From Stage to Strategy: Building Wealth That Lasts with Country Artist Kevin Fowler

On this episode of Wisdom & Wealth, host Cory Procter sits down with country music artist Kevin Fowler to talk about the financial realities behind life in the spotlight. Kevin Fowler shares his personal journey of learning how to turn income into long-term wealth. At just 27, he made one of his first major financial moves—purchasing three acres of land. That decision sparked a strategy that would grow into an impressive real estate portfolio, including commercial properties and historic buildings. His philosophy is simple: invest in assets that produce income and appreciate over time. Both Kevin and Cory Procter discuss how athletes and musicians often face unique financial challenges—irregular income, short career windows, and the temptation to spend big early. Kevin emphasizes the importance of avoiding frivolous purchases and instead focusing on opportunities that build lasting financial stability. The conversation also touches on how the rise of the internet changed the music industry, with Kevin highlighting the impact of his 2000 album Beer, Bait & Ammo in expanding his reach and shaping his career.

Rethinking Accounting: Why You Need More Than a CPA

In this episode of Wisdom & Wealth, Cory Procter sits down with Daniel Spencer from More Time Advisory to unpack the hidden pitfalls of relying on one professional for both bookkeeping and tax preparation.

Together, they explore how collaboration between accountants, CPAs, and other financial experts creates better oversight, stronger planning, and fewer conflicts.

Tax Savvy Ways of Charitable Giving

In this episode of Wisdom and Wealth, host Cory Procter dives into tax-smart strategies for charitable giving. He explains why donating cash is often the least efficient option, since it may expose givers to higher tax burdens. Instead, he highlights the advantages of donating appreciated stocks, which allows donors to bypass capital gains taxes while maximizing their impact. Cory also compares donor-advised funds with private foundations, noting that donor-advised funds are typically simpler to manage and come with stronger tax benefits. For landowners, he explores the use of conservation easements, which provide both long-term land preservation and significant tax deductions. Finally, Cory shares bonus gifting strategies, including making use of the annual gifting exclusion and paying education costs directly to institutions—both of which can avoid the need for gift tax reporting. This episode provides practical, tax-savvy ways to align generosity with financial wisdom.
