In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ryan Weaver — a former U.S. Army Black Hawk aviator turned country music artist and vocal advocate for veterans’ causes. Born into a family of eleven in small-town Floral City, Florida, Ryan launched straight into military life after high school, ultimately graduating at the top of his flight class to become a Chief Warrant Officer 3. Ryan served in Iraq in 2003, alongside his brother Aaron, who months later died in action when a medevac Black Hawk was shot down — a loss Ryan calls the turning point in his life. A decade later, his brother-in-law, CW2 Randy Billings, was also killed while piloting a Black Hawk in Afghanistan, making the Weaver family a two-time Gold Star family. After Aaron’s death, Ryan never flew another Black Hawk. Instead, he served as an instructor, helping shape the next generation of Army aviators — and began channeling his grief into his music. Upon retiring from the Army, he moved to Nashville and doubled down on his musical mission. Ryan’s music blends high-energy country storytelling with patriotic fervor. He’s shared stages with legends like Charlie Daniels, performed on the Grand Ole Opry (including a poignant Sept. 11 hometown tribute), and been named the Patriotic Voice of the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) in their Celebrate America campaign. His EP Celebrate America features “Never Forgotten,” a tribute to fallen soldiers, first responders, and his own family’s sacrifices.

Join us in this compelling episode as Lavaisha Davis, Wealth Advisor and Founder at Ell Wess Advisors, invites you to become the Family CEO by building a virtual family office (VFO) to transform income into lasting legacy—no matter your current wealth level. With over 10 years of experience, she shares how she helps high-income earners plug “leaky wealth buckets,” reduce taxes, streamline financial strategy, and preserve wealth across generations through coordinated, strategic planning. Drawing from her own journey—from entrepreneurship and personal tragedy to mastering financial systems—Lavaisha redefines wealth not just as earnings, but as aligned systems that grow, protect, and sustain. She introduces the “Family CEO mindset,” urging listeners to treat their family as its own enterprise where someone leads the vision, secures alignment, and designs the roadmap—ensuring multi-generational wealth instead of depletion. You’ll walk away with:   •   The blueprint for creating a Wealth Command Center that unifies estate planning, tax strategy, asset protection, and more.   •   Practical steps to act intentionally—whether you’re building from scratch or structuring for legacy.   •   A powerful shift in perspective: wealth isn’t just what you earn, but how you preserve, multiply, and pass it on.Take the next step toward legacy-building—subscribe, share, and visit www.verticalmomentumpodcast.com to join our community of leaders committed to generational abundance.To get in touch with Lavaisha click here https://lavaishadavis.com🙏Richard Kaufman And The Vertical Momentum Resiliency Podcast Want To Thank Our Friends Of The ShowDo You Need Amazing Videos Made For Your Business?
