    Iran War, Epstein Files & Tariffs: What Investors Need to Know Right Now
    Apr 6 2026

    In this episode of My Father Said, Robert Templeton takes a solo turn behind the microphone to break down several major events shaping headlines and markets today.

    From rising tensions involving Iran and Israel to the controversy surrounding the Epstein files and a recent Supreme Court ruling on tariffs, Robert explains how global events and political decisions can influence investor sentiment and market volatility.

    More importantly, he reminds listeners of a key principle that experienced investors understand well: markets react to uncertainty, but long-term financial strategies should never be dictated by short-term headlines.

    This episode is a reminder that discipline, patience, and perspective remain essential when navigating volatile markets.

    If Robert Templeton Could Start Over at 20… What Would He Do Differently?
    Mar 16 2026

    What would you change if you could wake up tomorrow as your 20-year-old self—but keep everything you know today?

    In this episode of My Father Said, Robert reflects on his early years—working in a manufacturing plant, living for the weekend, making $200 a week, and having no long-term vision. From there, the conversation shifts to mentorship, mindset, marriage, investing early, discipline, and the power of surrounding yourself with the right influences.

    This isn't a technical finance episode—it's about intentional living.

    • Why mentors matter

    • Why starting early beats starting perfect

    • Why mindset shapes wealth

    • Why time and discipline are your greatest financial allies

    • And why tomorrow is coming whether you prepare for it or not

    A candid, sometimes funny, and occasionally sentimental look at what really builds a meaningful life.
