Candid Chat with Carrie: Financial Fitness with the Media Alliance of Houston

February 11, 2026. Carrie hosted a Candid Chat seminar for the Media Alliance of Houston at St. Arnold focused on 'Fundamentals of your Financial Future'. The presentation slides are available here.

“The best investment you can make is in yourself. The more you learn, the more you earn.” -Warren Buffett 📚

Some keys we discussed over lunch include: 

💰Eliminate fear and emotion by building confidence

💰Build, review/revise, and trust your plan

💰Create a systematic way to consistently contribute to your financial future (any amount) to capitalize fully on the time value of money

💰Understand what you are investing in and ensure your strategy aligns with your time horizon

The turnout, engagement, and questions were energizing. 👏👏👏

It was my first event with the Media Alliance Houston and the investment made by this organization and its members to turn its mission into action is inspiring: “Dedicated to fostering growth and connection within the advertising community. We offer leadership training, networking events, scholarships, and support through initiatives like the DREAM Fund.”
