Bill Cates loves the way Al comes up with one pithy and thought-provoking line after another.  Here are a few highlights…

  • “Lives are messy to begin with, and families are messy, and people are messy, and their finances don’t have to be.”
  • “We take that responsibility incredibly seriously and we view ourselves as critical infrastructure in families’ lives for them to execute their best lives.”
  • “When someone says, “This is important to me, well, then it becomes important to us.”
  • “We have a healthy paranoia about Artificial Intelligence.”
  • “When it comes to AI, laziness is going to get massively punished and deep thinking is going to become enhanced.”
  • “Human empathy is never replaceable with Artificial Intelligence.”
  • “Words are empty, actions are everything. And when actions are repeated, they telegraph intentions.”
  • “Our job is to show up for every one of the workouts so that the client can lift the trophy. It’s their trophy, we make sure they win it.”

If you’re looking for a great perspective on the financial advisory business and a fun – even entertaining conversation – this episode is for you!
