Everything is designed to help you leave focused, motivated, and ready to grow.
One of the things that makes The Summit 2026 special is the people you’ll learn from — and we’re excited to officially introduce our featured speaker, Christopher Gandy, LACP; Founder of The Legacy Wealth Group LLC/ President of NAIFA 2025-2026/ Entrepreneur/ Public Speaker.
Chris brings a powerful mix of real-world experience, leadership, and straight talk that resonates with agents at every stage of their business. He’s energetic, engaging, and incredibly relatable — the kind of speaker who challenges how you think about your business while giving you practical takeaways you can actually use.
A few fun things to know about Chris:
– Former professional basketball player
– National speaker and financial industry leader
– Incoming NAIFA President (2026)
– Known for motivating advisors to believe in what they sell and confidently position themselves as the trusted expert
At The Summit, Chris will focus on building your business with intention, strengthening how you show up for clients, and recognizing opportunities that many agents leave on the table – especially when it comes to fully serving clients and growing long-term success.

Giving Back at Agent Summit 2026
At KSKJ Life, building strong businesses goes hand in hand with serving others. As part of Agent Summit 2026, we’re incorporating a hands-on volunteer initiative in partnership with Ronald McDonald House.
During the Summit, agents will come together to assemble snack and care bags for families staying at the House. It’s a simple but meaningful way to live out our mission — supporting families and strengthening communities.
