?? What’s your philosophy on money? It’s World Philosophy Day, and we’re diving deep into one of life’s most important (and sometimes tricky) questions: What does financial freedom really mean to you? At Financial Growth Partners, we believe that your financial strategy is more than just numbers—it’s about aligning your money with your purpose. Whether your philosophy is "live for today" or "prepare for tomorrow," we’re here to help you turn those beliefs into action. ? Our take: Great philosophers like Aristotle believed in balance, and we couldn’t agree more. Financial planning is about striking that perfect balance between enjoying life now and securing your future. ?? Your turn: What’s your guiding principle when it comes to money? Is it freedom, security, adventure—or something else? Drop your thoughts in the comments! #WorldPhilosophyDay #FinancialFreedom #PurposeDrivenPlanning #FGPInMotion #FinancialGrowthPartners

Big news at FGP: Matt Tuttle has officially joined the team! ?? When Matt retired from the police department a year ago, he never imagined where life would take him next. Then a conversation in February with Phil Lassiter about his own finances turned into something unexpected: a new career. ???? “I’ve put retirement on hold—somewhat—and stepped into financial planning. This opportunity has opened my eyes to a new journey in life, one where I’m still helping people, but in a completely different capacity,” Matt shared. Matt is already making waves at FGP, focusing on helping current and retired first responders navigate their financial futures. He credits his success to the incredible support system that’s cheered him on every step of the way: ?? Phil Lassiter for his guidance and advice ?? Madison Cappas for encouragement during his L&H exam prep ?? The VB Squad—especially Jonathan Webb(J-Webb) and Frank Tiaba—for their wisdom ?? And, of course, his wife Rebecca and their two boys, Mason and Martin, for believing in him. ?? Matt, we’re thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to see the incredible impact you’ll make on your clients and your peers. ?? ?? To all the difference-makers out there, especially former first responders: Could this be your next chapter? At FGP, we believe it’s never too late to write a new story. Let’s talk. #FinancialPlanning #CareerChange #MakingAnImpact #JoinFGP #FinancialGrowthPartners

Meet Emma Royce—our unstoppable Turkey Trotter who’s got “In Motion” written all over her journey! ??♂? This Thanksgiving, Emma’s lacing up for the Thanksgiving Day 5K in Winchester/Berryville, VA, and she’s got some serious miles and motivation behind her. ?? Here’s what keeps Emma running—and why she’s inspiring us all at FGP to stay in motion, too: ?? 3rd Turkey Trot, 7th 5K, and counting… Emma’s no stranger to the finish line, but her story goes deeper. Despite a tough back injury in high school (and a memorable “dance” lift that didn’t quite go as planned), Emma’s been unstoppable in her journey to prove she could do more than anyone expected. Today, she’s completed multiple 5Ks, 10Ks, 10-milers, and even three half marathons. It’s proof that sometimes, the best motivation comes from within. ?? PR of 27.3 minutes—Emma’s pace is proof of her determination! ?? Running with Heart: Emma’s Trot isn’t just about miles; she’s running to support the WATTS Homeless Shelter, an organization that provides critical support for individuals facing homelessness.
