👏 We’re so proud of our very own Dany Martin for being featured in InvestmentNews’ Independence Stories series!

In the article, Dany shares what it was like to leave a major bank and build an independent firm focused on doing what’s best for clients. The practice has grown to over $500 million in assets under management with a 10-person team and a strong culture of service, trust, and innovation.

A big part of that success has come from our amazing partnership with RFG Advisory, who’ve supported us every step of the way on this journey to independence.

Dany talks about:
✅ Making the leap with confidence
✅ Building a brand that reflects who we truly are
✅ Launching our athlete division and the StrongHer Money initiative
✅ And delivering real value to clients every day

📣 Hometown Hero Alert!

Sam Burns is absolutely crushing it at the U.S. Open, sizzling with a 5‑under 65 to take the 36‑hole lead at historic Oakmont!

🌟 That’s 3‑under overall, putting him 1 shot ahead of J.J. Spaun and two ahead of Viktor Hovland.

What’s especially thrilling? He was one of only three players under par on a brutal, lightning‑delayed Friday — and is one of two hometown natives from our area still in the tournament!

Phillip Barbaree made a par on the 18th to make the cut and play the weekend!

Let’s rally behind Sam as he fights for his first major. ⛳🇺🇸 And PB for a life changing tournament!

📌 Share this post, drop a 👍, and wish Sam luck as he chases history this weekend!
