Our first interview on the Financial Pathway podcast: an interview with my dad, Kurt Skelly! Honestly, there's no one else I'd rather have as my first guest. We talk about the money lessons I learned from my dad growing up and how kids often learn more from what they see their parents do than what their parents say. In the second half of the conversation, we shift the discussion to my dad's experience as a pastor. We talk about how he approaches teaching/preaching on finances and what advice he would give to pastors who find this a difficult subject.  Email: [email protected] Website: http://nateskelly.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/finanancialpathwayllc
