Embark on a journey to financial resilience with Jennifer Johnson of Three Magnolias Financial Advisors in this latest episode.  As we usher in 2024, we're taking a fresh look at New Year's resolutions, not through the typical lens of setting ambitious financial goals, but by examining the common pitfalls that derail our best-laid plans. Jennifer dives deep into why so many resolutions, particularly financial ones, tend to fizzle out, with a staggeringly low success rate of 16-17%. She shares insights on the importance of setting measurable, attainable goals, and how overly ambitious resolutions can set us up for failure. From the desire to pay off a mortgage prematurely to saving for retirement, Jennifer provides practical advice on how to adjust our goals to be more realistic and sustainable. Moreover, she discusses the role of social support in achieving financial objectives, stressing the need for accountability partners and the value of having transparent conversations with those in our social circles.

Now, the real fun begins. The division-leading Thunderbirds are on a quest to earn their first FPHL title since 2019 and the approach Harrison is taking in leading his players includes all of the ingredients necessary to bring a championship back to the Triad. The question becomes, can the recipe become perfected enough over the course of the season?

After 15 seasons as a player professionally in 3 countries, and roughly 25 more years as a coach, Harrison's unique perspective & experience provides substantial value to the Thunderbirds production & development on the ice, yes, but his authenticity & personalit
