More than Money
April 29, 2026
6PM - 9 PM
What if the most important investments we make in life have nothing to do with money?
When most people hear investment, they think of numbers: Returns. Assets. Growth. But the truth is that the decisions that shape your future are rarely financial alone.
They are found in:
The time you invest in learning
The relationships you choose to build
The communities you contribute to
The vision you hold for your life
More Than Money is an invitation to step into a deeper, more meaningful conversation about what it really means to invest.
