Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever Valentine. I’ll follow you forever to all the places you want to explore and take 100 pictures of you the whole time.

My beautiful wife at our Christmas party, followed by our attempt at a picture with Bellamy 🤣🤣. Thank you for everyone who came and made last night so amazing!

The ride down at 5am
The rush to the start line; the euphoria and energy of the crowd; 6 miles in wondering what I’m doing and wanting to go home; seeing my family for the second wind 9 miles in; calling my wife mid run to see how she’s doing; cussing the hill and crying on the decline. Then the finish. Running for almost 3 hours is an emotional roller coaster but an amazing one.

First big run (8 miles) since London. Training continues for the Nashville half marathon. Swipe to the last pic to see how I really felt at the end 😂😅.

Took the Thames River cruise with Edward Jones and some other advisors tonight. We had such an amazing time! The city is so beautiful from the river.

I’ve followed you around the world and back and it’s always an adventure. I’ve experienced things I never would have on my own. We’ve had ups and downs and loop-die loops but every time we come out the other side smiling. Here’s to many more adventures, years more fun, and being by your side no matter how crazy or how tame our life is. I love you Happy Valentine’s Day.

This has been a physical, mental, and emotional challenge for and I but I’m so excited to say our second air bnb (and our first full remodel) is COMPLETE and OPEN for bookings! It’s been a long 3 months with late nights and a little crying but the results are totally worth it!

Equity markets have staged an impressive rally since the mid-June lows aided by weaker commodity prices, easing inflation expectations, and lower bond yields. With last week's impressive job gains suggesting that the Fed has to stay aggressive in its fight against inflation, further gains might be more difficult to achieve, and markets could be entering a choppy phase in the months ahead. Yet, the worst of the valuation declines might be behind us. We see three potential future paths for the U.S. economy and financial markets and offer our take on the blockbuster July jobs report.
