    (916) 282-4737 Ext 111

    For 2026, we proudly recognize Joel Rodriguez-Tirado, owner of MIH Firm, a financial services company dedicated to helping families create generational wealth through strategic planning. Joel was the very first advertiser to believe in Impact & Influence Magazine, stepping in before there was proof—only vision. Since then, he has become an integral part of the magazine’s growth and presence, representing the kind of partnership and forward-thinking commitment that defines true influence. His work reflects exactly what this recognition stands for: building something that lasts.
