S2 E98 • Nov 19, 2025 • 38 mins

In this episode of Wisdom on the Front Porch, LS Kirkpatrick and Freddie Rapinna explore wealth versus money, comparing finance to checkers and chess. They discuss generational wealth, trust funds, and changing views on debt. Freddie shares strategies for economic challenges, multiple income streams, and understanding one's financial game. They aim to bridge the wealth gap, simplify financial concepts, and offer a practical car-buying example. The episode also covers small business lessons from COVID-19, diversification, and educating future generations on finance, concluding with ways to connect with Freddie Rapinna.

Key Points

  • Understanding the difference between playing financial "checkers" and "chess" can significantly impact your ability to build wealth and financial security.
  • True wealth is defined not just by the amount of money you have but by the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with whom you want.
  • Strategically using debt to acquire income-generating assets can be a more effective way to achieve financial independence than simply avoiding debt altogether.
