I flew into NYC for 72 hours for the Knicks parade... and it did not disappoint. 🗽🏀
Being born and raised in New York gives you a different kind of pride. It's a city that's constantly reflected in movies, television, history, culture, and some of the world's biggest moments. There's a certain energy that only New York has, and growing up there definitely gives you an ego boost.
Living in Miami for the past nine years has only made me appreciate where I come from even more. New York isn't always as glamorous as people imagine; it teaches resilience, grit, and how to dream big. Those lessons stay with you.
Ironically, my love for basketball didn't start in New York, it started while working with the Miami Heat for four incredible years.
I'm far from a die-hard sports fanatic, but once the Knicks caught fire this season... I proudly jumped on the bandwagon.
The moment they won, less than an hour later I booked my flight.
I knew I wanted to be in the crowd, surrounded by that unmistakable New York energy.
I'm incredibly grateful to be in a season of life where I can make spontaneous trips like that.
Every trip home reminds me why I'm proud of where I come from and why I'm equally proud to help individuals, families, and business owners build financial confidence and long-term security.
New York made me.
And no matter where life takes me...
New York Forever. 🗽💙🧡
