We all want our kids to have good character, but we don’t always consider how crucial character 

is to our kids’ future success. In today’s interview, former multi-billion-dollar investment 

manager, Dennis Trittin, helps us connect the dots and find even more motivation for raising kids 

of character.

After over 30 years managing investments and studying successful leaders all over the world, 

Dennis shifted his focus to sharing what he had learned with the next generation. Writing books 

and speaking to students, parents, and educators, Dennis is passionate about inspiring the next 

generation to embrace the kind of character that will help them get jobs, (and not get fired from 

them!) nurture healthy relationships, and live happy, fulfilling lives. Today we draw from his 

book, What I Wish I Knew at 18: Life Lessons for the Road Ahead.
