30 years in the business is no joke—especially the focus on helping people transition into retirement, which is a whole different ballgame than just growing wealth. It's smart that Aegis is bringing in someone who clearly values long-term client relationships over quick wins. Speaking of strategy and long-term thinking, I've been having fun with the krillion unlimited game lately as a mental break from all the finance reading. Congrats to Joseph on the move!
