The Best Investments: Building, Giving, and Living Well
Dear Readers,
April is a month of momentum. The year is no longer new, but the season still feels ripe with possibility. It’s a time when ideas take root, plans shift into action, and we think about the future—what we’re building, where we’re growing, and how we’re investing in what matters most.
They say April showers bring May flowers, but we already saw nature at its finest last month at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, where Belden’s Florist created a striking tropical live wall adorned with graceful white orchids and delicate blue butterflies. It was an enchanting reminder that some things flourish not through luck, but through care, patience, and vision— just like the best investments in life.
Some returns can’t be measured in numbers but in the stories we preserve. Ron Davis, our cover feature, has spent his career capturing extraordinary lives through film. With Lifestory Docs, he transforms personal histories into cinematic documentaries, ensuring that legacies are honored for generations. His work proves that meaningful stories don’t fade with time.
For others, creating a legacy starts with where they plant roots. West Palm Beach is in the midst of a transformation, drawing those who appreciate a lifestyle that blends sophistication with coastal charm. With panoramic waterfront views and thoughtful design, The Berkeley reflects this evolution with a simple truth: where we choose to live shapes how we experience life.
Of course, no foundation is stronger than financial security. Growing up as a first-generation American, Claudia Box saw how financial uncertainty can shape a family’s future. That experience led her to help others navigate wealth-building—not with complicated jargon, but with the understanding that stability isn’t just about numbers. It’s about having choices, opportunities, and peace of mind.
And then there’s the wealth we create beyond ourselves. Jonathan Duerr believes in paying success forward, whether through his work with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or his support for Place of Hope. His dedication to giving back proves that fulfillment isn’t found in what we accumulate, but in what we share.
Whether focusing on home, legacy, or the people around us, the choices we make today shape the lives we lead tomorrow. After all, the greatest returns come not just from what we gain—but from what we give, build, and leave behind.
Wishing you prosperity in every sense of the word,

MILLENNIALS and Money
THE
FINANCIAL GAPS NO ONE TALKS ABOUT
Most millennials are navigating life’s major milestones— careers, families, homeownership—without a solid financial safety net. Studies show that two thirds of millennials don’t have life insurance, leaving their families financially vulnerable if the unexpected happens. Meanwhile, another two thirds have no retirement savings, often putting off long-term planning in favor of immediate expenses.
Many avoid life insurance and retirement savings due to common misconceptions. A major barrier? Cost. More than half of millennials overestimate how expensive life insurance is, assuming it’s unaffordable. But in reality, starting early with a small policy can be an accessible and powerful step toward financial security.
That’s where local experts like Claudia Box come in. A licensed life insurance agent and financial protection strategist, Claudia helps families understand how small financial moves today can create generational wealth for the future. Losing her father at a young age showed her firsthand how financial insecurity can impact a family, shaping her passion for helping others prepare for the unexpected.
“The goal isn’t just to protect what you have today. It’s about building a foundation that lasts for generations.”
With financial uncertainty on the rise, millennials are realizing that wealth isn’t just about how much you earn—it’s about how well you protect and grow what you have. The good news? It’s never too late to start. Here, Claudia shares five key strategies to help millennials build security and long-term stability today.
FIVE WAYS TO BUILD WEALTH AND PROTECT YOUR FUTURE
1. Change Your Money Mindset
Financial security isn’t just for the wealthy—it starts with small, intentional steps. The earlier you begin, the more time your money has to work for you.
2. Use Life Insurance as a Wealth Tool
Life insurance isn’t just about covering funeral expenses; it’s a way to create tax-free, six-figure wealth for your family. Many policies also accumulate cash value that can be used during your lifetime.
3. Prioritize Retirement Savings
Relying on Social Security isn’t a plan. Whether through a 401(k), IRA, or policies that offer living benefits, investing in retirement early allows compound interest to work in your favor.
4. Diversify Your Income
Multiple streams of income—from side businesses to investments—create financial flexibility and long-term security. Certain financial tools, including life insurance policies, can also provide steady cash flow.
5. Budget Smarter, Not Stricter
It’s not about giving up everything you love— it’s about knowing where your money goes. Understanding your needs versus wants allows you to invest in the future without sacrificing the present.
MAKING FINANCIAL SECURITY MORE ACCESSIBLE
Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but small, consistent steps make all the difference. Claudia encourages her clients to focus on protection as much as growth, balancing today’s needs with longterm stability. “The goal isn’t just to protect what you have today,” she says, “it’s about building a foundation that lasts for generations.”
With the right knowledge and planning, millennials can break financial cycles, create lasting security, and ensure their families are protected—starting now.
THE BERKELEY: A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND LUXURY LAKEFRONT RESIDENCE
Setting a New Standard for High-Rise Living in West Palm Beach
ARTICLE BY ARSINE KALOUSTIAN
PHOTOGRAPHY RENDERINGS COURTESY OF THE BERKELEY
In recent years, West Palm Beach has transformed into a premier destination for luxury living. Once a quieter alternative to Palm Beach, the city has emerged as a vibrant hub for highnet-worth residents, top financial firms, and world-class real estate developments.
The skyline tells the story. Luxury home prices have nearly doubled since 2019, fueled by an influx of executives, investors, and developers who see West Palm Beach as the next great luxury market. Major firms have relocated here, billion-dollar projects are reshaping the city, and a thriving cultural scene has taken root.
At the forefront of this evolution is The Berkeley, the first luxury high-rise on the western edge of downtown. Overlooking the tranquil waters of Clear Lake, this new landmark offers an elevated standard of living in West Palm Beach.
REDEFINING LUXURY LIVING
Developed by Al Adelson, the visionary behind The Bristol Palm Beach, in partnership with Sympatico Real Estate, The Berkeley will rise 26 stories over Clear Lake, offering 193 meticulously designed residences. Catering to families and retirees, it features 2- to 5-bedroom layouts ranging from just under 2,000 to nearly 5,000 square feet, with prices starting at $1.9 million.
Each home maximizes space and scenery, boasting West Palm Beach’s largest balconies, Italian Snaidero cabinetry, SubZero and Wolf appliances, and wide-plank white oak flooring. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and imported stone finishes, while a flex room adapts as an office, gym, or lounge.
A PERFECT BALANCE: CITY ENERGY MEETS WATERFRONT SERENITY
The Berkeley offers a rare combination of privacy and connectivity, placing residents close to the best of West Palm Beach:
• Steps from “Wall Street South”, where hedge funds, private equity firms, and major financial institutions now call home
• Minutes from The Square, the city’s premier destination for fine dining, luxury shopping, and social clubs
• Nearby is the Kravis Center, hosting world-class Broadway performances and cultural events
• Effortless travel, with Palm Beach International Airport just 10 minutes away and Brightline’s high-speed rail linking Miami, Orlando, and beyond
A PRIVATE CLUB-STYLE EXPERIENCE
More than just a residence, The Berkeley offers a full-service luxury lifestyle, with amenities designed to rival a five-star resort:
• Two private amenity decks—one dedicated to families, the other an adults-only retreat
• A rooftop infinity-edge pool, with panoramic views of downtown and the waterfront
• A state-of-the-art wellness center, spa, and fitness club
• Private dining and social lounges, ideal for entertaining or unwinding
• Indoor and outdoor dog runs, ensuring every resident—including pets—experiences the highest standard of living
“The city has emerged as a vibrant hub for high-networth residents, top financial firms, and world-class real estate developments.”
WEST PALM BEACH’S RISE AS A LUXURY DESTINATION
West Palm Beach has become a magnet for high-net-worth buyers, investors, and businesses, reshaping its reputation as both an exclusive enclave and financial hub, while Brightline’s expansion has further driven demand, elevating property values and fueling new development.
Now, plans have been approved for a Vanderbilt University business school campus near The Berkeley. This addition will reinforce West Palm Beach as not just a financial powerhouse, but a center for innovation, education, and high-end living.
Mayor Keith James praised The Berkeley’s role in this shift, stating, “The Berkeley will fill a void … and have a widespread impact on the city.”
A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
West Palm Beach is no longer just a coastal retreat—it’s a global luxury destination. The Berkeley embodies this transformation, offering a rare mix of urban sophistication, waterfront tranquility, and unparalleled amenities.
With its unmatched lakefront location, expansive residences, and first-of-its-kind status, The Berkeley is more than just another high-rise—it’s a milestone in the evolution of West Palm Beach.

Built On Faith
Jonathan Duerr is Serving, Inspiring, and Giving Back
For many, success is measured by career achievements, financial milestones, or personal accolades. But for Jonathan Duerr, success is about something deeper—faith, compassion, and the unwavering belief that true wealth is found in the lives we lift up along the way.
As a Senior Sales Executive with ONE Sotheby’s and ALBA Palm Beach, he has made his mark in luxury real estate, but beyond the polished properties and high-stakes negotiations, his true passion lies in serving others. For Jonathan, philanthropy isn’t a side project—it’s part of who he is.
FAITH AS HIS FOUNDATION
Jonathan’s faith is the guiding force behind both his personal and professional life. It’s not just something he turns to in times of need but the foundation of how he approaches every decision, challenge, and opportunity.
That belief is something he shares with his fiancée, Naiomy, who he describes as his rock, his life and faith partner. Together, they embrace a philosophy of Faith, Family, and Philanthropy, recognizing that true success lies not in personal achievements, but in what we do for others.
A LEGACY OF GIVING INSPIRED BY FAMILY
Jonathan’s heart for giving was shaped early on by his parents, Bart and Lee Duerr, who
ARTICLE BY ARSINE KALOUSTIAN
instilled in him the responsibility to serve others. His father, Bart, who passed away in October 2024 after a battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, was his greatest inspiration. A man of unshakable faith and selflessness, Bart spent his final months still attending physical therapy twice a week, church every Sunday, and making weekly visits to the New Smyrna Beach Boys & Girls Club.
“My dad showed me that no matter what life throws at you, you keep your faith, you keep showing up, and you keep giving,” Jonathan reflects. That commitment to service now fuels his own dedication to philanthropy, ensuring that he carries forward his father’s legacy of faith-driven generosity.
FORK CANCER: A MISSION THAT HITS HOME
This year, Jonathan serves as Event Chair for the American Cancer Society’s Fork Cancer, honoring his father’s memory and his sisters still battling cancer. For him, it’s more than an event—it’s a mission
to provide families facing cancer with the resources, support, and hope they need.
He leads fundraising, awareness initiatives, and community outreach, rallying his network to maximize impact. “Cancer doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed—it affects entire families. That’s why this fight is so personal,” he says.
A COMMITMENT TO SERVICE BEYOND ONE CAUSE
While Fork Cancer holds special significance this year, Jonathan remains committed to other causes close to his heart. He continues to support Place of Hope, ensuring foster children have safe, loving homes, and his long-standing work with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has helped raise millions for cancer research and patient support.
Being a top real estate professional and a dedicated philanthropist requires long days and even longer nights, but for Jonathan, his work and mission go hand in hand. “Luckily, I run my own business, so I am able to do both at the same time,” he says.
The legacy he hopes to leave is clear: “That I put others before myself. That I lived a life God has called us to live. That even if I only had an impact on one person, but it truly helped that person, it would be enough.”
As he often reflects:
“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

GREENS INVEST IN YOUR
DANDELION GREENS:
Dandelion greens are a nutritious and easy addition to any meal, perfect for salads or cooked dishes. They are rich in vitamins A, C, K, chlorophyll, and fiber, making them a great choice for digestion and overall health. Their light flavor and texture enhance salads and sandwiches.
BROCCOLI:
Broccoli is often hailed as a nutritional powerhouse, packed with a variety of vitamins and minerals that support overall health. Known for being high in vitamins A, C, and K, it also contains important minerals like potassium, iron, and calcium. In addition, it’s a rich source of beta-carotene, flavonoids, and fiber. Whether raw or cooked, broccoli is an excellent choice for immune system support, making it one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables available.
KALE:
Kale is loaded with essential nutrients such as vitamins C, B6, E, K, and manganese. It contains twice as much selenium as spinach and is an excellent source of calcium. Kale’s unique properties help bind to cholesterol and lower oxalate levels, which promotes calcium absorption and makes it suitable for those prone to kidney stones. Additionally, it provides eye health benefits, thanks to lutein, and its disease-fighting properties make it a great addition to salads, smoothies, and more.

Boost your health by adding a generous serving of fresh greens to your daily diet. While both cooked and raw vegetables offer health benefits, consuming them raw often provides the most nutrients. Raw greens are rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins, helping to lower inflammation and reduce the risk of disease.
ARTICHOKES:
Artichokes are not only delicious but also packed with fiber, which aids in digestion. They are a great source of plant protein, potassium, and antioxidants like polyphenols. Artichokes also provide essential nutrients, including vitamins C, K, folate, magnesium, and B vitamins.
ASPARAGUS:
Asparagus is versatile and can be enjoyed grilled, sautéed, baked, or even raw. Packed with vitamins C, E, B, K, folate, and copper, it’s a great source of fiber. It also helps lower cholesterol and provides a variety of antioxidants that aid in healing. Asparagus is a perfect side dish that complements both light and robustly flavored meals.
SPINACH:
Spinach is a popular green known for its mild flavor and impressive nutritional profile. Rich in vitamins A, C, K, as well as magnesium, potassium, and iron, spinach is great for overall health. It also provides antioxidants that support eye health and includes calcium for stronger bones. However, because spinach has a higher oxalate content, it should be consumed in moderation by those with a history of kidney stones.
BRUSSELS SPROUTS:
Brussels sprouts are a highly nutritious cruciferous vegetable, known for their vitamin C, K, and folate content, as well as carotenoids and fiber. These vegetables can be shaved, sliced, sautéed, boiled, or grilled, offering a range of flavors from mild to bitter, depending on preparation.
From extravagant weddings to private celebrations, we offer concierge-style services to make every event personalized to your vision.

BEYON D TIME
Some gifts last a lifetime, and then there are those that redefine the very meaning of legacy. Filmmaker Ron Davis has created something truly exceptional with Lifestory Docs from Docutainment Films—an exclusive experience that transforms personal histories into heirloom-quality films. This is not just a gift; it is the pinnacle of luxury, an investment in a story that will be told for generations. Davis, an award-winning director known for acclaimed documentaries such as Harry & Snowman and Life in the Doghouse, brings his unparalleled storytelling expertise to those seeking the ultimate in bespoke gift-giving. Lifestory Docs is a full-scale cinematic production—complete with scoring, on-location shooting, and intricate post-production— crafted with the same level of artistry as a feature film. “This is not a simple slideshow or home video montage,” explains Davis. “It is a professionally produced, deeply personal tapestry that captures the essence of a life.”
The Bespoke Luxury of Lifestory Docs
ARTICLE BY ARSINE KALOUSTIAN | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISSY BRAHNEY
One such project was a surprise 60th birthday film for philanthropist Becky Gochman, premiering before 600 guests at a private estate. More than a gift, it was a moment of reflection, a celebration of a life’s journey, and an experience that will be treasured for years to come. Davis’s ability to craft deeply personal yet universally resonant narratives has made Lifestory Docs the ultimate in exclusive gift-giving.
Beyond its luxury, Lifestory Docs is a passion project that fuels Davis’s commitment to documentary filmmaking. Each commissioned film provides vital funding that allows him to pursue independent projects—documentaries that explore untold stories, amplify underrepresented voices, and capture the profound connections that define human experience. These projects often take years to complete, requiring extensive research, travel, and dedication. Lifestory Docs is not just about preserving individual legacies; it ensures that meaningful storytelling continues to thrive, enriching culture and history with every frame.
Despite working with high-profile clients, Davis remains committed to the emotional heart of storytelling. His dedication to capturing human connections elevates Lifestory Docs beyond luxury. “It is an intimate, powerful way to honor the people and moments that matter most,” he says. He and his husband Luis make their home in Wellington, where they share life with their four beloved rescue dogs. It is this balance—between the glamour of cinematic storytelling and the sincerity of human experience—that makes Lifestory Docs so extraordinary.
In an era where stories risk being lost, Ron Davis offers something enduring: a film that captures not just moments, but meaning—a true investment in legacy that will be cherished for generations to come.
