In this episode, Shawn and Ben Tuscai discuss:

• The evolving role of technology in financial advising
• Generational wealth and family office complexities
• Changing landscape of retirement planning

Key Takeaways:

• Tailoring financial advice requires a balance of structured questions and allowing conversations to develop naturally, ensuring each client’s unique emotional and financial concerns are addressed.
• Financial advisors today are expected to handle a wider range of services, from traditional investment advice to more complex issues like student loan forgiveness or tax planning, due to the increased expectations from clients.
• Managing wealth in family offices involves addressing concerns about wealth transfer across generations, ensuring that education and financial discipline are imparted to younger family members to avoid entitlement.
• The financial planning profession now requires constant adaptation and learning, with changes in tax laws, retirement account regulations, and technology shaping how advisors provide value to clients.

"As technology continues to progress, we're going to see ourselves continue to branch into other areas." — Ben Tuscai
