Earlier this month, Troy Garcia hosted a retirement planning webinar for Publix associates who are preparing for one of life's most important transitions.

The session focused on education, planning, and helping attendees gain a clearer understanding of the financial decisions that often accompany retirement. Through conversations like these, our goal is to provide resources and guidance that empower individuals to make informed choices about their financial future.

Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged in the discussion. We are grateful for the opportunity to assist Publix associates and their families as they plan for their financial future.

If retirement planning is something you'd like to discuss, or if you have questions about your own situation, feel free to give our team a call at 863-616-6030.

This past week, Chris Hammond had the opportunity to attend LPL Financial’s Business Leaders Forum at The Wharton School in Philadelphia.

It was a great experience connecting with advisors and industry leaders from across the country and diving into topics like leadership, innovation, AI, and long-term growth strategies with the distinguished faculty at Wharton. Chris came away with some valuable ideas and fresh perspectives that will help us continue to better serve our clients.

We’re grateful to LPL Financial for investing in programs like this that support advisor growth and help us deliver even greater value to our clients.
