I had a great time last week at the Working Women Of Tampa Bay Expo!

Our keynote speaker, Gretcher Bauer shared her origin story of BSWANKY. She had a vision of creating handbags that are carefully handcrafted and are works of art. As a BSwanky collector, I had to bring along my work of art (you’ll see it in the photos!) It was great to celebrate her success and see her new creations.

Congratulations to Misty Jones, the winner of the “Financial Peace of Mind” raffle. I hope you enjoy your prize.

Thank you to Jacoby for helping me at the booth and everyone who stopped by to say “Hi!”

Great start to the day at Breakfast with the Bucs, hosted by the Westshore Alliance at the Buccaneers' training facility.

We heard from Brian Ford, COO of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who shared insights about the upcoming season and the Bucs' impact in our local community. Afterward, we toured the training facility and got a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build and support a winning team.

Thank you to the Westshore Alliance and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a great event. Looking forward to cheering on the Bucs in a few weeks and hearing, "Fire the Cannons!" 🏴‍☠️

Earlier this month, Joe Nadglowski and Lori Lang Nadglowski attended the Tampa Gator Club's Scholarship Awards banquet at the Tampa Club. The Club awarded scholarships to eight outstanding local students who will attend the University of Florida this fall.

The evening featured an inspiring message from C.J. Johnson, Communications Manager at Tampa International Airport and the creative mind behind Phoebe the Flamingo. 🦩C.J. encouraged the students to enjoy their college experience and reminded them that they "Don't need to have their life all figured out".

Laurel Wealth Management was a proud sponsor of this event and supports the Tampa Gator Club's commitment to helping the next generation of Gators. Congratulations to all scholarship recipients! I look forward to seeing the impact you'll make in the upcoming years.

Go Gators! 🐊

The Principal 05+ Team took a break today for some friendly competition at Pin Chasers. Since we're each busy running our own independent practices, we don't get to catch up in person often. It was nice to catch up with everyone and I look forward to our next gathering later this year.

What at great night at the Tampa Club✨

Last week, I hosted "AI Made Easy: Save Time and Simplify Your Day" and the energy in the room made it a special evening.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! I loved seeing so many familiar faces and meeting some new ones.

A special thank you to our speaker Gemma R Fountain, Marketing Professor at Eckerd College and the University of Tampa for sharing practical tips on using AI from managing everyday overwhelm to planning your next vacation.
