Guitar Lesson #2

Practicing my homework for the music I asked to learn: “Always remember us this way - Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper”

I am not good yet, and I don’t care. I am doing guitar lessons every Monday for two main reasons:

1 - Always loved to sing since I am a teenager and it has been a while I am not around music and I love it. Music brings emotions to me that I love. My body reacts to it. I cry, I have goosebumps, I can associate music to moments, to people, to myself….. it is beautiful!

2 - I want to stimulate an area of my brain that is not much used. I’ve never been too good with arts, manual work, etc. My talent has always been more around sports, calculus, statistics, etc. It is refreshing see my evolution using the other side and creativity.

If anyone says to you it is too late for ANYTHING, just keep going on your own journey, and be happy finding the best version of yourself. Life is just one. We will not be on the same body next time we come here and we will have to start all from scratch, so how about finding all the cool stuff that we wanna do, wanna be, learn and that makes us happy? 😊

Enjoy this song, with all its failures, I don’t care…. Lol… a special treat to my wife Sarah (she is an AMAZING singer that only I know cause she is shy to sing in public)…. Lol…. Can’t wait to have you singing this with me, babe!

My first life guitar 🎸 lesson with the most amazing and cutest professor in the world bruno⚡️ was AWESOME! 👏 So happy!

History was made and you had to be there to witness it. 🐺🔥

Last week at the Northwestern Mutual Southern Region Regional Meeting, we watched Ana Andrade be recognized as Leader Intern for the entire Southern Region.

Her parents were in the crowd. Members of our district were there. And the room was filled with an entire ecosystem of financial professionals changing the future of financial planning across the nation.

We were there and the energy was unreal.

This moment is a true reflection of discipline, clarity, and belief.

It reminds us what’s possible at Northwestern Mutual when ambition meets opportunity. This is a home built for high achievers, where leadership is earned, growth is real, and doors open.

Ana, you came to win. You led with purpose. And this is only the beginning. 🏆

So proud. So grateful. So inspired. 🤍

I am so incredibly excited to introduce Ludmila!

After nearly 20 years in high-end design and architecture, she is pivoting to a career fueled by a massive new sense of purpose.

She has called the U.S. home for almost 19 years and is now crushing her new career.

We have been friends since we were teenagers, that is nearly 30 years of history and loyalty! I am beyond honored to move from lifelong friend to mentor as she reaches for these new heights.

Whether she is solving Rubik’s cubes in record time or building her future, she is a total powerhouse addition to our Wolfpack! 🐺✨

We are proud that you onboard.

This Monday we are spotlighting a new member of our team 🥳

Giovanni Garcia is taking a powerful leap from the fitness world into financial services, and he’s absolutely crushing it already. His secret? Living by the mantra: “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.”

Just three months into this journey, Giovanni is already making a meaningful impact through education, awareness, and a strong emphasis on mental health and peace of mind.

His drive, discipline, and commitment to growth are exactly what make this work so powerful.

We’re fired up to have this level of dedication and heart in the Wolfpack. 🐺✨

Wishing you a happy holiday season ✨

Our team and I are taking this time to recharge, reflect, and feel deeply grateful for the year we’ve shared together 🤍🎄

Thank you for wonderful year!

What a night. Our holiday party was nothing short of incredible full of laughter, real connection, and moments we’ll carry into the year ahead. 🎄

This past year was one of transformation. We grew, we challenged ourselves, and we showed up for one another in ways that truly mattered. Every step forward was made possible by the people in this room, the Wolves who continue to lead with heart, grit, and purpose.

As we look toward 2026, the vision is clear and the momentum is real. This next chapter is about expansion, alignment, and building something even stronger together.

Here’s to us, the journey behind us, and everything we’re about to create 🐺✨

LET’S GO!!!!!!
