Key Takeaways

• Adapt to change, but focus on the fundamentals. The AI and advisor technology landscapes are rapidly evolving. Focus on core principles like accurate data, client relationships, and streamlined workflows.

• Organic growth starts with personal branding. Share insights, solve problems, and build a reputation as a thought leader. Authentic content attracts clients and top talent.

• Attract and retain talent by investing in people. Treat your team well, pay them fairly, delegate effectively, and provide a clear mission. The best talent often excels at critical thinking, not just technology.

• AI is commoditizing technical financial knowledge. Advisors must shift their value proposition from "what I know" to "how I manage the relationship" to stay relevant.
