Retirement Consultant
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
Ted Benna is a retirement consultant who spends most of his time reading the Tax Code. His job is as tedious as it sounds, but because Ted stayed with it, he found an obscure change in tax law. Although the new rule was for banks, Ted realized it could also apply to individuals. His hard work led to private retirement accounts—or 401(k)s—that now benefit so many.
Yes, while reading section 401, paragraph (k) of the Internal Revenue Code, Ted Benna revolutionized prospects for millions of Americans facing retirement. He sweated the small stuff.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. An ordinary person who attends to the details can make an extraordinary difference. It's the high calling of our daily work.
"Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him." (Luke 8:18)
