‘THE COUNCIL’ OF QUALIFIED MEN “COUNCIL, noun: an advisory, deliberative, or legislative body of people formally constituted and meeting regularly. COUNSEL, noun: 1. Advice, especially that given, (Formally: 1. in accordance with the rules of convention or etiquette.) QUALIFIED, adjective: 1. Officially recognized as being trained to perform a particular job; certified.” (Oxford Languages) A ‘Council of Qualified Men’ (CQM), is made up of highly experienced, and knowledgeable Men, which is similar to a ‘Council of Qualified Women’ (CQW). Each Council provides its own Specialized Diversity of Professionals, of which, the other could not. A meeting of the Minds between the two Councils, brings insight, and Wisdom, for which, without, they would both be severely lacking. However, Counseling from Qualified Men, is needed, in order to forge a Correct, and Positive future for young men, in order to, Direct and Lead the next generation towards a successful future. Without it, Men are, for the most part, doomed to repeat the failed mistakes of their predecessors, thereby wasting valuable time, and effort on proven failed endeavors of the past, and engaging in ‘HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE’ behavior at an ‘Extremely Higher’ rate than Women in a similar predicament. Irrespective of naysayers, the United States Military, at present, presents structural evidence of the aforementioned Councils via, formal Councils of Men and Women e.g. (Senior/Junior Enlisted & Officers Clubs), and also, Informal Councils of Men, and Woman e.g. (E4 Mafia/Barracks Leaders), on an interpersonal Barracks to Drill Hall level. Case in point, a Man, ‘No matter How Qualified’, could no more walk into a Female Barracks, and Counsel Women on the interpersonal resolution skills needed to mediate female challenges encountered within the Military, and/or Vice Versa. However, an Informal Council of Qualified Women could, and Does, Every Day. The aforementioned was said, to say this. CQM’s, and CQW’s need to be Cultivated, and Directed towards a Positive, and Pre-planned direction that benefits the Whole, or a ‘Rouge Element’ Will eventually Metastasize, and direct their followers towards Chaos. P.S. A Council is only as good as its Structure, and Rules. Because a lack of Valid Structure, and Rules creates a Chaotic Council, … GEN X, Out.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Gladstone Wealth Partners! As we don our green attire and celebrate the luck of the Irish today, we're reminded that success in the world of financial advising isn't just about luck—it's about making strategic choices, especially when it comes to your career path. Many advisors dream of finding their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and for a growing number, that treasure is the autonomy, freedom, and fulfilling client relationships that come with breaking away and going independent. Choosing independence isn't leaving your career to chance; it's taking control, embracing opportunity, and crafting a future where you're the architect of your own destiny. At Gladstone Wealth Partners, we believe in empowering advisors to navigate this journey with the support, technology, and resources needed to thrive. So, this St. Patrick's Day, let's raise a glass, not just to good fortune, but to the bold decisions and hard work that propel us toward our goals. Here's to the advisors who've taken the leap towards independence and those contemplating their next move. May your path be bright and your rewards plentiful.
