The burden of proof shifts back to AI skeptics. NVIDIA's earnings reinforced that AI demand and spending remain robust, with customer demand continuing to outpace supply and little evidence that the AI investment cycle is nearing an end.

Many people think financial planning means picking investments, but investing is just one piece of a much bigger picture.

A real financial plan starts with your goals:

• Paying for your child's education
• Buying that dream cottage
• Retiring on your terms
• Leaving a legacy

Those goals are supported by a strategy where seven components work together:

✅ Financial management
✅ Asset management
✅ Tax considerations
✅ Retirement planning
✅ Risk management
✅ Estate planning
✅ Business planning

Alignment across these areas is what turns a strategy into a real plan.

Let’s talk about building a plan that puts you in control of your financial life.

It was great to see so many people out for the parade!

We spent some time getting the truck dressed up for the parade, and I have to say, it turned out pretty great. ✨

That said, I don't think anyone was nearly as impressed with the decorations as the kids were with the goodies. 🍬 🍫 😂

Thanks for the waves, smiles, and friendly faces along the route. It was a great way to spend the day and be part of such a fantastic community event.

Hey everyone!

If you didn't make it out to the parade, you may have missed the memo... we've got a jar full of chocolate at the office and a fun little guessing game! 🍫

Stop by during office hours, bring the family, and put your guess in. The person with the closest guess will take home the entire jar of chocolate! We will announce the winner on August 31st.

As a thank you for participating, I'll be making a donation to the Terry Fox Foundation, and Edward Jones will be matching my donation.

It's just a fun way to keep the Heritage Days spirit going a little longer. We'd love to see you!

🎉 Cardston Heritage Days Parade Tomorrow! 🎉

If you're heading out to the parade, keep an eye out for the Edward Jones banners and be sure to give us a wave!

A big shoutout to my wife, Kaylene, for helping me get everything ready, and to my Branch Office Administrator, Dina Henline, and her kids for coming out to help at the parade. Community events like this are always better when great people come together.

If you're looking for the parade route and start time, you can find all the details here:

We've got some fun goodies along the route, and you never know what surprises might come your way. 😉

I'm excited to be participating in the parade for the first time since moving to Cardston and look forward to seeing some friendly and familiar faces along the route.

Have a fantastic Heritage Days, and we'll see you at the parade!

One more milestone in the books.

I recently completed the RSE certification course and passed the exam, a requirement that securities professionals must complete within 30 months of becoming licensed.

I'm especially proud to have completed it in under 8 months and to have earned honours along the way.

As someone who spent years teaching apprentices in a previous career, I've always believed that learning doesn't stop once you've earned a credential. There's always another skill to build, another lesson to learn, and another opportunity to improve. That said, it does feel a little strange being on the other side of a test. 😄

A huge thank you to my wife for picking up the slack while I spent countless evenings and weekends buried in study materials. Your support, patience, and encouragement mean more than I can put into words, and I truly couldn't have done it without you. You're the best. ❤️

Also, after all that work, they still managed to spell my name wrong on the certificate. I guess nobody gets 100%. 😂
