The recent 3Q26 CFO Survey from @DukeU, @RichmondFed, and @AtlantaFed reveals a minor dip in the overall confidence of CFOs concerning both the broader U.S. economy and their own companies. Although larger enterprises reported a welcome boost in optimism, this upward shift was ultimately balanced out by a fading outlook among small and financially constrained firms.

Last week yielded a truly spectacular night at the 2026 National Youth of the Year Celebration. Serving in my capacity as a National Trustee for @BGCA_Clubs (Boys & Girls Clubs of America), I felt immense gratitude for the chance to listen to the compelling stories shared by these phenomenal Club Kids and to honor their success. These finalists serve as a perfect testament to what can be achieved when youth are provided with the necessary support, encouragement, and avenues to succeed. #AmericaNeedsClubKids.
