Congratulations to Clint on his much-deserved retirement. Today has made me reflect: I’ve known Clint since I was a young boy. He reminds me of when I used to get sent out with the crews for acting up in school to show me what real hard work looked like. For those of us in the skilled labor business, his departure represents a loss of invaluable knowledge and dedication that cannot be replaced. A few key points to take from days like today: 1. Learn from Senior Personnel: Engage with those who have experience and soak up as much knowledge as you can. Don’t let your ego get in the way. 2. It's More Than Just a Job: Treat people with humanity, and you’ll be able to support your team beyond the office. Sometime each other is all you have. 3. Invest in Training: emphasis younger personnel through skilled mentors. There is no better way to learn. 4. Provide opportunities for Young People: High school graduates should be eager to embrace skilled trades. They can secure good livelihoods with benefits for their families. While tools may evolve, foundational skills remain essential and the rate for skilled labor is better than what many realize. 5. Support the Industry: Encourage newcomers, even if they join your competitors. Elevating the quality and importance of our skills benefits everyone. And the most important: 6. Promote safety and healthy habits. It’s crucial to foster a healthy lifestyle and prioritize safety to ensure employees enjoy life after retirement. Clint’s legacy will guide us as we carry these lessons forward. #Retirement #SkilledLabor #Mentorship #Legacy #Training #SafetyFirst #SupportTheIndustry #ConstructionLife

Thanksgiving is a valuable opportunity to think back on what I and our GPM team has been able to accomplish this year and reflect on gratitude. Moved to a New Office: We moved from our Farmington Hills location to our beautiful new space in Bloomfield Hills, a huge upgrade for both us and our clients. Estate Distribution: We lost a well-loved client this year, and we are thankful we were able to seamlessly distribute her estate to her children in a tax-efficient and headache-free way to her heirs. Retirement Transition: I helped onboard a wonderful couple as clients earlier this year. He is retiring from one of the Big Three next year, and we created a solid financial plan for them to confidently make the transition to retirement. Family Business: We helped support two business owners in initiating critical conversations with their children about succession planning and their own personal retirement. Life Transitions: We have been walking alongside an older couple during a challenging year, helping them as they sold their home and transitioned to assisted living. Making Connections: We have met some great professionals this year, and we are excited about future client collaborations. These are just some of the interactions I am thankful I was a part of. What are some of your proudest moments from this year? #BeThankful #GiveThanks #Thanksgiving
