Starting a new career path takes courage. Succeeding in one requires the right foundation of support. Garret Aube credits CFG’s Financial Planning Mastery Program for providing structure, mentorship, and a collaborative community that made the transition both possible and empowering.

Last week in Orlando reminded us why we do what we do.
MassMutual's annual Leaders Conference was a celebration of the people behind the business, the families who cheer them on, and the community that makes it all possible. From standing ovations and unforgettable moments to kids, spouses, and teammates sharing the spotlight, this is what building something meaningful looks like.
Grateful for the leaders, the laughter, and the loved ones who make this journey worth celebrating together.

AmpliFi, our community of female advisors, hosted a full-day workshop designed to challenge perspectives, hold each other accountable, and create momentum for the second half of the year.
From honest conversations about growth to reframing your mindset with Dr. Amber Bartlett, the day was a powerful reminder of what a supportive culture feels like.
Change doesn’t happen by waiting for permission. It happens by building what doesn’t yet exist.
Kerri Melley shares what it’s like to grow in a traditionally male-dominated industry, how she’s helping lower barriers for others, and why her natural strengths have become powerful tools for helping clients feel understood, confident, and supported.
