Three years ago today, I was driving to St. Louis with my cohort as we began our journeys of building our practices and becoming financial advisors. Looking back at this picture, I’m filled with tremendous gratitude for how much life has changed since then.
In just three years, my wife and I have become parents to two beautiful children, grown more involved in our community, and had the opportunity to meet so many incredible people and collaborate in meaningful ways.
None of this happens alone. We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and those who walk alongside us. I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported, encouraged, challenged, motivated, and believed in me along the way. Your impact has meant more than you know.
Helping people has always been a core part of who I am, and I feel fortunate to be able to do that every day in different ways. One thing I’ve come to appreciate in this profession is that every conversation is different. Sometimes, I meet people during some of the best seasons of their lives, and other times, I meet them during their most challenging moments. There’s a real responsibility that comes with that, but my dad has always reminded me of something that sticks with me: pressure is a privilege.
I’m grateful for the journey, the relationships, the lessons, and the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.
Here’s to another great three years and all the growth, opportunities, and meaningful relationships still ahead! 👊🏽
