Why Advisors Need to Be 'Like a Quarterback': Ken Dychtwald by Jane Wollman Rusoff - ThinkAdvisor

Perhaps surprisingly, 43% of participants said leaving a legacy of life lessons and values is more important than a legacy of money or real estate — though, of course, those are significant as well.
The survey was the most recent follow-up to the two firms’ in-depth study of 9,000 people, “The Four Pillars of a New Retirement,” released in August 2020.
