Two forces are converging right now that will define which advisors become indispensable and which ones become obsolete. One is artificial intelligence. The other is alternative investments. Duncan MacPherson calls them the two AIs, and in this episode, he and Matt Doran break down exactly what each one means for the future of advisor value. Join Duncan MacPherson for a wide-ranging conversation with Matt Doran, Leader of Advanced Planning at &Partners, a rapidly growing wealth management firm supporting over 112 practices and approximately $52 billion in prehire assets. Matt brings more than 20 years of experience as a CFP and holds a master’s in taxation from Villanova University. Both forces are raising the bar for what advisors need to offer, and both are creating a gap between those who see the opportunity and those who don’t. The gap between advisors who get this and those who don’t is only going to widen. This conversation is worth your time. Key highlights include: Why the public markets universe is shrinking and what it means for advisors Positioning alts diagnostically, not prescriptively The shift from COIs to strategic partners Why the process is the offering How liquidity events redefine who’s in the room Why complexity is the greatest fuel for referrals The iceberg problem: being your own best-kept secret Tune in for a rich, substantive conversation on the evolving role of the financial advisor, what fee worthiness really looks like in today’s environment, and how the advisors who will be indispensable tomorrow are positioning themselves right now.

Should you invest money you're saving for a house, or keep it in cash? How does an inherited IRA actually work when it's split between siblings? What should a single person think about differently when planning for retirement? And is SGOV a reasonable place to park your emergency fund? Joe and OG dig in. These aren't questions from this week. They're questions Stackers sent in over a year ago -- and people are still asking every single one of them. What You'll Walk Away WithThe house down payment question: why OG flips it around and asks what happens if the market is down 20% when you need the money -- and how the answer tells you exactly what to doWhy the juice-worth-the-squeeze question matters more than the optimal investment question when your timeline is three to five yearsHow inherited IRAs actually work: the 10-year rule, required minimum distributions, what happens when multiple siblings inherit the same account, and when it might make sense to just pay the tax and be done with itWhy a spouse inheriting an IRA follows completely different rules -- and why you cannot add to an inherited IRA even if you don't have one of your ownThe single person's financial plan: why disability insurance is the most important protection nobody thinks about, why your estate plan needs different beneficiary logic than a married person's, and why being your own backstop means advocating harder for your own incomeMichelle's numbers run through the Rule of 72: why a 35-year-old with $270,000 already saved may be closer to Coast FI than she realizesSGOV as an emergency fund: when treasury ETFs make sense as a cash alternative, when they don't, and why over-optimizing your cash flow can cost you more in overdraft fees than you ever gainedWhy keeping one to two months of expenses in your checking account isn't lazy -- it's a system that protects you from the chaos of a missed transferThe student loan bankruptcy debate: why Ron's argument has more merit than most people admit, and what the real structural problem isThe Edward Jones response: what's actually Joe's job in the headline segment and what belongs to a company's PR departmentWhy This Matters NowGood financial advice doesn't have an expiration date.

A week and a half ago, they walked into a radio station they didn't know existed. This week, they were standing on a stage at the HIVE at Shenandoah University with graduation certificates in their hands, telling a room full of parents and business leaders how the experience changed them. On this follow-up to the June 10th episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael returns to the students of the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber's Arising Leadership Program — this time to find out whether the sessions they thought they were most looking forward to actually were their favorites, and what surprised them along the way. Janet catches up with six of the students at graduation — Amoni Hill, Emily Ramirez, Jack Bruns, Nyomi Coates, Lucy Gluszack (returning as an intern after participating last year), and Cole Stockli — plus parents Whitney and Amy, Carmeuse local leader Logan Thompson, Chamber program director Missy Spielman, and Chamber CEO Cynthia Schneider. You'll hear the two student speeches given that evening — Nyomi quoting Ratatouille on the soul, Amoni honoring "the orange lady" — and a really moving observation from a fire marshal: that this group had bonded in three days the way another group hadn't in nine months. Plus: Cynthia's reveal that two of these students already have business ideas they want to launch. (She is, predictably, ready for next year's class.) QUOTABLE MOMENTS FROM THE STUDENTS • "I will never forget the orange lady — as we called her — with her bubbly personality. She taught us to speak confidently, always looking for new opportunities if we prepare." — Amoni Hill • "You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul." — Nyomi Coates (quoting Gusteau, from Ratatouille) • "I had no idea this is what the program was gonna be. I thought maybe we'd just go inside businesses and talk for a little bit. But I was super excited when we started doing more hands-on stuff." — Emily Ramirez • "If you guys are looking for free certifications, maybe consider applying." — Jack Bruns • "It was just really personal. She gave us her business card. It was just really great." — Cole Stockli WHAT THE PROGRAM DOES (IN THE STUDENTS' OWN WORDS) This year's class confirmed what the previous two classes have shown: the Arising Leadership Program isn't just about exposing students to careers. It's about helping them rethink what's possible in their own backyard, building cross-school friendships across former rivalries, and shifting their sense of identity from "student" to "leader." By graduation, every student in this year's class had moved their Post-it Note from the "not yet" column to "I am a leader." ABOUT THE ARISING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM A career exploration program for rising high-school juniors and seniors across the Top of Virginia region. Over a week and a half, students rotate through industries in their own backyard — radio, aviation, healthcare, law and public safety, mining and engineering, agriculture, hospitality, culinary, events and floristry, financial services, and more. Coordinated by Missy Spielman through the Top of Virginia Regional Chamber. The program is free for participating students thanks to founding sponsorship from Carmeuse and additional community partners.

Most Americans are far less prepared for retirement than many assume. Don and Tom discuss new Federal Reserve data showing that only about half of Americans have retirement accounts, the median retirement balance is just $200,000, and only a tiny percentage of retirees have more than $1 million saved. They explain why starting early, saving consistently, and avoiding speculative investing matter far more than chasing hot stocks or market trends. The episode also covers Social Security misconceptions, the challenges of retiring on limited income, concerns about Schwab's Teen Investor Account, and the importance of teaching young people disciplined long-term investing habits.0:11 How many Americans actually have enough saved for retirement?2:08 Federal Reserve data on retirement account ownership3:18 The surprisingly low median retirement balance4:47 Why advisors chase million-dollar clients5:07 Income, education, and retirement savings disparities7:06 Homeownership and wealth accumulation8:25 The importance of simply getting started9:41 Why Fidelity says it takes roughly 27 years to reach $1 million10:56 Saving versus investing and the dangers of speculation12:03 Leaving retirement money alone during market and life crises14:08 Bellevue, Nebraska caller asks about Social Security earnings limits15:11 Social Security taxation and claiming considerations16:32 Discussion of Edward Jones and advisor relationships19:29 Can a 76-year-old buy a home with $400 monthly payments?21:44 Schwab Teen Investor Account review22:39 Why Don dislikes stock-picking education for teenagers25:12 How custodians profit from trading activity26:35 Better ways to teach young people about investing27:31 Free advisor meetings and listener resourcesQuestions?

On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Andy Esser with Edward Jones sharing why 529 education savings plans can be a valuable tool for families planning for future education expenses. While many people associate 529 plans with college savings, today's plans offer more flexibility than ever before. Funds can be used for qualified educational expenses ranging from K-12 programs and trade schools to community colleges and traditional universities. Andy also discusses an important challenge facing families today. While many parents could benefit from a 529 plan, relatively few are taking advantage of the opportunity. Understanding the options available and starting early can help ease the financial burden of future educational costs. Whether a child dreams of attending college, learning a skilled trade, or pursuing another educational path, planning ahead can make those goals more attainable.

Edward Jones describes amateur radio as a global social network that predates the digital age, utilizing high-frequency shortwave signals to bypass the internet entirely. By bouncing waves off the ionosphere, operators can achieve a worldwide reach, participating in a competitive "radio sport" where the goal is to log as many international contacts as possible within a limited timeframe. Jones highlights that while the hobby can range from modest apartment setups to massive suburban towers, its true appeal lies in the unpredictable nature of radio and the technical challenge of making distant connections.

Parents: are you planning and saving for your children's educational futures? If not, you're not alone. In fact, new research shows that 59% of adults in the U.S. say they're not saving enough for educational expenses. And many say they have no idea where to even start. In honor of today being 5/29, Inside Sources takes some time to discuss the 529 Plans with Edward Jones financial advisor Andy Esser, who says these plans are a great way to save for your kids' future education.
