Being a dad isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up - consistently, intentionally, and with heart. It’s about teaching life lessons that don’t always land right away, but stick years later. It’s about cheering from the sidelines, even when no one else notices the effort it took just to be there. It’s about fixing what you can, doing your best with what you know, and learning as you go. And most of all, it’s about loving your family through every season - busy seasons, hard seasons, joyful seasons, and everything in between. Fatherhood isn’t defined by perfection. It’s defined by presence. To all the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and father figures who show up day in and day out, thank you. Your impact often goes unseen in the moment, but it lasts far beyond what you’ll ever realize. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Happy first official day of summer ☀️ Here’s your reminder that the grass can wait. The laundry can wait. The emails can wait. Summer doesn’t last forever - and neither do these moments. So go make memories. Take the kids for ice cream. Visit a local park. Sit outside a little longer than you planned. Watch the sunset without rushing back inside. Because life moves fast… and summer seems to move even faster. The work will still be there tomorrow. The moments you miss won’t be. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Happy Friday. As we head into another summer weekend, it’s worth remembering that some of the most valuable investments we’ll ever make aren’t found in a portfolio or a bank account. They’re investments of time. Time that isn’t earned back or carried over. Time shared with your spouse in the middle of a busy week when you choose to slow down and reconnect. Time spent with your children, where the little moments today become the memories they carry tomorrow. Time with your parents, realizing more and more how precious those conversations really are. Time with friends, where laughter and presence matter far more than any plan or destination. These are the kinds of returns that don’t show up on a statement - but they last far longer than anything money can buy. So as the weekend begins, take a breath, step away from the noise, and invest wisely in the people right in front of you. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

What would you do if you weren’t afraid to make a career change? It’s a question worth sitting with - because for many people, the answer is already there… it’s just been pushed aside by uncertainty, comfort, or the fear of stepping into something new. A lot of people spend years feeling stuck. Not because they lack ability or ambition, but because change feels risky. Familiarity starts to feel safer than possibility, even when it’s no longer fulfilling. But if you look closely at many of the best opportunities in life, they rarely start with perfect timing or complete confidence. They start with curiosity. A conversation. A small decision to explore something different. A willingness to take the next right step, even without having every answer. And over time, those small steps often lead to something far bigger than expected. If you’ve ever wondered what a career with Thrivent looks like - how it works, what the day-to-day feels like, and whether it could be a fit for you - I’d be happy to share my experience and have a real conversation about it. No pressure. Just perspective, honesty, and a chance to explore what might be possible. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

One thing I’ve learned from working with families is that no two stories are ever the same. Different careers. Different income paths. Different goals. Different dreams. Different challenges. Different definitions of what “success” even looks like. Some families are focused on getting started and building a strong foundation. Others are thinking about retirement and how to turn years of work into lasting income. Some are balancing growing kids, mortgages, and everyday expenses, while others are thinking about legacy, generosity, and what they want to leave behind. That’s why there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all financial strategy. What works for one household may not make sense for another. And what matters most to one family may look completely different for someone else sitting across the table. The best plans don’t start with products or solutions - they start with listening. Real conversations. Understanding where someone is today, where they want to go, and what matters most along the way. Because once you understand the story, you can build a plan that actually fits it. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Nobody enjoys talking about life insurance. I get it. It’s not something people look forward to, and it’s rarely an easy or comfortable conversation to start. Most of us would rather focus on day-to-day life than think about the “what ifs.” But every parent understands what sits underneath it all - the deep desire to protect their children no matter what happens. To make sure their family is cared for, supported, and able to move forward even in the face of the unexpected. That’s really what these conversations are about. Not policies or paperwork. Not numbers or technical details. People. The people we love. The people who depend on us every single day. The people we show up for, work for, and plan for without hesitation. When you strip everything else away, it’s not about insurance at all - it’s about responsibility, love, and doing what we can today to protect the people who matter most tomorrow. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

One of the most rewarding parts of my career is watching people grow. Growth doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it’s sitting with a client as they gain clarity and confidence about retirement after years of uncertainty. Sometimes it’s helping a young family take their very first steps toward building a financial foundation they can stand on for decades. And sometimes it’s seeing someone step into a career path they didn’t even know existed - and realizing they’ve found something that truly fits who they are. What makes it meaningful isn’t just the outcomes - it’s the relationships built along the way. Being part of people’s stories during seasons that actually matter. This work goes far beyond numbers and transactions. It’s about trust. It’s about listening. It’s about helping people make decisions that impact their families, their futures, and the legacy they want to leave behind. If you’ve ever thought about a career where relationships matter more than transactions, and purpose carries more weight than quotas, it might be worth a conversation. No pressure - just coffee and a real conversation about what this kind of work can look like. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

Today we celebrate Flag Day and the freedoms we often take for granted. The opportunity to build a business, raise a family, worship freely, serve our communities, and pursue our dreams is not something we should ever overlook. It’s a blessing made possible through the sacrifice, courage, and commitment of generations who came before us. The flag represents more than a symbol - it reflects the values, resilience, and unity that continue to shape our country and our communities today. It’s a reminder that freedom is both a privilege and a responsibility, carried forward by each of us in how we live, lead, and serve. As we go through the day, it’s worth pausing to appreciate the opportunities we have and the people who helped make them possible.

The greatest financial plan in the world can’t replace time. No strategy, savings goal, or investment account can give us more of it. Because the truth is, none of us know how many summers we’ll get with the people we love most - our children, grandchildren, family, and friends. Life moves quickly, and the seasons seem to pass faster every year. That’s why the simple things matter more than we often realize. Taking the trip you’ve been talking about. Showing up for the game. Casting a line and staying out a little longer than planned. Sitting around the campfire until the conversation fades naturally into the night. Putting the phone down so you can actually be there in the moment. These moments don’t always feel significant when they’re happening. They’re not planned or polished or posted. But they’re often the ones that stay with us the longest. Because when everything else fades-the schedule, the stress, the to-do lists-what remains are the memories of being present with the people who matter most. Money can support a life well lived, but it can’t replace time well spent. And the moments you’re building today often become the memories that last a lifetime. 📅 Schedule a meeting: https://calendly.com/ryan-thorpe-thrivent/new-meeting?month=2026-06 📞 Call 920.907.9933 to schedule with Ryan Thorpe 📱 Text 920.383.3133 to start the conversation Let's make the most of the summer season and create a plan that supports your goals, your family, and the causes you care about. #Thrivent #LiveGenerously #ThriventMember #ThriventActionTeam #FaithAndFinance #ChristianFinancialPlanning #FinancialPlanning #FinancialClarity #MoneyManagement #RetirementPlanning #StewardshipMatters #GenerosityInAction #CommunityImpact #CommunityStrong #PlanWithPurpose #WealthWithPurpose #SummerPlanning #MidYearCheckIn #FinancialConfidence #RyanThorpe #LakeFrontGroup #FondDuLac #FondDuLacWI See thrivent.com/social for important disclosure information.

There’s something deeply meaningful about helping people find clarity and purpose in their financial lives. At Thrivent, we’re not just talking about numbers on a page or products and solutions. We’re sitting down with families to help them prepare for retirement with confidence, protect the people they love most, and align their money with the values and causes that matter to them. The work goes far beyond financial decisions—it’s about walking alongside people through life’s biggest moments. A first home. A growing family. A career change. Retirement. Legacy planning. Real conversations that genuinely impact how someone lives today and what they leave behind tomorrow. And for the right person, it’s incredibly rewarding work. If you’ve ever found yourself curious about what a career in financial guidance looks like - how it feels to build your own practice, serve your community, and make a real difference in people’s lives - I’d be happy to connect. No pressure. Just a conversation over coffee to explore whether it’s something worth looking into.

There’s something deeply meaningful about helping people find clarity and purpose in their financial lives. At Thrivent, we’re not just talking about numbers on a page or products and solutions. We’re sitting down with families to help them prepare for retirement with confidence, protect the people they love most, and align their money with the values and causes that matter to them. The work goes far beyond financial decisions—it’s about walking alongside people through life’s biggest moments. A first home. A growing family. A career change. Retirement. Legacy planning. Real conversations that genuinely impact how someone lives today and what they leave behind tomorrow. And for the right person, it’s incredibly rewarding work. If you’ve ever found yourself curious about what a career in financial guidance looks like - how it feels to build your own practice, serve your community, and make a real difference in people’s lives - I’d be happy to connect. No pressure. Just a conversation over coffee to explore whether it’s something worth looking into.
