Personal Thoughts
As a mom, I often think about the legacy I’ll leave for my children. What about me will they remember most? My six-year-old recently described me to his classmates by sharing that I’m really good at UNO – yes, the card game!

Although my name won’t ever be found in an UNO hall of fame, I hope that my legacy is centered on excellence – giving everything I can in every instance. I’ve found – time and time again – that my work ethic and can-do attitude are difference makers, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with colleagues who share in a commitment to giving their very best at every turn.

The Role of Your Wealth Equation in Volatile Times

TFW = a + (b1 + b2 ) + (c1 + c2 ) – (t1 + t2 )

Carlson Capital Management CEO & Founder Greg Carlson shares his perspective and CCM’s core areas of focus during this unique time. Through the foundation of CCM’s Wealth Equation© concept, he reminds us that focusing on obtaining long-term goals and managing through volatility with a plan are the keys to eventual success.
