☀️ Another great Tuesday morning with the Greater Maple Valley Networking Association! 🤝

Today's business spotlight was yours truly — Cristiaan Priebe with Edward Jones — with a timely talk on fixed income and how that space is starting to shift as interest rates rise. 📈 Plenty of great takeaways for anyone keeping an eye on their portfolio or their clients'.

We also passed 2 referrals between members, welcomed 2 guests, and wrapped up another morning of good conversation and real connections. 💼✨

We're a group of local business owners who meet every Tuesday to share referrals, learn from each other, and help our businesses grow.

📍 Nikki's Lounge, Covington
