⛈️ SWN 96 - 05/10/26 | Raising the Roof on Storm Readiness ⛈️

This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with Rob and Cathy Conner of Conner Roofing. A local, family-owned roofing company built on reputation, reliability, and relationships in the St. Louis community for over 30 years. When the storm hits, you want someone you can count on. Count on Conner.

🎤 Join Chris Cooper, Rob, and Cathy as they weather the storms of hail, wind damage, and a shifting insurance landscape. Storm readiness isn’t just what’s on your roof. It’s what’s in your policy. And why that knock on the door offering a “free inspection” may cost you far more than the “claim” of savings.

A storm doesn’t ask if you’re ready. It just shows up and starts the clock. And when it does, you need the right people on your roof and the right coverage protecting it.

A quality roofer repairs the damage. Who pays for it depends on your policy.

🔎 SWN 95 - 05/03/26 | The Fortis Focus 🔎

This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with David Cleary of Fortis Capital Advisors. The chief investment officer whose job is to cut through the noise, read the data, and keep advisors and investors focused on what really matters.

🎙️ Join Chris Cooper and David as they unpack the economy and market today, beyond the headlines. From geopolitical conflict and energy prices to a $40 trillion national debt and a new Fed chair. The fundamentals are still talking. The real question, are you listening?

As humans, we react to emotions. But a financial strategy analyzes data, interprets the reports, and balances emotion with professional experience.

Headlines speak in emotion. The data is in the details.

🏠 SWN 94 - 04/26/26 | Built on Equity. Built for Generations. 🏠

This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with Jim Brennan of McKelvey Homes. A builder, a businessman, and a living example of what it looks like when you bet on yourself with your equity on the line.

🎙️ Join Chris Cooper and Jim as they break ground on why homeownership is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools most families own. How smart use of equity can fund a business, a legacy, and a future. And why starting with the home you can afford today is the first move toward the one you've always wanted.

A home is more than a roof over your head. It's a foundation. The equity you build inside those four walls can open doors far beyond the front one.

You don't start at your dream home. You build your way there.

🎓 SWN 93 - 04/19/26 | Literacy Lessons for Life and Legacy 🎓 

This week on The #SerenityWealthNow Show, we sit down with AJ Cooper. A 20-year-old marketing and finance student, five-year veteran of the working world, and a great example of the impacts of starting early.

🎙️ Join Chris Cooper and AJ as they work through the lesson plan in real time. Filing your first tax return, why a Roth IRA at 20 can quietly become one of the most powerful decisions of your lifetime, and what financial literacy really looks like when it’s passed down at the dinner table.

The lessons that shape a financial future rarely come from a textbook. They come from the conversations you’re lucky enough to have and the wisdom to act on them.

Give a kid a fish, they eat for a day. Teach them to fish, they eat for life. Pass along the knowledge. Success tends to follow.
