What if the hardest part of money isn't earning it, but knowing how to use it well?Morgan Housel, bestselling author of The Psychology of Money, returns to Finding Mastery to explore the core idea behind his newest bestselling book, The Art of Spending Money. In this next chapter of his work, Morgan shifts the conversation away from accumulation and toward a deeper question: after the basics are covered, what role should money actually play in your life?While most financial advice focuses on how to earn and invest, Morgan argues that the more consequential skill is learning how to spend in alignment with your values. The challenge isn't simply getting rich. It's defining “enough.”In this conversation, Dr. Michael Gervais and Morgan unpack why money decisions are rarely logical and almost always emotional… shaped by identity, comparison, uncertainty, and the quiet pull of status. They explore the psychological difference between getting rich and staying rich, why uncertainty is a permanent feature of life, and how financial independence — not prestige — may be the real prize.At the center of it all is a powerful reframe:Money is a tool, not a scorecard.In this episode, we explore:Why money anxiety persists even when you're “doing fine” on paperHow comparison and status influence spending decisionsWhat it means to use money in service of “a good life”Why defining “enough” matters more than earning “more”How to spend with more intention and fewer regretsIf you're serious about building a life that feels aligned — not just impressive — this conversation offers a grounded, psychologically rigorous lens on how to think about money differently.__________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

As I prepare to move in with my partner for the first time (your girl's growing up!), I revisited our practical and helpful conversation with personal finance expert and author, Alyssa Davies, about how to navigate your finances when you're merging lives with your partner, and how to set yourself up for success when you're moving in together.

Summary  In the final episode with Wade, Todd, and David, the conversation shifts from philosophy to history and mentorship. Wade asks what has changed in the financial industry over the past several decades and what hasn't. Todd reflects on the early days before computers, the impact of mentors like Norman Baker, the myth of "deals" in insurance, and the importance of integrating tools—not replacing human judgment with them. The discussion highlights why math must be paired with context, conversation, and strategy in order to truly serve clients. It's a timely reminder that the future of financial advice isn't about replacing the advisor — it's about elevating them.   Episode Highlights 00:15:50 - Evolution of Industry Conversations. 00:03:18 - Addressing Industry's Adversarial Past. 00:03:52 - Life Insurance and Cash Value Benefits. 00:04:41 - Asset Flow: Evaluating Investment Synergy. 00:06:39 - Painting a Picture of Financial Sacrifice. 00:09:02 - The Importance of Asking the Right Questions. 00:11:49 - Balancing Technology with Human Insight. 00:13:25 - Challenges of AI in Financial Advice. 00:13:37 - Importance of Mentorship in Industry. 00:13:38 - Mentorship's Role in Leveraging Experience.   Episode Resources sagewealthstrategy.com About Todd And The Financial Software Guest Name Todd LangfordGuest Emailtlangford@truthconcepts.com Additional guest  David Zapata davidzapata@factumfinancial.com   Keywords Wade Borth Podcast smart ideas new opportunities money management financial independence investment strategies insurance industry real estate vs stock market holistic financial planning rate of return asset flow cash value life insurance distribution phase financial software financial calculators AI in finance investment biases financial advising financial conversation client confidence financial mentorship financial industry evolution interest rates financial context financial education

I met Mark Hedderman at the FAAA Congress in Perth, and it didn't take long to realise we were aligned. Beyond the Irish accent, Mark brings a deeply human view of financial advice – one shaped by family, his own experience, and a belief that money is the vehicle, not the destination. In this week's episode of It's Never About Money, we explore why financial advice needs to move beyond numbers and net worth, and towards wellbeing, health, purpose and connection. Mark shares how his family's story – including his father's cancer diagnosis just months into retirement – reshaped how he thinks about success and legacy. We talk about reimagining retirement as a time for unrealised dreams, not an end point, and how advisers can help improve health and life outcomes by asking better questions. Mark also explains how his firm is redesigning its advice model – reducing the focus on money and building in preventative health, social connection and family-wide conversations.  We finish with a powerful reminder of what great advice really looks like: someone who cares about you first, the money second – and who helps you live well, not just retire wealthy. Because in the end, it's never just about money.   FIND OUT MORE: https://hedderman.ie/   ABOUT IT'S NEVER ABOUT MONEY:   Joe Stephan is a Financial Planner with Stephan Independent Advisory, based in Melbourne, Australia: https://siadvisory.com.au/    It's Never About Money is powered by Stephan Independent Advisory: https://itsneveraboutmoney.com.au It's Never About Money is a proud supporter of Cufa: https://www.cufa.org.au/

This week, Jack Sharry talks with Michael Liersch, Chief Planning Officer at Edelman Financial Engines. Michael acts as the production arm at Edelman. He leads the firm's strategic agenda around the convergence of financial planning, advice, technology, operations, investment solutions, and user experience. With a distinguished career spanning academia and financial services, Michael is also known for integrating behavioral insights into financial strategy. Michael talks with Jack about how artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping financial advice, not as a replacement for humans, but as a force multiplier for listening, building trust, and improving outcomes. He also discusses the phases of AI integration, the risks of "over-AI-ing" the client experience, and his vision for a future in which advice itself, rather than products, is the industry's core value proposition. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:18) - Michael's role at Edelman Financial Engine (04:04) - Michael's psychological perspective on AI (08:51) - Edelman's practical application of AI (15:55) - How Edelman uses AI at scale (21:49) - Protecting clients from “over-AI-ing” (25:30) - Michael's outlook on the future of AI in financial services (29:54) - Michael's goal for the financial industry (34:37) - Michael's interests outside of work Quotes "We are in a truly new and unique era, recognizing that machines, you can call that AI, and humans can complement each other." ~ Michael Liersch "What's interesting about the machine is that it doesn't really have any of its own feelings. But it really does a great job of giving itself entirely to the human and achieving a level of precision that humans find challenging." ~ Michael Liersch "I really want to move the financial industry toward having advice be the actual product." ~ Michael Liersch Links  Michael Liersch on LinkedIn Edelman Financial Engines Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

In this episode, we break down one of the most misunderstood parts of the financial industry: the difference between financial advice and product sales and why it matters more than most people realize.Most people seek out a financial professional because they want advice. They want to confirm they're on track, want help building a comprehensive plan, or are seeking guidance for a specific financial decision. What many don't realize is that the financial industry has historically been structured as a sales-based business. According to feeonlynetwork.com, fewer than 2% of the 295,000 financial professionals in the United States can be classified as Fee-Only for the advice they provide. We explore how compensation, sales quotas, and limited product offerings can influence recommendations, often blurring the line between objective advice and a sales presentation. We end with a simple recommendation of how to quickly identify advisors who have prioritized advice and eliminated the sales-based commission and revenue sharing incentives from their practices.If you want to better understand the incentives behind the advice you receive, this episode will give you a framework to ask the right questions and choose a financial professional that is right for you.Thanks for listening!For more details we recommend that you check out our blog post covering the same topic at https://pw-wm.com/learn/financial-planning/why-financial-advice-vs-product-sales-matters/

Episode Introduction This episode of The Homeowners Show features hosts Kevin Hackett and Craig Williams discussing current trends in the housing market, personal finance related to homeownership, and a practical DIY project. Real Estate Market Update Mortgage Rates: Rates have dropped to their lowest point since 2023, falling below 6% and even reaching 5.9% for some loans. FHA and VA loans are seeing rates around 5.9%, while traditional loans are in the low 6% range. Buyer's Market: There are currently 500,000 more home sellers than buyers, indicating a buyer's market. This shift suggests that prices may begin to decrease, and buyers have more negotiation power. Affordable Homes: While many homes are priced high, there are still options available for under $200,000, typically smaller, newer constructions. The hosts advocate for buying within one's means and prioritizing essential home features over excessive luxury. Financial Advice for Homeowners Smart Spending: The hosts emphasize the importance of making financially sound decisions, such as buying a home that is affordable rather than stretching to the absolute limit. This approach can lead to less financial stress and more disposable income for home improvements and personal enjoyment. Investment vs. Renting: Homeownership is generally presented as a better financial decision than renting, even for smaller, more affordable properties, as it builds equity over time. Avoiding Unnecessary Debt: The discussion highlights the negative impact of taking on excessive debt for a home, potentially leading to marital strain and unhappiness. DIY Project: Garage Door Opener Installation The Problem: Craig's garage door opener failed due to a worn-out plastic gear. The Solution: After initially considering professional replacement, which was quoted at three times the cost of the unit itself, Craig opted for a DIY installation. Technology & Tools: ChatGPT Assistance: AI was used to research compatible brands and installation nuances, revealing that multiple brands share the same mounting mechanisms. Chamberlain B6753T: The chosen smart garage door opener features Wi-Fi connectivity, a camera for deliveries (with a subscription service), a microphone, and a backup battery. Installation App: A dedicated app provided interactive 3D models and video guidance, making the installation process significantly easier and more detailed than traditional manuals. Key Features: The new opener is remarkably quiet and features a powerful LED light bar (2000 lumens) that illuminates the entire garage. Cost Savings: DIY installation saved approximately $1200 compared to professional service. Social Commentary Protests and Child Involvement: The hosts express dismay at seeing young children holding vulgar protest signs, criticizing the irresponsibility of parents who expose their children to such environments and language. Focus on Service: They advocate for channeling energy from unproductive protests into positive actions, such as volunteering and helping those in need. Economic Stabilization: Despite controversies, the hosts acknowledge that the current economic conditions have stabilized, leading to increased consumer confidence and spending. Upcoming Content The hosts mention exciting interviews and content planned for the year ahead. Call to Action Viewers are encouraged to like, subscribe, and leave reviews for The Homeowners Show.

The Moment “Confident” Sounds Like “Certain” A few weeks ago, we found ourselves talking about how quickly AI is moving. It's not just that it can answer questions fast—it's that it can sound certain while doing it. https://www.youtube.com/live/mWd2QqPzFWA And when you're staring at a big money decision—debt, investing, taxes, retirement—certainty feels like relief. It feels like clarity. But after thousands of conversations with real families, we've learned something that never changes: people don't just need answers. They need judgment. They need wisdom. They need someone who can hear what's not being said and help them make decisions they can live with. So we're tackling the question head-on: Will AI replace financial advisors? The Moment “Confident” Sounds Like “Certain”The Promise and the Limits of an AI Financial AdvisorWill AI Replace Financial Advisors? Start With the Real Problem: Information Overload, Wisdom ShortageAI Financial Planning Tools Can Help You Find Information Fast—but Speed Isn't the Same as StewardshipAI Financial Advisor vs Human Financial Advisor: What AI Does Well (And Why That's a Gift)What AI Can and Can't Do in Financial Advice: AI Excels at Technical Speed and StructureHow to Use AI With a Financial Advisor: Let AI Raise Your Questions, Not Replace Your CounselChatGPT Financial Advice and the Biggest Risk: It Doesn't Know What's True—It Knows What's RepeatedCan You Trust AI for Financial Advice?

The Promise and the Limits of an AI Financial Advisor If you've been asking, “Will AI replace financial advisors?” you're not alone. With ChatGPT and other tools now in everyone's pocket, it's natural to wonder if you can depend on technology to do what an advisor does—maybe even better than a human. In this blog, you'll walk away with: A clear view of what an AI financial advisor can do well today The limits of ChatGPT financial advice (and why it matters) The real difference in AI vs human financial advisor—and why it isn't mostly about math How to use AI in financial planning without outsourcing your responsibility A simple framework for letting AI serve your decisions—not lead them We're not here to hype AI or fear it. We're here to help you use it wisely—so you stay in control of your financial life. Will AI Replace Financial Advisors? Start With the Real Problem: Information Overload, Wisdom Shortage We live in a world drowning in information. You can Google anything. You can ask ChatGPT anything. You can get 1,500 opinions in five minutes—especially about money. But access to information isn't the same as knowing what to do. That's why this conversation matters: we don't just have an information problem. We have a wisdom problem. You can search “how to invest” or “how to pay off debt” and get answers that sound smart—but those answers don't actually understand your life, your goals, your emotions, your discipline level, your blind spots, your family responsibilities, or your values. People don't get stuck because they can't find an answer. They get stuck because they can't tell which answer is true, which answer is opinion, and which answer applies to their reality. This is the first reason the “AI will replace advisors” narrative falls short. AI can multiply information. But it cannot automatically create wisdom inside you. AI Financial Planning Tools Can Help You Find Information Fast—but Speed Isn't the Same as Stewardship AI in the financial world isn't brand new. The industry has used advanced modeling tools for years—Monte Carlo simulations, tax planning software, retirement projections, portfolio analytics. What's changed is how accessible and conversational it's become. Now you can ask an AI tool a question like you'd ask a person. That's powerful. But it also creates a temptation: treating the tool like a decision-maker instead of a tool. And that's where people can get harmed—not because AI is “evil,” but because it's easy to transfer your trust to something that sounds confident. AI Financial Advisor vs Human Financial Advisor: What AI Does Well (And Why That's a Gift) Let's say this plainly: AI can be a good tool. Used well, it can help you become more prepared, more organized, and more proactive. Here are practical ways AI in financial planning is already genuinely helpful. What AI Can and Can't Do in Financial Advice: AI Excels at Technical Speed and Structure AI is excellent at gathering technical information quickly and helping you manipulate scenarios. Instead of building spreadsheets, calculators, and formulas from scratch, you can get a structured outline in minutes. It can help you: Summarize concepts in plain language Compare strategies side-by-side Generate checklists and planning questions Turn notes into a presentation Create “what if” scenario prompts That can help you see possibilities faster. But seeing possibilities is not the same as choosing wisely. How to Use AI With a Financial Advisor: Let AI Raise Your Questions, Not Replace Your Counsel One of the best uses of AI is preparation. You can ask it: “What questions should I ask my advisor about retirement?” “What are common blind spots in tax planning?” “What are the tradeoffs of paying off debt versus investing?” “What does it mean to reduce drawdown?” Then you bring those questions to a real conversation with a professional who understands context. Used this way, AI can help you show up better. That's very different than AI taking over. ChatGPT Financial Advice and the Biggest Risk: It Doesn't Know What's True—It Knows What's Repeated One thing we've noticed quickly: AI tools learn from what's out there on the internet, and they don't always know what is true versus what is simply popular. Sometimes things look like “truth” because they're repeated endlessly. That matters in money decisions, because repetition isn't accuracy—and it's definitely not wisdom. So if you're asking, “Can you trust AI for financial advice?” the answer depends on how you use it. Can You Trust AI for Financial Advice? A Simple Framework Here's a practical way to think about trust: Trust AI to organize information. Trust AI to help you generate questions. Don't trust AI to carry your responsibility. Don't trust AI to know your full story—your fears, habits, values, and family dynamics. AI can be a strong assistant. It's not a wise authority. Robo-advisor vs Financial Advisor: Why Optimization Isn't the Same as Guidance Robo-advisors have been around for years. They can be helpful for automating portfolio allocation and rebalancing. But the question isn't whether robo-advisor vs financial advisor is better in theory. The question is: what do you actually need? Most people don't struggle because they lack a portfolio. They struggle because when real life hits—fear, uncertainty, loss, family conflict—they stop making consistent decisions. Money decisions are never just math decisions. They're human decisions. And real guidance isn't just optimization. It's interpretation, coaching, and sometimes even protection from your own impulse. AI and Behavioral Finance Coaching: The Moment Emotion Enters, the Math Isn't Enough A perfect example came up in our conversation. Someone left an advisor because they felt dismissed emotionally. The message they kept hearing was, “Don't worry.” But they were worried. So the plan was adjusted to minimize drawdown—the goal was reducing the size of losses during downturns. That created more peace. Then the market rose strongly, and the question became: “Why am I not up as much as the S&P 500?” That's a human moment. It's normal. It also reveals the deeper truth: we often want safety and maximum upside at the same time. An AI tool can explain that tradeoff intellectually. But the real work is helping a person reconnect their decisions to their values and expectations—and then stay consistent under stress. That's where AI vs human financial advisor becomes obvious. The issue isn't intelligence. The issue is integration. Roth Conversions and the Problem With “Perfect Math”: You Have to Know the Future (And You Don't) Roth conversions are a great example of why financial decisions can't be reduced to formulas. Whether a Roth conversion is “best” depends on factors like: Future tax rates Your income path Your withdrawal timing And how long you'll live Many financial models require assumptions about the future that cannot be known. AI can run scenarios. It cannot remove uncertainty. It also cannot decide which risks you're willing to carry, which outcomes matter most to you, and how your family should prepare if life doesn't go as modeled.
