⏳ Just wrapped up a great few days in San Diego at LPL Focus 2026.

One of the things I value most about conferences like Focus is the opportunity to step outside the day-to-day, reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and hear how advisors and industry leaders are thinking about the future of our profession.

There were plenty of conversations around AI and technology, practice growth, and creating an even better client experience. But one theme stood out to me: technology is most valuable when it gives us more time to focus on the work that matters most: listening, planning, building relationships, and being there for our clients.

I continue to be impressed by LPL’s commitment to innovation, its vision for the future of our industry, and the ongoing opportunities it provides advisors to learn, grow, and stay ahead of an ever-changing landscape. The quality of the sessions, presenters, and motivational speakers at Focus is a great example of that commitment to education and professional development.

A special shoutout to Dr. David Kelly of J.P. Morgan for an insightful and engaging perspective on the markets and the economy, definitely one of the highlights of the conference.

I’m heading home with some new ideas, great conversations to continue, and a renewed appreciation for the people in this industry who are always looking for ways to learn, evolve, and get better.
Now comes the important part: taking the best ideas from the week and putting them into practice.

Great seeing so many familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones along the way. Until next time, San Diego! ✈️📝📈⛵

Honored to attend yesterday’s celebration (April 21, 2026), hosted by the Federation of Italian American Organizations of Queens, Inc., recognizing their Woman of the Year, Irsi Rodriguez-Rosa. It was an inspiring evening filled with pride, tradition, and a true appreciation for leadership, service, and community impact.

The biggest takeaway of the night was clear: when strong women lead with purpose, entire communities grow stronger. The room was filled with accomplished professionals, civic leaders, and families united by shared values of heritage, hard work, and giving back.

Congratulations to this year’s honoree and to everyone who made the evening so memorable. Events like this remind us of the importance of celebrating excellence, preserving culture, and supporting the next generation of leaders.

👩‍💼📚 Happy Women's History Month! As we celebrate this special month, let's take a moment to reflect on the immense contributions women have made to the world of finance, business, and beyond.

Pioneering Women in Finance: Women like Abigail Adams, who, back in the 18th century, wisely invested in government bonds, and Hetty Green, who became one of the richest women in the world in the late 19th century. They paved the way for future generations of women in finance.

Present Day Leaders: Today, we have extraordinary women leading financial institutions, government bodies, and startups, demonstrating that finance is no longer a 'men's club'. Women like Janet Yellen, the first woman to chair the Federal Reserve and former U.S. Treasury Secretary, and Mary Barra, the CEO of General Motors, are leading the way.

Empowering the Next Generation: As we forge ahead, let's continue to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and pave the way for the next generation of women in finance.

This month, we salute the women who've bravely charted their own path in finance and have inspired countless others to do the same. 💪💼

Remember, every investment we make today can build a stronger financial future for all women tomorrow.
