Lex interviews David Snider - founder and CEO of Harness Wealth. David shares his extensive fintech journey, including his pivotal role at Compass, a real estate technology firm. He discusses the challenges of aligning agents with new technology and the evolution of Compass's business model to empower agents with better tools and incentives. Transitioning to Harness Wealth, David explains his vision to enhance tax advisory services through a modern platform, addressing complex financial needs. The episode underscores the importance of innovation and human expertise in fintech and real estate. Notable discussion points: Empowering Advisors in Complex Industries: David Snider has built platforms that enhance human advisors rather than replace them—first in real estate with Compass - a technology-powered real estate brokerage, now in tax with Harness Wealth. In industries with high complexity and large transaction sizes, like wealth management and real estate, human expertise remains essential. His approach emphasizes that technology should enable, not displace, trusted advisors. Compass Pivoted to Power Top Agents: Compass began with a plan to disrupt real estate agents but pivoted to support top performers with better tech and economics. This shift—paired with smart execution—enabled rapid growth and market leadership by focusing on high-value agents and transactions, rather than cutting them out of the process. Harness Wealth Modernizes Complex Tax Advisory: Harness Wealth applies a Compass-like model to tax, serving clients with equity comp, crypto, and private investments by connecting them to top advisors through a modern, tech-enabled experience. The platform improves both advisor workflows and client usability, targeting a large, underserved market that DIY tools can't effectively serve. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Fintech, Harness Wealth, Compass, AI, RealEstate, Platform-As-A-Service, Advisory, Data, Tax, WealthTech, TaxTech, CryptoTax, PersonalFinance, FinancialAdvisors ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

The Big Themes:Rapid Evolution in Enterprise AI & Cloud Technologies: The pace of AI-driven change in enterprise software is accelerating, making it essential for companies to keep up with frequent updates and enhancements. Major vendors like SAP, Workday, and Oracle are rapidly evolving their AI capabilities, offering new tools and features to meet growing business demands. Companies that fail to adapt risk falling behind as competitors leverage AI for efficiency and innovation.The Databricks Breakup Prediction Example: A compelling illustration of AI's potential came from Databricks' origin story: an attempt to predict relationship breakups based on digital footprints. There's a fundamental AI challenge — single-source data (e.g. judging only by a single social media page in the breakup predication example) is insufficient for accurate predictions. Instead, AI requires comprehensive, multi-source data aggregation to generate meaningful insights. This principle is now applied in enterprise software.The Growing Importance of AI-Powered Business Suites: A key takeaway from recent developments is the increasing importance of AI-first, suite-first strategies. SAP, Workday, and Oracle are all prioritizing integrated AI across their application ecosystems, making AI a core component rather than a peripheral feature. This shift reflects growing customer demand for intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and enhanced decision-making across business functions.

Dr. Julie Schulz, VP of product at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, a company that helps health plans manage their laboratory spend and benefits by contracting with labs and analyzing lab data.  Lab tests are important for identifying the right patients for GLP-1 drugs and assessing their cardiometabolic health. While GLP-1 drugs were initially developed for diabetes they have been found to have broader benefits in treating conditions like obesity, heart disease, and kidney disease.  Avalon's real-time access to lab data can help health plans and providers better identify appropriate patients for GLP-1 drugs and address health equity and access issues. Julie explains, "Labs are increasingly looking at biomarkers that provide an overall sense of patient health. Molecular diagnostics, including genetic testing, is on the upswing. Understanding the complexities of that testing and the clinical decisions that come from it is more and more important for health plan employers in the broader healthcare ecosystem." "So GLP-1 drugs were initially indicated for diabetes and help patients who struggle to control their diabetes with other medications to help bring down their hemoglobin A1c. But we found they have a much broader effect on the entire cardio kidney metabolic syndrome. Increasingly, clinicians in the American Heart Association are recognizing that cardiorenal metabolic syndrome is a collection of related disorders that involve cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, liver disease, and others as well. What's interesting about GLP-1s is they've been shown to have an impact on many of these systems." "Now all of those labs can come together and can actually be used to calculate a score of a patient's tenure and 30-year risk of major adverse cardiac events. So, heart attack and stroke, but also heart failure. So, bringing all those things together will inform the patient's broader cardiometabolic health status and can also help start identifying patients who will benefit the most from these drugs." #AvalonHCS #LaboratoryBenefitsManager #HealthPlans #HealthEquity #GLP1 #CardiometabolicDiseases #Obesity #KidneyDisease #HeartDisease avalonhcs.com Listen to the podcast here

Guests: Ryan T. Patrick, Vice President of Adoption, HITRUSTOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-patrick-3699117a/____________________________Hosts: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martin____________________________Episode NotesIn On Location Podcast episode, Sean Martin had a recap conversation with Ryan T. Patrick, engaging about the pivotal topics surrounding HITRUST and its Collaborate Conference. Ryan Patrick, Director of Corporate Audit and Compliance Operations at HITRUST, provided insightful commentary on HITRUST's mission and its recent initiatives to strengthen cybersecurity and compliance across various sectors. Throughout the episode, Ryan emphasized the significance of HITRUST's annual event, Collaborate. The conference serves as a central hub for customers, assessors, partners, auditors, security, and privacy professionals to share insights and build relationships.One key discussion topic was the evolving concept of continuous assurance. Ryan highlighted how HITRUST is striving to transform annual assessments into a continuous process, enabling organizations to better manage and understand their security posture throughout the year. This shift aims to make security and compliance efforts more proactive and less burdensome.Sean and Ryan also touched on the important role of HITRUST's Results Distribution System (RDS). This innovative system allows organizations to receive structured assessment results, which can be integrated seamlessly into GRC platforms like ServiceNow. By utilizing RDS, companies can more effectively compare vendor assessments and manage risk in a streamlined manner.Another significant highlight from the conference was the announcement of HITRUST's first AI security certification. Set to launch in December, this certification will provide a comprehensive framework for securing AI technologies. Ryan explained that this initiative addresses the rising concerns around AI security by focusing on the controls needed to safeguard AI deployments. In addition, the certification will ensure that the underlying infrastructure supporting AI meets high-security standards.Cyber insurance was another critical topic discussed. HITRUST's partnership with leading insurers has led to the creation of a cyber insurance product tailored for HITRUST-certified organizations. This product offers a 25% premium reduction for those who achieve HITRUST certification, potentially leading to lower premiums and higher coverage limits. Ryan noted that the product is designed to reward organizations that have demonstrated robust cybersecurity practices through their HITRUST certification.The conversation wrapped up with a mention of HITRUST's impressive Trust Report statistics. According to Ryan, less than 1% of HITRUST-certified organizations experienced a security breach in the past two years, compared to over 50% of non-certified entities. This stark difference underscores the effectiveness of HITRUST's rigorous assessment and certification process in enhancing organizational security. Ryan's insights during this episode illuminate the critical role HITRUST plays in advancing cybersecurity and compliance.The initiatives discussed not only demonstrate HITRUST's commitment to innovation but also highlight practical steps organizations can take to fortify their security posture and achieve greater assurance in an increasingly interconnected world. This collaborative spirit and dedication to continuous improvement continue to set HITRUST apart as a leader in the field.____________________________This Episode's SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitweb____________________________Follow our HITRUST Collaborate 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/hitrust-collaborate-2024-information-risk-management-and-compliance-event-coverage-frisco-texasBe sure to share and subscribe!____________________________ResourcesLearn more about HITRUST Collaborate 2024 and register for the conference: https://itspm.ag/hitrusmxayLearn more about and hear more stories from HITRUST: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/hitrust____________________________Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-cybersecurity-society-humanity-conference-and-event-coverageTo see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastTo see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWant to tell your Brand Story as part of our event coverage?Learn More
