaven, that's done.
We get one shot at setting up our life in eternity.
And it's not all going to be the same.
We're not all going to have the same roles.
And so we get one shot, this little dash of life, we get to set up eternity.
So we got to make the best of it.
A vapor.
A vapor in the air is what our life is.
Just a vapor in the air.
It goes by quick.
No, you shared some awesome insights there.
The fact that this book is a shift, it's a huge, huge mindset shift because it's so much easier to trust the money in your bank account than God's Word.
Because we see it.
We're human.
We understand that, hey, we have enough to cover the mortgages for the rest of the year.
And then we tend to focus on the greed.
Yeah, you're human.
I'm human.
I got into money game, obviously, 20 years ago because I was excited about money.
I studied it.
I never loved it, but I was always infatuated about what it does to people.
When you open up scripture, the number one topic is money.
I really believe that God uses money to test our character in many ways.
It's cool that you say that.
My aim for this show, even though I was paying on a monthly basis and I wasn't getting any business for my own show, But God put it in my heart just to speak truth.
So there's really no financial services podcaster that actually has the actual platform to just speak truth without no aim.
I didn't start this podcast to make a ton of money.
It just happens to be that clients call me from this podcast, which is great.
That's a blessing.
But you taught me that, Skylar.
You taught me We're good to go.
Money will dwindle, but those who save little by little will last forever.
I think that's what the scripture says.
But having the aim of whatever business that you have, whatever job you have, if your aim is focused on a cross, then everything just lines up perfectly.
Am I making sense there?
Is that something that you can shed some light on?
Yeah, and I think it's important, right, to also have a loose grip on money.
What I've found is most human beings, right, we have this tight grip on money, right?
And so it could look a couple different ways.
So one is it could be a tight grip that, hey, I want more of this.
And so your grip is tight on it.
And then you have the second version is, hey, I'm afraid of losing what I have.
That's called a tight grip on money.
And so what I found is that God tends to...
My fear is that I get too tight of a grip on money where I have a grip on it where he says, okay, you want to hold on to money more than you're holding on to me?
Cool.
I'll just remove all of the money so all you have left is me to grip on to.
And so...
I've built that as a part of my life strategy where I purposely keep a loose grip on finances and money.
Now, I'm still diligent.
I'm still thoughtful.
I'm still intentional.
I'm still detailed with my money and my finances, but I have a loose grip.
If God wants us to not have this 16-acre property to do this, I'm okay.
If we have to restart, I'm okay.
I've come to terms with the fact that I may have some nice things, but I'm totally good if...
They're taken away, and if I no longer have them.
So that mindset has given me a lot of freedom and peace, but I believe it's also just an effective mindset for Christians because, like, what do we want to be gripped onto, right?
God, we can't grip onto both.
Is it God or is it money?
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with having money, but man, we've got to have our grip on God, which means we want to have a loose grip on our finances.
Still be smart with them, but not be emotionally attached to our finances.
Yeah.
And honestly, when it comes to proactive retirement planning, I can't preach enough our covenant process here at Cortez Wealth Management.
Skylar, what we preach is we have a covenant process where we're diversified because we know a financial storm's coming.
So we actually preach that, hey, we need to put a third into precious metals.
We need to put a third into...
An insurance contract that guarantees your principal but still can keep up with inflation.
And we have limited free withdrawals.
And then a third into the actual markets where it's going to...
Should the economy start booming again?
Because we are America.
We can't turn our back on America.
So we need to have some liquidity and be in a place where if the markets does take off...
We are in well position.
But if a financial storm comes, we have safe money.
We have money set aside in case the dollar does crash.
And we have money set aside in case the market manipulations take off and America is still the number one badass country in the world.
So that is our covenant process.
I think in preparation, like when God says be a steward of your money, I think that's universal.
We have to be a steward in all things because the storm will come and we have to prepare.
What I love about the refinery process is you get in there and you fight.
Most of those guys, when they went to the refinery, they were taking it off guard.
How in shape are you?
Because what if there is someone that comes in your home and tries to rob and steal and kill your family?
How are you going to show up as a man to defend your family?
With all this media and the weakening of a man, I really feel that that is just a universal concept that we can learn from.
I may be rambling there, but how can someone that's listening How can they find you and how can they level up their spiritual, financial, emotional game?
Where can they find you?
Talk about what the process is to register for a RUC event.
I hope you guys do because this personally has literally changed my life.
I'm not charging Skylar at all, just so you guys are aware.
I don't make any money off this.
I truly wanted to invest in this message.
That was my aim for this episode, and Skylar was gracious enough, as busy he is, to just share some content with us.
But how can people find you, Skylar?
Yeah, that's great.
So for people that are interested in the event, riseupkings.com.
And there's an opportunity to apply to see if you can be qualified to attend one of the events, whether you're a business owner or a non-business owner.
We also just launched a Gen Z event, which is pretty cool.
So 18 to 26-year-olds, I have a passion for this younger generation that they level up and that they do it in a godly way.
And so we have events specifically designed for them.
And so riseupkings.com.
I'm also on social media, Skylar Lewis, S-K-Y-L-A-R Lewis.
And then also my book, Two Day CEO. So for those business owners that are watching this, the Two Day CEO just has got a lot of good nuggets on leveling up in your business and getting the business to operate.
So you can follow your passion and your purpose and what you do, right?
I'm able to do that because I have, you know, our 46 employees in California that operate that business completely on their own.
So that's how they can get a hold of me.
But Man, I would just say, how do you level up?
For one, I'm glad they're watching your podcast.
They're learning and they're gaining new insights.
And it's not just about money, but it seems like it's also about more than that.
It's about your spiritual life.
It's about mindset.
It's about your belief systems.
I would challenge people to level up personally.
If you want to increase your wealth, increase your value to this world, it's how well you develop your skill sets and how well you develop your mindsets and your belief systems.
There's a saying, leaders are readers.
So dive into some books, right?
Make it a goal to read a book a month, 12 books this year.
Continue to dive into personal development and personal growth.
It's game time.
The people that are not learning and developing, they're going to get left behind.
Right now, everything is moving so fast.
What you thought was valuable and the value you added last year a couple years ago, it's completely changing.
So you have to be cutting edge if you want to stay employed or continue to progress financially and impact-wise.
It's game on.
So just to have a hunger to grow and to learn and to develop, I think, is something that can be cultivated and is pretty important.
That is awesome.
Well, Skyler Lewis, folks, a man of God, a four-pillar man.
