Feeling the heat? So are we! It’s the perfect time to take a breather. Find your favorite cool spot—whether it’s by the fan, the AC, or that chilly corner in the office—and join us as we dive into the latest in retirement security. This week, we’re sharing three ways to make 2024 awesome, fresh state metrics, updates from California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Oregon, and Maine, best practices to ease workplace angst, Hot Sauce for the dog days of August 🐕, and, of course, Pix of the Week. Let’s cool down and get started!

Hello Friends! It is Black History Month in the US ♥️. To us, this month is incredibly important. Every year we find the dialogue about our shared history is getting richer. Are there plenty of concerns? Yes, there are. Opportunities to act? Yes, there are. And in the current focus our personal understanding of the ongoing contributions to all that we are together increases, and the world – at least the one close to us – gets better and becomes fuller. #thankyou
