Community involvement plays a significant role in our LFP culture. For us, it is important that we take care of our communities and do our part to build up those around us. Marketing Director, Mallory Sand says, "I enjoy helping advisors make a difference in their communities and in clients’ lives. We take pride in being advocates for our communities; when advisors become engaged in areas throughout their local markets it brings me much joy. Whether that be through free educational events or through volunteering for non-profits, any way we can give back and make a difference is where I find fulfillment." #LFPWayWednesday
Politics aside, a true mark of leadership is when two opponents can meet beyond their differences and discover common ground. This is a great quote from the article:

My first wife and I raised 3 children, all through college and working in their chosen careers; I have 5 grandchildren. My first wife died of breast cancer. I remarried and now have a blended family. Yes, life happens and I grew from those experiences and now can assist my clients from my experience. I love being a financial advisor and would be glad to visit with you about your goals and concerns." #LFPWayWednesday
