Unlock a Better Tomorrow with the Fiduciary in All Things Movement!

03/14/25 • 42 min

On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with George Kinder, author and founder of the Fiduciary In All Things (FIAT) Movement about the FIAT movement.

In this episode we discussed:

Why FIAT is essential for the future of civilization.
Imagine if we lived in a trustworthy world.
A great first step is to reflect and listen more.
How we can integrate FIAT into our lives, and lead from our personal integrity
Without a fiduciary standard, democracy is undermined and civilization can die.
Why institutions have a higher obligation and need to be trustworthy.

George Kinder is an author and international thought leader. Known in the financial industry as the Father of Life Planning, George has authored 12 books, including three books on money as he revolutionized client-centered financial advice through experiential trainings for thousands of advisors from over 30 countries across six continents.

A mindfulness teacher for thirty-five years, Kinder has led weekly meditation classes and residential retreats around the world. In his latest book, The Three Domains of Freedom, he inspires readers to experience three profound freedoms: the freedom of each moment, the freedom to pursue one's life purpose, and the freedoms of civilization. He advocates a sustainable approach for institutions to prioritize humanity, democracy, the Earth, and the truth above their own self-interest, a concept he terms Fiduciary In All Things (FIAT).

Financial Planning Association’s first Heart of Financial Planning Award in 2006, recognizing “individuals who demonstrate commitment and passion in doing extraordinary work to contribute or give back to the financial planning community and/or the public.”
The Transparency Task Force’s Transparency Trophy (2017), recognizing his role in “helping to navigate the industry towards a more transparent, competitive and enlightened state.“
“One of 20 People Who Shaped the Financial Planning Industry” (“50th Anniversary of Financial Planning” Special Edition, InvestmentNews, 2019).
