Steve sits down with Chad Daugherty, a financial advisor with Edward Jones, whose career path is anything but conventional.

Chad shares his journey from working at Valdosta State University to stepping into the fast-paced world of financial advising—an unexpected transition shaped by relationships, trust, and a deep sense of calling. Rather than chasing numbers alone, Chad explains how his work is grounded in integrity and long-term relationships, believing that who you are matters just as much as what you produce.

The conversation dives into Chad’s desire to become a Certified Kingdom Advisor, a step that reflects his commitment to aligning financial stewardship with biblical principles. He speaks candidly about the tension many professionals feel—meeting performance expectations while remaining faithful to deeply held values—and why authenticity and humility are non-negotiable in both business and life.

This episode offers an honest look at what it means to succeed without compromising your faith, and how values-driven leadership can make a lasting impact far beyond the balance sheet.
