Today, we heard from guest speaker Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Trenton Murfin.

He shared his path from early success in high school to finding his place in financial planning, including his desire to leave the area and how he ultimately returned to Quincy to build his career.

What stood out was how he framed his work. Not simply as investing money, but helping people make decisions. That people first approach is what builds trust and sets him apart.

He also spoke about what it took to get started. Knocking on thousands of doors, meeting people face to face, and building his business from the ground up.

Trenton shared his perspective on AI in finance and in life, emphasizing that while tools evolve, relationships and trust remain at the center.

He closed by leading the class in a discussion on defining success and challenged students to find and associate with successful people now, not later.
