This summer, our Richmond office was fortunate to have two outstanding interns join the FGP team, bringing curiosity, dedication, and fresh perspectives to the workplace.

We're proud to recognize:

🎓 Joseph Caro – Christopher Newport University
🎓 Nathan Chatterson – James Madison University

Internships are more than just a learning experience—they're an opportunity to build connections, gain real-world insights, and explore future career paths. Throughout the summer, Joseph and Nathan embraced those opportunities while contributing to our team and culture along the way.

As their internship experience comes to a close, we want to thank them for their hard work and wish them continued success in their academic and professional endeavors. We can't wait to see what they accomplish next!

What happens when you combine an analytical mindset, a love of learning, & a desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives?

For Shilpa Gangisetty, it led her to a career in financial services. & today, we're excited to welcome her to the FGP Collective. 🎉

When reflecting on her journey, Shilpa shared:

"When I first entered this profession, I was looking for a career that combined my analytical mindset and love of learning with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I found exactly that."

What has stood out most to her isn't just the work itself. It's the people behind it.

"Every client conversation is an opportunity to learn someone's story, understand what matters most to them, and help them move forward with greater confidence. I always leave those conversations feeling inspired, knowing that even a small moment of guidance can make a meaningful difference."

That perspective is one we deeply value at FGP. Because behind every financial strategy is a person, a family, a dream, & a story worth understanding.

As she looks ahead, Shilpa is excited to continue learning, building meaningful relationships, & growing her impact. She also shared her gratitude for those who have helped shape her journey:

"I'm deeply grateful to Kelly Pauline, David Watson, and Angela Vahue for consistently investing in my success, sharing their wisdom so generously, and encouraging me every step of the way."

Shilpa, we're excited to have you as part of the Collective & can't wait to see where your journey leads.

Join us in welcoming Shilpa to FGP! 👏

At FGP, there’s no “one type” of person who succeeds here.
Different backgrounds. Different stories. Different career paths.

But the common thread? A desire to grow, become better, & create a real impact in the lives of others.

In this Highlighter Highlight, Jordan Marley shares what truly connects the people across our organization & why advancing human capital starts with the people beside you every day.

Most people expect onboarding to be all business.
But for Sally Myers, Launch Pad became something much bigger: a chance to build community, grow personally, & connect with people across the entire organization.

In this Highlighter Highlight, Sally shares how stepping outside her comfort zone alongside other new hires helped create relationships & confidence that still impact her today.

Because at FGP, development is about more than learning a role. It’s about growing as a person, too.

Watch the video below and tell us: What’s the best onboarding or team experience you’ve ever been part of?

You can feel when a group is ready to build.

This week, our July Launch Pad class came together in Reston to sharpen their vision, strengthen their foundation, & take meaningful steps toward the businesses and careers they want to create.

Launch Pad is about more than learning the tools. It’s about gaining clarity, taking ownership, & building momentum alongside people who are moving forward with you.

Take a moment to connect with Ben Wiechert, Allie Segura, Steven Rodriguez, Carson Cox, Gary Christie, Emma Palmer, Aiden Larson, & Zach Boyles, & get to know the people behind the momentum.

You may be building your own business, but you never have to build it alone.

This group is officially In Motion, & we’re excited to see where they take it from here. 🚀

Five FGP advisors have been named to the Forbes Best-In-State Top Financial Security Professionals list.

That's a pretty cool sentence to write.

Congratulations to:
🏆 Ambrose Carr
🏆 Leonard Raskin
🏆 Angela Vahue
🏆 John Crane
🏆 Ever Gonzalez

The thing we appreciate most isn't the recognition itself.

It's what sits behind it.

Hundreds of conversations. Tough questions. Years of showing up for clients during career changes, market swings, family milestones, business transitions, & everything in between.

Awards make headlines. The daily work rarely does.

We're fortunate to have advisors who continue to earn the trust of the people they serve & who represent our community so well.

Congratulations, Ever, Leonard, Ambrose, John, & Angela. Well deserved.

This is Humanized Finance in action.

Summer spending doesn’t always show up in one big purchase.
Sometimes it’s:
⛽ Higher gas prices
🍔 More food runs with the kids home
🚗 Extra driving & travel

In this Highlighter Highlight, Phil Lassiter shares why small everyday expenses can quietly snowball during the summer months & how making a few intentional adjustments can create meaningful savings over time.

Because smart financial planning isn’t always about massive changes. Sometimes it’s just moving the needle one small step at a time.

Watch the video below & tell us: What’s one small financial habit that’s saved you the most money?

Tonight, millions of people will tune in to watch the U.S. take on Belgium.

For most fans, the focus is on the goals, the saves, & the moments that make headlines.

But the real story started long before kickoff.

It started in training sessions no one watched.
In preparation no one celebrated.
In the countless small decisions that built confidence before the pressure arrived.

Because when the stakes are highest, you don't suddenly become prepared.

You reveal how prepared you already were.

The same is true in life, business, and finances.

The strongest plans aren't built during uncertainty.
The strongest teams aren't built during adversity.
The strongest careers aren't built in a single breakthrough moment.

They're built day by day, conversation by conversation, decision by decision.

That's why we're drawn to events like the World Cup.

They remind us that behind every big moment is a foundation that nobody sees.

So as you watch tonight's match, here's a question:

⚽ What area of your life are you preparing for today that others may not see yet?

Drop your answer below. We'd love to hear it.
