Today we’d like to introduce you to Warren Ganues
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I am a man of faith, A financial Advisor, a devoted husband to my incredible life partner
Missy, and a proud father to two beautiful daughters: Kimora and Faith. While these
roles define the heart of who I am, my life’s journey is a testament to reinvention,
passion, and purpose. I am originally from Kinston, a small town in North Carolina.
Born to a father that was a member of the US army and a mother that had a career in
banking and then in healthcare financing. He was also blessed with a loving stepfather
and stepmother that have played integral roles in my life and in becoming the man
I am today.
My transformation began with a profound interest in financial management,
mental health, and spiritual wellness. At my core, I am a teacher, driven by a
passion for using my voice to educate and inspire others. My academic journey
reflects this commitment: I attended North Carolina Central University, an esteemed
HBCU, and furthered his education at Strayer University as a business major. I
earned an MBA in Financial Project Management from Colorado State University.
Despite these accomplishments i aim to remain grounded and relatable in my approach.
My expertise extends beyond finance and entertainment. I am a personal safety
consultant and firearms instructor with AHD Training Center, based in San Antonio.
Additionally, I am a mentor and the Director of Business Development and Content
Creation for Leaders in Training (LIT), a youth mentorship program in San Antonio.
Through LIT, I collaborate with passionate leaders to empower young men and
inspire positive change in the community.
I am also active in his church, GodChaser Community Church, where I play a
vital role in social media evangelism, spreading faith and encouragement online.
Whether teaching, mentoring, or entertaining, i always aim to exemplify leadership
with purpose and passion. My commitment to growth— for myself and for others’—is
evident in every aspect of my life.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The number one obstacle I have experienced is mindset shift, and now I choose to help other people within various avenues shift their mindset to accomplish their goals. Mindset is the first step to any change, I have spent much of my life changing and developing a
mindset so that I can be best version of myself. I often refer to myself as a ” perspective
changer” no matter if this in the financial, mental, or spiritual spectrum. Changing perspective can lead to
changing mindset, which can then lead to an overall better quality of life. Specifically in the financial
realm many people have negative attitudes and thoughts towards money. I pride myself in being
able to have relevant, and personalized conversations that can help to transform these negative mindsets
so that people are able to reach and set goals that allow them and their families to live life on their terms.
Or as my favorite phrase goes “I don’t want you to die rich, I want you to live rich!”
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a licensed Financial Advisor with Edward Jones. On a day to day basis I partner with everyday people to help them discover, plan, and accomplish their financial goals for themselves and their families. I specializes in

Advisor with Edward Jones serving the San Antonio Area. One of my largest achievements to date is closing over $100 million in real estate deals.
What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
The movement of the financial markets can seem mysterious. But in looking back, we can see patterns
that consistently repeat themselves. As an investor, how should you respond to these market cycles?
It’s useful to know that market cycles are connected to business cycles — the overall movement of the
economy. In fact, a market cycle frequently anticipates the business cycle, so stock prices may rise or fall
several months before the economy reaches high or low points.
When you invest, though, it may not be a good idea to try to time the market, making buy or sell
decisions based on where you think the market cycle is at any given time. Such a strategy could lead to
mistakes, such as selling quality investments to avoid losses.
Instead, try to stick to a long-term strategy that’s based on your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon and
need for liquidity. And try to diversify your portfolio among a range of investments. While diversification
can’t prevent all losses, it can help reduce the impact of market volatility.
Rather than getting stuck in a cycle, follow your own path toward achieving your most important
financial objectives.
