My definition of intentional living:
Intentional living for me is having more time for being creative. This is not just for artist but applies to all people as well. As they say, productivity is for doing old things, creativity is doing new things.
My Bio:
Professional chemist with publication in material science and environmental studies. Shifted to being musician and multimedia editor to explore new things. Oftentimes touring around Metro Manila with his band, Autotelic, a pop rock band based in Philippines. He plays synthesizer, keyboard, guitar and have a fair knowledge in music production. While serving at BetterWealth as podcast manager, he is also a solopreneur that focuses on making and selling music as NFT.
Intentional living is never by accident, but is always the result of selfless service, effort, and execution. Intentional living is a representation of wise choices in everything we think, say and do. Intentional living is not something determined by chance, but by choice. Intentional living is a life-long pursuit to turn our good intentions into actions.
Intentional living, to me, is striving to unlock our full abilities while being present with the people you encounter in your life. Taking moments to think through each decision, acting with purpose and reflecting on the result and how to consistently be improving all leads to intentionality. The time we have with those closest to us is quick to flee and there is always an opportunity to pour into them, enjoy the small moments and bring them up to desire to serve, love, be present and improve: intentional living.
To me, it's simple. Intentional living is about living my life without regrets. It means that I'm able to make deliberate decisions in all areas of my life (family, friends, work, spirituality, etc.) so that I can maximize my God-given time, talents, and treasures for as long as He has me here on Earth.

How my role impacts others:
My role is to serve the the Operations team in a way that allows them to show up strong for our clients. I do this through taking many of the small tasks off their plate which allows them to focus on what they do best. I also help behind the scenes with projects and hosting guests.
My definition of intentional living:
My definition of intentional living: I envision intentional living as pausing at any moment before acting and thinking over if it supports the type of person God has called me to be. Having an awareness of my actions and the affect it has on others is powerful and that is what motivates me to be intentional in every area of my life. I want to have an impact on other's that pushes them to think about how they want to show up in the world and the positive impact they can have. Everyone has the opportunity to show up powerfully and it all starts with someone taking the moment to be intentional.

My mission as the lead content producer for BetterWealth is to bring to life the authentic, passionate, and world-changing vision of my team. I oversee all creative projects as-well-as manage BetterWealth's social media accounts and presence.
My definition of intentional living:
To chase curiosity and passions without hindrance or limitations. To explore the world around me and enjoy the gifts of life, family, and love. To serve others in a way that leaves a lasting impact for generations to come.
My Bio:
I grew up in East St. Paul, MN, as the youngest of 3 sons. I was homeschooled through high school and spent most of my time training in Judo and other sports and activities. I became a three-time national champion in Judo and earned a silver at the Junior Olympics. After sustaining many injuries to my head and body, I knew it was time to retire at 21. During this period of my life, I decided to take my passion for music and entrepreneurship more seriously, so I dropped out of nursing school and started my next journey. For four years, I toured around the country, playing music, acting in movies, and developing a knack for content creation and social media. In 2019, I met my wife Jasmine, and began searching for something more sustainable to support our soon-to-be family of three. It wasn't until 2021 that we discovered BetterWealth. I knew from the moment I read the job description and the heart behind the company that I would do whatever I could to get the job.
The wonderful thing about BetterWealth is they don't just promote "intentional living" as a fun slogan. They live it out. This job allows me to invest daily in my passions and dreams without fear of failing or being forced into a mold. BetterWealth is the company of the future, and I couldn't be more thrilled to help see it to that actualization.
My role is to help BetterWealth spread their vision, mission, and knowledge towards millions and millions of people in the social media space with my ability and experience to craft engaging short-form videos. Though I don't face any of the clients, I have the special opportunity to help bridge the gap between BetterWealth and the potential clients.
My definition of intentional living:
Intentional living for me is living my life to the fullest, without regrets, and without letting society dictate my every move.
My Bio:
I started my career in the field of internet marketing in a corporate setting after going to college. But wanting more freedom, I made the jump to freelancing and left corporate 3 years later and used my experience of editing videos for various clients as a side job and turned it into a main job. Through the years, I have worked for entrepreneurs, real estate agents, fitness gurus, music teachers, and YouTubers. Eventually, one of my clients led me to meet with Caleb and work there at BetterWealth.
Intentional living is not coasting through life. At first it will require a lot of "thought power" to be intentional in the most important areas of our life, but eventually with consistency with living that out it will become easier, almost second nature in many ways...though still will require evaluation and accountability to ensure the desired path is being followed as best as possible, as we can always improve.
My role w/ BetterWealth has been, from its inception, to serve and assist within a Client Service capacity, primarily in the space of underwriting w/ our insurance branch (Life & DI). My role allowed the company to expand our reach, being the primary contact between our insurance carriers, our clients, and our agents/coaches...to name a few relationships. Problem solving is definitely a huge part of this role, but it is more of a goal to problem seek...to get in front of anything to best serve those we are working with.

My Bio:
Coming from a family of 10 children, I have my fair share of...well, let's just call it experience. My wife (Mariah) and I currently have three children of our own (Elena, Tirzah, & Brienna), all of whom are amazing blessings in our lives and privileged to be chosen to be their parents. We very much enjoy doing many different things together as a family, primarily quick trips to see different parts of CO (which helps to have family and good friends to visit during those times). We all enjoy the outdoors, good food, as well as music & family movie time. I would say fairly typical things, but the most important thing is that we are doing it together.
Quotes:
"But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15b
Intentional living is making a definitive choice to not let life happen around me, but instead impact life around me through my work and social life by serving others through Christ.
My role is to serve our clients to the best of my ability, and make sure that the relationship between our insurance carriers, and our clients is well maintained, and requests are processed in a timely manner. The life insurance process is messy, and takes far too long. I am doing everything I can to make this fun, and efficient.

My Bio:
I did everything I could to become an intern for BetterWealth while it was still still in a basement in Stevens Point, WI. During my college years I spent time pouring over Caleb's lectures and doing what I could to learn how they would impact as many lives as possible. Becoming one of their biggest advocates during this time, I slowly transitioned into learning the underwriting process with Trevor Wood, and acquiring communicative skills needed to serve people to the best of my ability. in September of 2020, I transitioned into a full time position as the Underwriting Specialist to guide people through our process. I love to serve people in any way that I can, and would like to do the same for you.
Interests:
My wife and I enjoy going on hikes, riding our bikes to the nearest ice cream we can find, or spending a lazy Sunday playing Cribbage. I have spent 14 years playing disc golf and ball golf, and also enjoy beach volleyball, and anything physically active. I enjoy riding my motorcycle as the sun sets, and spending time around the people I care for most.
My role is to serve our clients during the accumulation phase of their financial journeys. With BetterWealth Capital, I serve in a fiduciary capacity, which means that our clients goals, vision and purpose come before our bottom line and they always will. I consult and partner alongside our clients with regards to their investment portfolios and give guidance where needed. I have a unique opportunity to clear up investment confusion our clients may have, and to clearly articulate the purpose of investing for the long term without making our clients feel foolish. The investment industry needs to change for the better and we want to be that catalyst.
My definition of intentional living:
Intentional living is living a life of service with unlimited options to serve however I am called, with whoever I am called, and whenever I am called. My wife and I derive high levels of fulfillment from loving and serving people. “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” -1 John 4:8.
My Bio:
Jonathan Kreidt has the unique opportunity to serve as the President of BetterWealth Capital. BetterWealth Capital is a Registered Investment Advisor and serves its clients in the accumulation phase of their financial journey. Jonathan started his career in the financial services industry as an analyst for a currency trading fund. Quickly, he realized that relationships with people were massively important to him and joined a firm to serve as a junior advisor. After that, he had the opportunity to wholesale for an alternative investment sponsor, which gave him a unique perspective on the investment advisor landscape.
Jonathan is committed to intentional living and intentional investing for the long term. He views money as a tool that should be used to bless people. As president of BetterWealth Capital, Jonathan strives to optimize his clients’ accumulation plan as it relates to their goals, vision and purpose. He believes in always challenging the status quo and that the phase “this is how we have always done things” is one of the most dangerous things an organization can share. Jonathan also serves alongside his wife at Nathaniel’s Hope and Night to Shine because of their hearts to serve the special needs community.
Interests:
I love deep meaningful relationships with people of all walks of life. I enjoy traveling, a quality anejo tequila, and pretty much any adrenaline pumping experience you can think of. When I am not serving BetterWealth Capital you can likely find my wife and I at the golf course, pushing the envelope on a snowboard or reading to prepare for our BetterWealth Book Club.

To live intentionally for me is to help others achieve the goals they set for themselves. Whether that is with my colleagues or with the families we help, I want to see each of them achieve their goals as they walk through life.
