GDS had the honor of hosting three extraordinary leaders who've operated at the highest levels of pressure, purpose, and performance:

🏈➡️🎖️Clint Bruce — Former NFL linebacker and Navy SEAL, who now channels that experience as a motivational speaker and business owner.

🎖️Chris Garcia — 20-year Special Forces (Green Beret) veteran with a career built on discipline, adaptability, and leading under pressure.

🎖️ Conor Donahue — Former SEAL Officer bringing a mission-first mindset to leadership and team building.

Together, they shared powerful insights on what separates a good team from an elite one, how to make clear decisions in high-stress moments, and how high achievers can avoid burnout without losing their edge.

A few lines that stuck with us:

"Luck is a marriage of hard work and opportunity. Strive to be elite every day. " — Clint Bruce
"Culture is preached at the top, and built at the bottom." — Chris Garcia
"Authenticity keeps you grounded in reality." — Conor Donahue
"No one gets better by accident." — Clint Bruce

We're walking away with new tools, a new perspective, and a renewed commitment to building something elite. 💪

The speakers were compensated by GDS Wealth Management for participating in this internal team-building event.

If you’re planning to leave Stryker, retire, or move into a new role, your stock options deserve a place on the checklist.

Many employees assume that once options are vested, the decision can wait.

But depending on your award agreements, there may be post-employment deadlines, tax implications, cash flow considerations, and concentration risk to think through before your final day.

Before leaving Stryker, consider reviewing:

• Every outstanding equity award
• Which grants are vested versus unvested
• Any post-employment exercise deadlines
• The tax impact of exercising options
• Whether exercising increases your concentration in company stock
• Your cash flow needs
• Whether this is the right year from a tax standpoint to recognize additional income

Even if the answer is, “I’m not exercising anything,” you’ll know that decision was intentional.

Watch the full episode to learn what to consider before leaving Stryker. https://www.gdswealth.com/learning-center/before-you-leave-stryker-dont-make-this-stock-option-mistake/

Financial stress doesn’t always stay at home.

Your RSUs vested. Shares were withheld for taxes. So why did you still owe more in April?

It’s a question many Stryker employees run into, and the answer usually comes down to one important distinction:

Tax withholding is not the same thing as tax planning.

When your income includes salary, bonuses, RSUs, stock options, spousal income, or investment income, your tax return looks at the full picture, not just one vesting event.

That’s why planning before the year-end can make such a difference.

In this episode, Glen explains why RSU withholding may not be enough and what to consider before your next vesting event.

Good food, great company, and a fun night at the ballpark!

We had such a great time spending the evening with our clients at a Frisco RoughRiders game.

Events like these are one of our favorite opportunities to step outside the office and enjoy time with the people we’re fortunate to serve.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so much fun. Here’s to more nights like this! ⚾️🌭🥂

In our latest episode, Glen breaks down a tax strategy many people have never heard of: NUA, or Net Unrealized Appreciation.

It can be especially important for long-term employees who hold company stock inside their retirement plan, including some Stryker employees.

NUA is not right for everyone, but it is something worth understanding before you retire, leave your company, or roll your 401(k) into an IRA.

Because once certain decisions are made, the opportunity may be gone.

Some of the most meaningful work happens close to home.

We were proud to support Broken Halos Haven and its Fuel the Mission fundraiser, benefiting the organization’s work with young widows and children navigating the loss of a spouse or parent.

Funds raised through Fuel the Mission will help build The Haven, a new space planned for Old Town Lewisville where grieving families can gather, connect, and find community.

At GDS Wealth Management, we’re grateful to call this community home, and we enjoy supporting the local organizations that make it stronger. Broken Halos Haven is creating meaningful connections for families right here in our community, and we’re honored to support their work. 💙
