Financial stress isn’t just personal—it’s a workplace issue.
At any given time, up to 1 in 3 employees may be struggling with financial stress. The impact? Reduced productivity, higher turnover, and an often-overlooked cost—potentially $1M annually for a 100-person company.
That’s why financial wellness benefits are among the most in-demand offerings today. Supporting your employees' financial well-being doesn’t just help them—it strengthens your business.
Is your company addressing this? Let’s talk.

Special thanks to our guest speaker, Gene Natali, CFA of Troutwood, who shared valuable insights on how athletes can take control of their financial future by creating a financial plan. He emphasized the importance of early planning, smart decision-making, and avoiding common financial pitfalls—critical skills for anyone, but especially for those navigating the unique financial landscape of athletics.
What made this event truly special was the level of engagement from our students. They asked excellent questions, demonstrating a real curiosity about financial planning. Even after the session ended, many stayed behind to continue the conversation—proof of the impact this knowledge had on them.
