    "We've talked about goals-based planning for years. Everybody wants a goal. Everybody has a retirement goal. So, now that we're at a point where 10, 000 people are retiring every day, we've got to figure this out. And technology has to be the enabler and you've got to get working with the right people." - Cheryl Nash

    “We’re trying [to create] a frictionless solution for the clients, and help them actually achieve that retirement that they're on the cusp of, but then also support advisors.” - Steve Gresham
