Then & Now
When we first opened our doors, the world looked a little different than today. Sally Ride had just become the first American woman in space. Flashdance – What a Feeling, by Irene Cara was topping the billboard charts. And everyone (including a younger Walter Todd) was lining up to see Return of the Jedi in theatres.
1983 was a foundational year for the connected, technological world we live in today. The World Wide Web TCP Internet Protocol was born on January 1, 1983. Motorola introduced the first retail mobile phone. Our offices were about to change with the launch of first day-to-day PC tools ever: Microsoft Word and Lotus 1-2-3. It was even the debut of Mario & Luigi from Nintendo (whose recent movie topped the box offices in 2023).
The world is ever-changing and our macroeconomic approach to honoring the past and looking forward to the future is more relevant than ever as we continue to build wealth across generations.
