We're Still Out Here with Samuel Deane | Convos With Friends

In this conversation,  I'm joined by one of my closest friends Samuel Deane. We discuss the evolving landscape of financial planning, emphasizing the importance of an empathetic approach that integrates clients' personal lives with their financial goals, and we contrast this with the future of financial advisory in the age of AI and the necessity for advisors to build trusting relationships with their clients. We also explore the challenges of balancing work and family life, the significance of understanding clients' true desires, and the role of financial advisors as guides in the life planning process.  Takeaways - The importance of building a fan base that benefits both the advisor and the guest. - Integrating work and family life is crucial for personal fulfillment. - An empathetic approach to financial planning can lead to better client outcomes. - Understanding client goals requires asking the right questions. - Life planning is essential for helping clients achieve their true desires. - Investment returns matter, but happiness and fulfillment are paramount. - Financial advisors should focus on building trusting relationships with clients. - The future of financial advisory will involve more life planning and less traditional investment focus. - AI can assist in financial planning, but cannot replace the human touch. - Advisors should not impose their views on clients but guide them to their own conclusions.
