Some of our staff took a field trip to school this morning!

One of us is an LPGA Professional and the other two are definitely.... not. Such a fun Saturday morning spent at Young Professionals of Knoxville's Golf 101: Learn, Play and Network on the Green - and boy did we! If you move to a new city post-grad and don't know anyone, I recommend getting plugged into as many community groups/things as you can! Don't be afraid of new beginnings, new energy, new surroundings, or new challenges. In my experience, that is when you grow the most.

I had the opportunity to meet Bob Veres at the Insider's Forum! His insights into the financial advisory landscape are inspiring, especially his work with the HIFON group, which brings together operations professionals to share best practices and foster collaboration.

Looking forward to applying what I learned and continuing the conversations!
