Excited to share that Nate recently passed his Series 66 exam and is now fully licensed as he officially steps into an Associate Advisor role with our team.

Over the past year, Nate has spent countless hours studying and preparing for his licensing exams while continuing to be involved behind the scenes with our team and practice. With this milestone now complete, clients will begin seeing Nate more involved in meeting preparation, analyses, client support, and sitting in on meetings as he continues growing into his new role.

Spent Monday out in Montvale, NJ speaking to another great group of advisors.

One of the biggest topics we discussed was the impact that a true fee-based financial planning relationship can have, both for clients and for the long-term health of an advisory practice.

At the end of the day, financial planning should be about more than just products or investments. It’s about taking the time to truly understand someone’s goals, values, priorities, concerns, and what financial freedom looks like for them personally. Then building a roadmap designed to help align their finances with the life they want to live.

That level of planning takes time. It takes systems, processes, and ongoing conversations. But I believe it also creates deeper relationships, stronger trust, and ultimately allows advisors to serve clients at a higher level.

From the business side, I talked a lot about how leading with advice and consistently putting clients first tends to create stronger long-term practices as well. We spent time discussing everything from our client meeting process, to the systems and workflows my team uses behind the scenes, to building the right team and infrastructure to continue growing while still delivering a high level of service.

Over time, I believe that approach helps create the type of practice built on relationships, ongoing engagement, and intentional growth, not just transactions.

Those conversations are always energizing for me because I genuinely believe this profession can make a meaningful impact when done the right way.

Really cool to see the impact our clients made in 2025 by utilizing Thrivent’s generosity programs.

These numbers come from clients directing Choice Dollars, using Action Teams, and giving back through the events we’ve hosted—it adds up fast!

This is a big part of why I chose to build my practice at Thrivent. Helping people be generous and make an impact is just as important as anything else we do.

**Numbers exclude individual charitable giving and any charitable planning we’ve helped facilitate. See thrivent.com/social for disclosures.

Quick trip to Wi******er, VA this week to speak to a great group of advisors. It’s always a blast getting to check out a new place while reconnecting with friends and making some new ones.

One of the things I talked about was how none of this happened overnight. Building a business takes years of consistency, a lot of trial and error, and a willingness to invest in people, systems, and processes long before it feels comfortable.

For me, the goal was never just growth for the sake of growth. It was about creating capacity. Capacity to better serve clients. Capacity to build a stronger team. And most importantly, capacity to spend more time with the people that matter most.

Pretty fitting that my family was on the screen behind me while sharing that message, because they’re the reason behind everything I do.

Always grateful for the opportunity to share my journey in hopes that it can help other advisors. If it helps even one person grow their practice while better serving their clients and creating more time for their family, there aren’t many things that get me more fired up.

Miss Weber’s 1st grade class at Toledo Christian recently participated in a Thrivent Action Team! While learning about generosity, the students had the chance to give back by packing bags for kids at Mosaic Ministries in Toledo—turning a lesson into real impact.

Please join us in congratulating Nate on his recent graduation from Bowling Green State University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a specialization in Finance and Applied Economics. Nate achieved an impressive 3.74 cumulative GPA, earning the prestigious distinction of graduating cm laude — a well-deserved accomplishment.

Balancing academics while interning and passing his Life & Health, SIE, and Series 7 exams is no small feat, and this achievement speaks to Nate’s dedication, discipline, and commitment to continuous growth.

We are proud to have Nate as part of our team and are excited to see all he will accomplish in this next chapter. Now that Nate has graduated, he will be joining the practice full-time.

It’s natural to want to invest more later once you feel you have more financial freedom—but this example shows how time can make a meaningful difference in the end result.

Investor A stopped contributing after 10 years, yet still ended with more than Investor B, who invested three times as much over a longer period. The difference comes down to one key factor: time in the market.

When investments have more time, compounding can build on itself and begin to do more of the work—even if contributions stop earlier. Starting earlier can also reduce how much you may need to contribute over time, as growth has more opportunity to build on itself rather than relying solely on higher future contributions.

That’s why it can be important to start early and stay consistent rather than trying to make up for lost time later.

Time in the market can matter more than timing the market.

It’s not about timing the market, it’s about time IN the market.

It’s natural to want to react to what the market is doing in the short term. Headlines change daily, markets move up and down, and trying to time the “right” moment to invest can feel appealing. The challenge is that short‑term market movements are unpredictable and difficult to consistently get right.

What can be controlled is how long you stay invested and how consistently you participate. Compound interest allows your money to earn growth not only on your original investment, but also on prior growth. When investments are given more time, compounding can build on itself and begin to do more of the work—helping steady contributions grow over time.

Rather than focusing on jumping in and out of the market, staying invested through market cycles can help drive better long-term results. Time can allow compounding growth to unfold, even when progress doesn’t happen evenly year to year. Staying patient and consistent can matter just as much as the rate of return itself.

That’s why, for many investors, time in the market can matter more than trying to time the market.
