We’re proud to share that Taylor Wong has been recognized as 2025 Best-In-State Top Security Professionals in Hawaii and featured in Forbes for his article, “From Kitchen To Client: Why Listening Outshines Credentials.” What began as a dream of becoming a chef turned into an unexpected 15-year career in wealth management. After years of long hours in restaurant kitchens and running his own business, Taylor found himself at a crossroads—22 years old, with a young family and little financial stability. A chance meeting with a financial advisor opened the door to a new path. Though he lacked the traditional résumé or pedigree of the financial industry, he brought with him a rare combination of grit, humility, and an instinct for listening—skills honed in the high-pressure world of hospitality.

Retirement isn’t just about leaving the workforce, it’s about helping to ensure your lifestyle and confidence in your investments last as long as you do. Today, the average American retires around age 64, while life expectancy reaches about 84. That’s 20+ years of income you’ll need to fund after your final paycheck. Yet, Social Security replaces only around 40% of pre-retirement income on average. The rest must come from personal savings, investments, and employer-sponsored plans.
Why Retirement Planning Matters

Growing your business often relies both on your leadership skills and the ability of your employees to carry out your plans. As your business grows, it can become unwieldy to do everything by yourself. Having a strategy to keep your most important employees focused on achieving your goals could help you secure your business’ success and avoid losing your best talent to other companies or, worse, competitors. But how can you find ways to keep your most important employees engaged and motivated without breaking your own bank? The answer may lie in vesting strategies.
