Earlier this month, Sharon, Linda, Katina, and Kristen represented our office at Pinnacle, Edward Jones' annual event that brings together teams from across the firm. It was a meaningful few days of learning, connecting, and hearing how other teams serve their clients and communities.

We're especially proud of Sharon, who was invited to speak on a panel about how our office works, including our approach to Family Tree Pricing and Transfer of Trust. Both reflect something we care about deeply: helping families plan together and preparing the next generation for the responsibility that comes with wealth. It was an honor for her to share that with colleagues across the firm.

Thank you to Penny Pennington, our Managing Partner, for spending time with our team, and to our clients, whose trust makes this work possible. We came home grateful and inspired.

Last week, our team had the honor of attending the Bismarck-Mandan Small Business of the Year awards* ceremony. We didn't take home the award, but it meant a great deal to be recognized alongside so many businesses that are making a real difference in our community. Being in a room full of people who care about serving their customers, supporting their employees, and giving back to Bismarck-Mandan was a good reminder of why we love doing this work here.

Congratulations to Interstate Bearing Systems on winning our category, and to every honoree and winner. Thank you to the Bismarck-Mandan Chamber EDC for hosting the event and for everything you do for local businesses. We're grateful for our clients, our team, and this community, and we're proud to be part of it.

Rising rates have grabbed headlines, but they're only one inning in a much longer game. Easing inflation, healthy consumer spending and growing corporate profits point to an economy that remains on solid footing.

Bond yields recently climbed to their highest levels in decades as investors weighed sticky inflation, booming AI investment and robust economic growth. In this evolving environment, higher interest rates are creating new opportunities in fixed income while shifting market leadership across equities.

The Fed raised interest rates for the first time in three years, as widely expected. While the announcement prompted an initial market reaction, resilient economic growth, strong corporate earnings and continued consumer spending could help support equities, even if interest rates move somewhat higher. Meanwhile, higher short-term bond yields may create new opportunities for investors seeking income.

I was recently featured in a Forbes Expert Panel on early signs of business success that can quietly turn into warning signs. I offered my perspective on something I think gets overlooked in the high-growth years: the difference between a spouse who stays silent and a spouse who is genuinely on board.

Early in building this business, I told my wife I wanted to accomplish in two years what most people take ten years to build. I also told her the only way it would work was if she was fully in it with me, not just tolerating it. Twenty years later, the business has grown, and so has our marriage. We built both together, and I don't take that for granted.

Grateful to have contributed to this Forbes Expert Panel® alongside other business leaders sharing what they've learned. Full article here: https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinesscouncil/2026/08/28/signs-of-early-business-success-that-double-as-possible-warning-signs/
