About Robert Lawson

Growing up in eastern Kentucky taught Rob several important lessons: to love his fellow Kentuckians and to have their back. This is demonstrated daily in his support for charitable causes benefitting these communities, his life’s work in financial planning, and the love he has for his family.

Always the ‘steady one’, Rob possesses innate leadership qualities which serve him well as a Wealth Advisor at Thrivent, a Board Member with both the Christian Appalachian Project and Habitat for Humanity of Lexington and coaching of his son’s sporting events. Aside from these important responsibilities, Rob also loves his University of Kentucky Wildcats and has a fondness for things starting with the letter ‘B’: boxing, barbecue, bourbon, and Brittany.

Rob is proud to be a Thrivent financial professional. He provides personalized financial guidance to people at all stages of life. At Thrivent, we view money not as a goal, but as a tool — one that can afford you a life rich in meaning and gratitude. We believe humanity thrives when individuals make the most of all they've been given. He is here to help you do just that.

Team Newsletter

Check out the latest edition of our team’s newsletter here!

One thing we've learned over the years is that there never seems to be enough time during meetings to share everything we'd like. There's always another story, office update, community event, planning idea, or lesson left for "next time." That's exactly why we created this newsletter.

Inside this issue, you'll find:

Updates from around the IWA office
Upcoming events and important planning dates
Ways Thrivent members can make an impact

Whether you're interested in financial planning ideas, community involvement, or simply getting to know our team a little better, we hope you'll find something worthwhile inside.

Thank you for being part of the IWA family. We truly appreciate the trust you've placed in us and look forward to staying connected.

Excited to Share Something New One of the most rewarding parts of my work is the relationships I have the privilege of building with clients and their families. Over the years, I've often found that there are stories, community projects, lessons learned, and office updates that never quite make it into a meeting conversation. That's what inspired our first Inspired Wealth Advisors Newsletter. Inside, you'll find team updates, community impact stories, planning insights, upcoming events, and a few fun surprises along the way. It’s designed to be another touchpoint that helps keep us connected between meetings and gatherings. This is the first of what I hope will become a new tradition, with both a Spring and Fall newsletter each year. Read the newsletter here: https://www.thrivent.com/inspired-wealth-team-newsletter I'd sincerely appreciate it if you'd take a look and let me know what you think. As with anything new, feedback is one of the best ways to make future editions even better. Thank you for being part of the IWA family. ❤️

Learning, Growing, and Bringing New Ideas Home A couple of days away from the office last week left me with a full notebook, a tired brain, and a grateful heart. I recently attended the Growth Minded Advisors Conference, where I had the opportunity to learn from advisors who are passionate about serving families well and building businesses that make a meaningful difference. One idea kept surfacing throughout the conversations: People rarely need more information. They need more clarity, confidence, and accountability. One theme especially stood out: the goal isn't to make planning more complex. The goal is to make complex decisions more understandable. The best advisors aren't necessarily the ones who know the most, but the ones who can help people turn knowledge into action. I came home with new ideas, fresh perspectives, a few challenged assumptions, and an even stronger commitment to continually improving the experience we create for our clients. I'm grateful for the conversations, new friendships, and the opportunity to keep learning. Now it's time to put those ideas to work. ❤️

618 Reasons to Be Proud of This Community When we ask this community to do something good, you never just show up... you overwhelm us with your generosity. Over the past several weeks, together we collected 618 food items through our Better Together: Food Drive for Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). Every can, box, and bag of food represented someone choosing to help a neighbor they may never meet. Yesterday, we had the privilege of seeing that generosity in action during our CAP Volunteer Day. Together, we spent three hours sorting and organizing food collected through CAP's Hunger Walk efforts and learning more about the incredible work CAP has been doing in Appalachia for generations. One quote from a CAP team member especially resonated with us: "When you think of the children receiving school backpacks, seniors enjoying nutritious food, and families gathering around full tables, know that your service is making a meaningful difference in their lives." For everyone who donated food, volunteered their time, or helped spread the word, thank you. We are proud to be part of a community that looks for opportunities to share its blessings with others. A special thank you to Christian Appalachian Project for welcoming us, sharing your story, and providing this volunteer opportunity. If you'd like to learn more about CAP's mission or discover additional ways to volunteer and support their work, we encourage you to visit their website: www.christianapp.org Thank you for helping make our community a little stronger, a little kinder, and a little more generous.
