Roth IRA Signing Day always marks concluding ceremonies for the Fairhaven Summer Internship Program. A special bonus goes to each intern so they can put learning into action by funding their very own Roth IRA. Their summer schedule is chock full. We always start slow by learning to rise from our seats to greet someone with a firm handshake (no joke, that lesson is required on Day One every single summer...stand...make eye contact...and smile, for crying out loud!) From there we progress to learn about small caps, rebalancing, REITs, covered calls, tax-efficiency, high yield bonds, podcasting, mortgages, the 415 limit, etc. They also spend time outside the office on professional Field Trips to visit some of the extended members of the Fairhaven circle; CPA firms, institutional bond shops, ETF powerhouses and the office of the Mayor of the City of Wheaton. We even expose them to attorneys (How many lawyer jokes are there? Actually only three. The rest are all true.) Thank you very much to our enthusiastic partners (and please forgive me if I missed someone)!

As a parent, there are moments that fill your heart with pride and a touch of nostalgia. Today, I experienced one of those moments when I saw my son Jake Childers pop up on my LinkedIn feed, celebrating their internship Blue Trust. Watching them grow, learn, and now step into the professional world is incredibly rewarding. It feels like just yesterday they were taking their first steps, and now they’re making strides in their career. This journey has been filled with countless lessons, both for them and for me. Here are a few reflections: 1.    Embrace Change: Seeing your child transition from the classroom to the workplace is a reminder that change is constant and growth is inevitable. Embrace it with open arms. 2.    Celebrate Small Wins: Every accomplishment, no matter how small, is a step forward. Celebrate these moments to build confidence and momentum. 3.    Mentorship Matters: Encourage them to seek mentors and also be one yourself. Sharing experiences and insights can make a significant difference in their journey. 4.    Stay Curious: The world is evolving rapidly. Encourage them to stay curious and keep learning, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. 5.    Support and Trust: As they embark on their career path, your support and trust in their abilities mean the world to them. Be their biggest cheerleader. To all the parents out there witnessing similar milestones, let’s cherish these moments and continue to guide our children as they make their mark in the world. And to Jake Childers, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Here’s to many more achievements and learning experiences ahead! 🌟 #ProudParent #NextGeneration #InternshipJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #Milestones
