I shared this with every recent college graduate I know.

It's a great reminder that your GPA isn't what will ultimately define your career—your attitude, initiative, and ability to learn will take you much further. 

You may need to create a free account to read it, but it's worth it. Highly recommend giving it a read and sharing it with a graduate in your life. 🎓📈

College coddling ends in the real world.

Most parents think the last tuition check means game over for college. The data says it's halftime.

50 percent of parents with adult children still provide regular financial support, spending $1,474 a month to do so. That's more than twice what they're putting toward their own retirement.

Here's what "just helping out a little" actually looks like:

✅ 75 percent of parents aged 45+ are financially supporting at least one adult child, even though over half of those children can meet their own basic needs, according to a 2025 AARP survey.

✅ 42 percent of supporting parents report financial stress. 9 percent have retired early because of it.

✅ 47 percent say they've sacrificed their own financial position for the sake of their kids.

✅ 18 percent say the support could continue indefinitely. They don't see an end in sight.

This isn't about being less generous. It's about being intentional.

Whether your kid just graduated, graduated five years ago, or is still in school, the question is the same: Is your support happening by design or by default?

That's worth a conversation.

Proof that behind every great advisor is an even better administrative assistant, ours just happens to be my wife.

She retired from her career to help my daughter and I build our financial advisory business and hasn’t looked back.

Organized, dependable, and always willing to help, she’s made this a true family business and an absolute joy to run. 💙

💙 Full-circle moment 💙
�🦁 Returning to Ursuline Academy of New Orleans—the oldest all-girls school in the nation—for career day was incredibly meaningful. When I was their age, I had no idea I’d become a financial advisor. I explored different industries, asked questions, changed directions—and embraced the journey. Seeing former classmates now teaching, spotting my high school golf photo still hanging in the gym, and talking with students curious about finance (and those who hadn’t considered it yet) reminded me how powerful exposure really is.

U.S. stocks slipped in Q1 as AI disruption fears and Middle East tensions rattled investors. The S&P 500 fell 4.63%, the Nasdaq dropped 7.11%, and the Dow lost 3.58% — though six of eleven S&P 500 sectors still finished in the green, led by Energy's standout 37.91% gain. As the weather warms up and spring gets us outside, it turns out Americans are right there with you — over 181 million U.S. residents participated in outdoor recreation in 2024. Check out this month's by-the-numbers for more on the outdoor recreation economy.

Stocks fell in the first quarter amid concerns that artificial intelligence (AI) could disrupt certain industries and geopolitical issues that unsettled investors.
