Inflation Demystified: Inflation affects every part of our economy. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Demand-Pull: Think booming demand during holidays or shortages of hot items.

Cost-Push: Supply chain delays and energy price hikes often trigger this.

Built-In: A ripple effect when wages and prices increase together.

Exercising Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) near year-end could trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

Mi gente, ¡Ustedes!

Last week, we hosted our Gateway to Success event at our Glastonbury office to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Eight Latino professionals shared the journeys behind their careers with fellow business leaders and students from ALPFA University of Connecticut

Their stories were a powerful reminder that our backgrounds are a source of strength and that there’s no limit to how far we can go.

Watching students connect with people who’ve walked a similar path reminded me how special our community is and how important it is for us to share our experiences.

A huge thank you to all our panelists:

Margarita Baquero Bárcenas

Miguel Correa, CPA

Alberto Cortes

Maryann Cruz

Alfredo G. Fernández

Moraima Gutierrez

John Carlos Machado II

As Héctor Lavoe sang:

Lo más grande de este mundo (The greatest thing in this world)

Siempre me hacen sentir (You always make me feel)

Un orgullo profundo ( A deep pride)

That pride is exactly what filled the room that night.

Hasta la próxima!
