In this episode of SoundBits, Kim Groshek chats with Joseph Lombardi, founder of Iron Hawk Financial and relative of NFL legend Vince Lombardi, about faith, family, and financial legacy. Joseph shares how early hardships, personal loss, and responsibility shaped his mission to protect families financially. He and Kim explore “the pause”—a moment of reflection and realignment—and how putting God first brings balance across the Five Pillars of Wealth: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial. It’s a powerful conversation about what truly matters: faith, time, and how we show up for those we love.
