• Matt Ryan (VP of Advanced Sales)
• Lee Revels (Annuity Wholesaler)

A special thank you to our General Agent, Joe Sparacio, whose vision and leadership continue to challenge us to think bigger and serve better.

MDRT Annual Meeting 2026 – Celebrating Leadership on a Global Stage

What an incredible honor to see our General Agent, Joe Sparacio, representing Texas National Financial Group and sharing the stage with some of the industry's most respected leaders from around the world at this year's MDRT Annual Meeting.

Joe participated in a featured panel discussion focused on "Top Strategies to Attract Future MDRT Advisors", sharing insights gained from decades of leadership, advisor development, mentorship, and building organizations centered around purpose, growth, and service.

At TXNFG, we believe the future of our profession depends on developing leaders—not just producers. Joe's participation reflects our commitment to creating an environment where advisors can grow personally, professionally, and financially while making a meaningful difference in the lives of the families they serve.

The discussion aligned perfectly with the mission of the MDRT Center for Field Leadership, which exists to develop leaders who build successful organizations through mentorship, culture, accountability, and servant leadership. Those principles mirror the values we strive to live every day at Texas National Financial Group:

Gratitude. Communication. Transparency.

We are proud to see Joe sharing ideas alongside accomplished leaders from across the globe and helping shape the next generation of MDRT advisors.

Congratulations, Joe, on representing our team, our profession, and the future of advisor leadership so well.

Most people plan for retirement at age 65.

But what if retirement happens at 60?

One of the fastest-growing concerns among financial planners today is the reality that many Americans retire earlier than expected due to health issues, layoffs, or caregiving responsibilities.

The question isn't simply:

"When do you want to retire?"

The better question may be:

"If retirement happened tomorrow, would your plan still work?"

The strongest financial plans aren't built for perfect conditions.

They're built for real life.
