View from the Summit

Let me be the first to raise my hand on lessons learned the hard way. I got married early, 19 years old; Robin was 18, two weeks out of high school. I don’t need to tell you how selfish most young adults are at this age. 

As I think about relationships, and the importance of them, my relationship with my wife is only second to my relationship with Christ. This took me years to finally understand and fully comprehend the full impact of putting my wife in the correct order. I openly admit that my personal desires trumped everything early on. 

The financial experts have it all wrong. They talk about the strength of the dollar. They argue over if you should buy physical gold as a hedge against inflation.  They advise a balanced approach and diversification.

My approach over the last five years has been in a currency you may not have considered.  I'm all in on relationships, the ultimate currency.

Before you disregard relationships as a currency, consider what currency is.

• A store of value
• Something that is shared, accepted and circulated
• It's worth comes from both parties agree it has worth

Relationships are the ULTIMATE CURRENCY.
