What happens to my business if my partner dies?”
It’s a tough question — but as a business owner, it’s one you have to ask. Most people avoid it... until it’s too late.

Here’s the reality:
If your partner passes away, their ownership doesn't disappear — it likely goes to their spouse or family.
Ask yourself:
Do you want to be in business with them?
(I know I don’t.)

That’s where a buy-sell agreement comes in.
It’s a legally binding contract that lays out exactly what happens if one partner dies, becomes disabled, or wants to leave the business. It gives you the right to buy out their share — and ensures their family gets paid fairly.

And the smartest way to fund that buyout?
Life insurance.
It provides the liquidity needed to make the transition smooth, without draining the business or scrambling for cash.
If you're in a partnership and haven't had this conversation yet — it's time.

Your late 20s and early 30s are make-or-break for your finances.
Here’s why this window matters more than you think:

1. Time is your biggest asset.
Start investing early and let compounding do the heavy lifting. Future-you will thank you.

2. Lifestyle creep is real.
More income = more temptation. Avoid spending just to “look” successful. Prioritize what actually matters.

3. Career momentum is peaking.
Promotions, pivots, maybe launching your own thing—use this time to build earning power that lasts.

4. Big life moves, big price tags.
Marriage, home, kids—this is when the big financial decisions hit. Get them right, and you set the tone for decades.

5. Retirement feels far, but it’s not.
Early investing buys you freedom. Wait too long and you’ll be playing catch-up when life’s more expensive.

The takeaway:
Start early. Be intentional. Build with purpose.These years can set you up—or set you back. The choice is yours.

I’m beyond honored to congratulate my boss, business partner, mentor but most importantly one of my best friends on the planet for winning The Saint Clare’s Health William P. Huber Award for Outstanding Community Leadership. I could talk to you about her success as a business owner, her success in raising 4 phenomenal children or how she’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for many different charities. Or I could talk to you about my friend who from the moment I met her and Dave, I was treated like family, the person who not only takes the time to benefit the community but takes the time to mentor younger advisors and makes sure they succeed in their careers, the same woman that knew my family lived on the other side of the country and would invite me to her house for dinner multiple times a week. Her leadership is not only philanthropical but also personal. Christine thank you so much for your trust, your guidance but most importantly thank you for your friendship. Keep the trophy shelf empty,there’s so many more awards to come!

5 years ago today I walked into my first day in the insurance/finance industry with an $80 suit on and a headshot I got using a Groupon. And what a journey it’s been.

While the first two years of my career were forgettable and I did learn some very basic things, The Fortis Agency was where I was able to learn revolutionary financial planning techniques through some of the best advisors this industry has to offer.

Not only has this career changed my life but along the way has created lifelong friendships that I will always cherish.

So to keep a long story short I just want to say if you have supported me in any way these last 5 years thank you from the bottom of my heart and if you haven’t you can start now.

Once you have a kid, it's really important to handle a few key things:

- Sort out your Estate Planning Documents: Get your will/trust and other legal documents sorted. Make sure you decide who will raise your children and who handles medical and financial decisions if you're not around.

- Boost your Life Insurance: Get a solid life insurance policy to protect your family if you're not there.

- Expand your Emergency Fund: Ramp up your savings to cover those surprise costs and have a safety net for your expanding family. Kids definitely mean more expenses.

- Kick off a College Fund/Nest Egg: College isn't cheap and neither is starting a business, whatever path they want to take after they graduate HS, The earlier you start saving, the better!

Financial planning is all about playing the long game.

When you get the hang of it, it really helps you relax and feel more secure. It lets you
use your money like a tool to make your life better and more enjoyable.

So, think of it as a lifelong strategy that, when handled well, opens up a world of comfort and possibilities.

Imagine being able to buy financial freedom in a decade.

· You could choose to buy your dream home
· Pick the perfect town to raise your family
· Take memorable vacations with your kids while they're young
· Help your parents retire comfortably.

These are the dreams driving most people to consistently invest their income.

By investing rather than just saving, you’re boosting your chances of making these dreams a reality.

But here's the thing most folks overlook: the sooner you start, the better your chances of getting there.
