True Wealth Podcast

In this episode of the True Wealth Podcast, Kevin sits down with Dan and Marie LaRock, co-founders of Rock Ranch, to explore how purpose, faith, and service can come together to create meaningful impact. Their story is a powerful example of what it looks like to live out core values, follow a calling, and serve others in a way that transforms lives.The conversation begins with the origin of Rock Ranch, a nonprofit founded in 2016 with a mission to help individuals grow physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally through horsemanship in a Christ-centered environment. What started as a simple idea—sparked by Marie’s background in speech therapy and her experience volunteering with equine-assisted programs—quickly evolved into something much greater. Despite initial hesitation, a series of moments, including a deeply personal spiritual experience, led Marie to recognize a clear calling. With Dan’s support on the operational and business side, the two stepped into that calling together. Ultimately, this episode illustrates how True Wealth is found not in accumulation, but in purpose, service, and the lives we impact along the way. Rock Ranch stands as a living example of what can happen when faith, passion, and action come together to serve a greater good.  Highlights from the Episode Rock Ranch was founded in 2016 with a mission to develop individuals through horsemanship in a Christ-centered environment. The organization grew from serving 50 people in its first year to nearly 3,500 individuals annually. A defining moment of calling led to the creation of Rock Ranch, highlighting the importance of listening and responding to purpose. Dan and Marie’s partnership thrives on complementary strengths—program development and business strategy. Programs include youth riding lessons, senior engagement, and equine-assisted counseling for emotional and mental health. The organization operates through a combination of program fees and donor support to remain accessible and sustainable. True wealth is demonstrated through service, stewardship, and positively impacting the lives of others. Host: Kevin Engbers CFP®, Wealth Advisor, CEO & Founder Guests: Dan and Marie LaRock, Co-Founders of Rock RanchListen on: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLabQdKOSXuCNiKgVZINvFi8TNaFLBE9sI Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Q2PArlpQZO76D6m260ZOp Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/true-wealth-podcast/id1862811242 Pinnacle Wealth: https://www.pinnaclewealth.com/true-wealth-podcast/
