About Cale Yost, MSPFP, CFP®, RICP®

Cale Yost is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) Professional and an investment advisor at Blazing Star Financial. He specializes in tax planning and retirement income strategies. He joined the firm in 2023 and became a full partner a few months later.

His journey, beginning in a small town in Western Kansas and leading him to Lawrence in 2009, is marked by a deep appreciation for community—a value he brings to his work daily.

Cale served over 19 years in the Kansas Air National Guard. As he prepared to transition out of service, a meeting with a financial professional sparked a newfound passion. This led him to pursue a Masters of Science in Personal Financial Planning at Kansas State University. He also earned the prestigious Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation.

Cale is a devoted family man, cherishing moments with his wife and three daughters. Watching them grow into strong, capable women keeps him grounded and fills him with pride. Whether it's driving the family minivan to various activities or enjoying simple moments at home, family life is central to Cale's world.

A shared vision for inclusive and approachable financial planning sparked Cale's collaboration with Bonnie. He was drawn to her commitment to meeting clients where they are and demystifying the financial planning process.

Professionally, Cale focuses on making retirement planning accessible to everyone. He believes in empowering clients with affordable, impactful solutions and helping them find their financial Zen.
