Episode 091: Kailash Duraiswami is the Chief Technology Officer at Milemarker, where he leads the development of data infrastructure and AI-powered solutions for modern advisory firms. With a unique blend of financial expertise and deep technical knowledge, Kailash brings his passion for innovation, data strategy, and scalable technology to help wealth management firms thrive in a multi-platform world. In this episode, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Kailash about his unconventional path from launching an RIA straight out of college to building tech that transformed data operations for financial firms. They unpack the challenges firms face with fragmented data, the importance of centralized infrastructure, and how AI will reshape wealth management. They discuss why firms need to reclaim ownership of their data, how to avoid becoming an “accidental CTO,” and how Milemarker is building scalable, simplified tech solutions for advisors navigating a multi-platform, AI-enabled world. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (01:53) - Kailash's money moment (06:56) - What is Pantenix? (10:10) - The value of a data warehouse (12:31) - Kailash's thoughts on cloud-based infrastructure (14:16) - The importance of data platforms (18:29) - Why becoming a CTO should be intentional (22:30) - AI in wealth management (24:46) - The advantage of building your own language models (31:51) - Why CTOs in RIAs need to understand wealth management (36:02) - Why all-in-one platforms limit user experiences (39:03) - Kailash's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Centralize your data to maximize AI and operational efficiency. Without consolidating your firm's data into a single, accessible environment, it's nearly impossible to generate meaningful insights or leverage AI effectively. Fragmented data limits your ability to scale and innovate. You don't have to become an “accidental CTO”. Many firm leaders end up spending too much time wrestling with tech. Outsourcing specialized functions—like data architecture and infrastructure—can free up your time to focus on clients and growth, while still driving innovation. Owning your data is not the same as using cloud-based tools. Just because your systems are in the cloud doesn't mean you own your data. True ownership means having control over how and where your data is stored, accessed, and used to make decisions. AI is only as smart as the data it has access to. For AI to deliver meaningful outcomes—like intelligent agents or predictive analytics—it needs clean, well-structured, and centralized data. Start with solid infrastructure before diving into advanced AI capabilities. Quotes "What we're doing here, as a help to your technology footprint, is enabling you to see and understand your business in ways you've never done before. And that requires very sophisticated technology." ~ Kailash Duraiswami "You must have your data in one place to really make use of AI because the conclusions that the model can make or the recommendations are all subject to what data is presented to it." ~ Kailash Duraiswami  "The biggest thing we are making here is building a tool that is advisor-centric and executive-centric. And that means simplicity. Above all, the boldness of what we have here is to do less in an excellent way." ~ Kailash Duraiswami  Links  Kailash Duraiswami on LinkedIn Orion Advisor Solutions Black Diamond Tamarac Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Alaska's proposed Ambler Road is back on the table, and Americans are once again asked a fundamental question about what we value and what kind of world we will pass on to our children.  We covered the Ambler Road controversy in Episode 168 of the podcast, and a quick re-listen to that episode will be handy for getting the information we need to make informed decisions in this coming time of decision and consequence. Here's a quick breakdown of the issue: The proposed Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile industrial corridor through public lands along the southern flanks of the Brooks Range and one of the last and largest protected roadless areas on earth. The road would be built from the Dalton Highway at Mile Marker 161 to the Ambler Mining District on the Ambler River, passing through the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, bisecting the migration route of the embattled Western Arctic caribou herd and crossing nearly 3,000 streams and 11 major rivers including the Kobuk and Koyukon. Our guest today is Seth Kantner, who was born in a sod igloo on the Kobuk River in the 1960's and has been hunting, trapping, fishing and making a life on the land there ever since. He's a renowned wildlife photographer and a commercial fisherman, best known for his extraordinary novel Ordinary Wolves, his non-fiction books Shopping for Porcupine, Swallowed by the Great Land and A Thousand Trails Home: Living with Caribou, and a children's book, Pup and Porcupine. We thought that, with all the controversy over the Ambler Road, we should find a person who could speak to what was there in that country now, and what is truly at stake if the road project goes forward. We'll have Seth back to talk about subsistence hunting and trapping and life in the Arctic, but for now, let's address this pressing issue of the Ambler Road.  

Can a Star Wars collectors club meetup really be a life-changing event? For the podcast's milestone 200th episode, join host David Quinn for a look back at RonCon 2, an unforgettable 2017 meetup in the Hudson Valley area of New York.

But why was this day so special? What does a collectors meetup offer that makes it the heart and soul of the hobby? And after listening, why will you want to attend a future local club event? This is a true celebration of Star Wars and the amazing community of fans and collectors. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production, episode 200! *If you'd like to read about the 2017 RonCon 2 meetup and see photos from the event, check out the article on The Star Wars Collectors Archive: http://blog.theswca.com/2024/11/a-galactic-mile-marker-attending-my.html To Listen to the Episode on the Prototype Archives Site: https://www.prototypearchives.com/podcast Links to the Episode on Various Podcast Platforms: APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/id1448205460 YOUTUBE MUSIC/PODCASTS: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7UruGWpd8qKrObL8-DSLekomB8GuB1VT SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/744L0XQhmpXn2AZeaxUhOZ CASTBOX: https://castbox.fm/channel/Star-Wars%3A-Prototypes-and-Production-id1904296?utm_source=website&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=web_share&utm_content=Star%20Wars%3A%20Prototypes%20and%20Production-CastBox_FM STITCHER: https://www.stitcher.com/show/1054209 PANDORA: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/PC:1001054209 PODBEAN: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/u4ywr-80960/ AMAZON MUSIC: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/c98fb265-c233-43d9-ae3b-1102bfb03e45/star-wars-prototypes-and-production PLAYERFM: https://player.fm/series/2473540 SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/david-quinn-908355451/tracks PODVINE: https://podvine.com/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production iHEART: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-star-wars-prototypes-and-p-31050806/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/star-wars-prototypes-and-production/id1448205460

Episode 067: Effective communication is the bridge that connects financial experts with clients who may feel overwhelmed by financial jargon. Translating financial concepts into clear, relatable language closes the gap between technical knowledge and client understanding, laying the groundwork for successful partnerships and empowering clients to make better financial decisions. This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Paula Nangle, President and Senior Wealth Advisor at Marshall Financial. Paula focuses on instilling the values that have guided Marshall Financial for more than 40 years. She talks with Kyle about how she transitioned from pharmaceuticals to financial services, and her experiences navigating cultural shifts, overcoming communication barriers, and building meaningful client connections. Paula also dives into her passion for teaching financial planning concepts, and shares her take on the industry's future. In this episode: [02:42] - Paula's money moment [05:37] - From pharmaceuticals to financial services [09:18] - Teaching financial concepts [10:49] - Qualities to look for in financial advisors [14:05] - The gap between academic knowledge and practical experience [16:14] - Using data to make strategic decisions [20:30] - Providing career transition services to clients [24:57] - What it takes to grow a financial advisory firm [27:36] - Paula's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Effective communication, free from industry jargon, is essential for building trust and helping clients make smart decisions. Data and analytics are essential for running a successful financial advisory firm and making informed strategic decisions. Providing personalized financial advice and addressing clients' unique needs is a key differentiator for financial advisors. AI is a whole new ballgame in the future of financial services. Advisors need to leverage technology to enhance client experiences and improve efficiency. Quotes [12:55] - "The RIA has evolved where there are more enterprise firms. So, not everyone needs to be a salesman to be successful as a financial advisor." ~ Paula Nangle [16:40] - "Every year, we get a valuation of our company to know what it's worth. So, it's very data-driven, and it comes from a lot of different sources. Milemarker helps clients pull all that complex data together." ~ Paula Nangle [25:47] - "AI is a whole new ballgame. I don't think we're going to see the obsolescence of human financial advisors. I think clients are going to crave human connection even more, and I believe these tools will allow us to deliver a more personalized experience." ~ Paula Nangle Links  Paula Nangle on LinkedIn Marshall Financial Group NYU The Women Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode 043: In this episode, Kyle talks with Justin Steitz, President at Copper Financial. In his role, he leads sales, investment operations, compliance, and audits for the CommunityAmerica advisor channel and the broker-dealer business unit. Justin is dedicated to the credit union mantra of "people helping people" and focuses on giving back to the community. With a strong background in compliance, he is well-versed in the highly regulated wealth management industry. Before joining the Copper Financial team, Justin served as Chief Compliance Officer for Ausdal Financial Partners, Inc., where he led the effort to build an in-house broker-dealer. Justin talks with Kyle about the unique challenges and opportunities of serving the credit union space. He highlights the importance of philanthropy and community in the credit union industry and how Copper Financial is dedicated to helping credit union members invest and improve their financial well-being. Join us as we discuss: [01:47] - Copper Financial's philanthropic activities. [03:35] - Justin's money moment that led him to a career in wealth management. [06:40] - How Copper Financial creates investment programs for clients of all sizes. [11:42] - Why credit unions are lagging behind in digital adoption.

[24:01] - The challenges and benefits of AI in the industry. [29:08] - Justin's thoughts on the future of wealth management and credit unions. [32:32] - Milemarker minute: must-see places in Kansas City, Chiefs' game vs Royals' game, and bucket list travel destination. Key Takeaways Copper Financial provides investment programs for credit unions and is driven by the credit union mantra of "people helping people." The credit union industry is community-focused and emphasizes giving back to members and the community through philanthropy and financial literacy programs. Technology, including robo-advisors and self-directed trading, is driving the evolution of credit union wealth management. Credit unions have historically been slower to adopt digital technologies due to resource constraints. There is a growing need to compete with fintech companies and provide members with digital investment options. Quotes "It doesn't matter if it's $500 or $5 million, we're going to work with them. And that was my moment of 'I'm all in.' I build products and services for credit union members to invest in. I love to help people. And it went into that mantra of people helping people. Now, I get to do it in the industry I love and help change people's lives." ~ Justin Steitz "We can be the entry point, not only digitally, and get you to start investing. Then, we have the financial advisors to grow and morph into. It's a one-stop shop." ~ Justin Steitz "It comes down to survival of the fittest with the amount of technology that's in the space. You've got to be spending money on technology in order to compete, or a customer or a member is going to go somewhere else where they have that." ~ Justin Steitz Links  Justin Steitz on LinkedIn Copper Financial CommunityAmerica Credit Union Robinhood Betterment SoFi Stash Vanguard Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode 040: The traditional path to building a business is often painted as a clear roadmap, following established blueprints and pre-defined steps. But, some founders follow a different playbook — one that focuses on the human element of business, fostering an environment that becomes a breeding ground for personal and professional growth. In this episode, Kyle talks with Benj Miller, Co-Founder & CEO of System & Soul. Benj is a proven entrepreneur who values character, culture, and innovation. In 2021, he co-founded System & Soul, a business operating framework that teaches leadership teams how to find unity, get healthy, and be more effective. Benj has also founded other marketing and software businesses, authored The Clarity Field Guide, and co-hosted the System & Soul Podcast. Benj talks with Kyle about the importance of having a renegade spirit in business. He explains how System & Soul differs from other operating systems and why businesses should focus on people development and business growth. Benj also provides insights into leadership development and offers practical advice for RIAs looking to build successful and fulfilling businesses. Join us as we discuss: [02:52] - How System & Soul came to be. [05:58] - The unique challenges facing RIAs in building a business. [08:37] - Benj's advice on building an RIA. [09:53] - What makes System & Soul different from other operating systems. [13:49] - Qualities that make a great leader. [17:44] - What it means to be a renegade entrepreneur. [22:47] - Benj's practical advice for business owners. [24:55] - The transition from renegade founder to renegade leader. [27:23] - How Benj helps people define their goals and find clarity. [30:31] - Milemarker minute: Benj's basketball team, bucket list travel destination, and dream car. Key Takeaways Building a successful business requires a renegade spirit willing to take risks and go against the odds. Leadership development is crucial for RIAs to become effective leaders who can create a positive and energizing work environment. RIAs face unique challenges in building their businesses, including the need to transition from being solely focused on managing clients to building the business itself. Transitioning from a renegade founder to a renegade leader does not necessarily mean becoming the CEO. It is about finding the role that aligns with your strengths and passions. Quotes "If you're building an RIA, don't be afraid to look outside your industry to bring in the best talent you need who are business builders. We need business builders, or else we'll just be stuck with plateauing or very linear growth based on individual books of business." ~ Benj Miller "Logically, it's just dumb to start a business. But there's something in a renegade that has to do it. The risk of regret is worse than the risk of failure." ~ Benj Miller “The world needs your renegade spirit, your renegade energy. There are some things the business might need to do to grow and you might have to do some things to shift from a renegade founder to a renegade leader. But please, please, please don't lose that renegade spirit.” ~ Benj Miller Links  Benj Miller on LinkedIn System & Soul Renegades Ninety The Clarity Filed Guide Chris White Michael Kitces Tim Spiker The Only Leader's Worth* Following Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode 039: The wealth management industry is moving beyond asset allocation and investment management. Clients require a broader suite of services, encompassing areas like tax planning, estate planning, and retirement accounts. Adero Partners recognizes these trends and is expanding its service scope to cater to its clients' evolving needs, signifying the firm's focus on providing a more comprehensive wealth management experience, and acting as the central advisor or family CFO for their clients. In this episode of The Connected Advisor, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Aaron White, Chief Growth Officer at Adero Partners. Aaron brings years of experience to the conversation in pre-liquidity planning, wealth transfer, private investments, and tax strategy. Before joining Adero, he worked as a business valuation and litigation consultant for a regional accounting firm. In his current role, Aaron focuses on providing comprehensive wealth management services to clients, with expertise in tax planning, estate planning, and alternative investments. Aaron talks with Kyle about the evolving landscape of the financial advice industry and how Adero is adapting to meet clients' changing needs. He shares how Adero provides comprehensive planning services, including tax planning, estate planning, and 401(k) assistance. Aaron also discusses the firm's use of technology, such as AI and LLMs, to enhance client experiences and improve efficiency.  Join us as we discuss: [04:02] - The money moment that led Aaron to the financial industry. [05:30] - Adero's biggest driver of growth. [06:24] - Adero's content strategies. [07:40] - Why Adero focuses on consulting clients on QSBS (qualified small business stock). [08:52] - How Adero helps people make the most of QSBS. [11:40] - How Adero has adapted to remote work. [14:32] - Adero's growth trajectory. [16:26] - How Adero uses 401(k)s as a competitive advantage. [17:58] - Adero's estate planning services. [21:18] - Aaron's outlook on the future of financial advisory. [24:56] - Aaron's background in hockey and coaching. [27:10] - Milemarker minute: favorite sports car, bucket list travel destination, and potential careers outside financial advice. Key Takeaways The wealth management industry is evolving to provide more comprehensive services beyond asset allocation and investment management. Alternative investments are becoming more accessible and offer opportunities for diversification outside of the public markets. AI and LLMs have the potential to enhance efficiency and provide quick access to information, but caution is needed around data privacy. Quotes "The qualified small business stock exclusion is one of the most significant potential tax savings opportunities. The maximum exclusion is $10 million for capital gains. If you're in a state that conforms to federal QSBS, you can save another 10% plus for some high-tax states. That's a pretty significant savings." ~ Aaron White  "Our role with our clients is to be the family CFO or the central advisor that they look to to coordinate and execute on all their tax planning and financial strategy." - Aaron White "Oftentimes, we find that an estate plan was done and signed, but they didn't actually follow through on it. And so that's something that we can help with and make sure that you actually benefit from all the money you spent and the documents you created." ~ Aaron White Links  Aaron White on LinkedIn Adero Partners Pontera Wealth.com Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode 038: In this episode of The Connected Advisor, Kyle Van Pelt is joined by John Barrows, Founder and CEO of JB Sales. John has a wealth of experience in all aspects of business and sales, from making 400 dials a week to leading a self-funded team from startup through acquisition, starting his own business, and now working with some of the world's fastest-growing and most dynamic companies. He believes that, when done right, sales is one of the greatest professions in the world, but when done wrong, it's one of the worst.  John talks with Kyle about bringing rainmakers back to the financial services industry. They delve into the challenges sales professionals face and the need for a strong work ethic to succeed. John emphasizes the value of having a plan, working hard, and consistently adding value to clients. He also shares practical tips on how to cut through the noise, build a personal brand, and leverage AI in sales and marketing. Join us as we discuss: [02:12] - What stops people from being rainmakers. [07:10] - What hard work means in today's day and age. [11:42] - Utilizing networking groups for lead generation. [14:28] - How salespeople can cut through the noise and get recognized. [16:36] - A story about how providing value makes a difference in financial services. [22:44] - Tactical tips on adding value to clients. [30:31] - What it takes to build a brand. [33:03] - How to avoid repeating the same message in sales. [37:12] - John's book recommendation about sales. [40:04] - How John leverages AI. [44:45] - Milemarker minute: John's potential career outside sales, the NFL draft, his bucket list of travel destinations, and book recommendations. [47:56] - Where to find John's content. Key Takeaways In sales, having a strong work ethic is crucial for success. Sales professionals need to put in the effort and have a clear plan to achieve their goals. Building a personal brand requires consistently adding value to your audience. To cut through the noise, sales professionals should have a reason for every client interaction.  AI can be a valuable tool in sales and marketing, but it should augment the advisor's role rather than replace it. Sales professionals can leverage AI to curate content, stay updated on industry trends, and provide personalized insights to clients. Quotes "Touching base and checking in should be erased from every sales rep's and producer's vocabulary. They should start every conversation with, 'The reason for my call is.' If you cannot finish that sentence, you should not make the phone call. And it better be something better than, 'I'm going to sell you something.'" ~ John Barrows  "Most people don't build their brands because there are no short-term results and no short-term gratification to it. A brand is a long-term play, but especially in this world of AI, if you are not working on your brand, AI is going to take over your brand." ~ John Barrows  "There's always somebody one step ahead of you, and there's always somebody one step behind you. Follow the people who are one step ahead of you, consume their content, and then translate it down to the people who are one step behind you." ~ John Barrows Links  John Barrows on LinkedIn John Barrows on Twitter John Barrows on Instagram JB Sales Northwestern Mutual Feedly Michael Kitces The Challenger Sale The Challenger Customer The JOLT Effect Perplexity Crystal Knows Greenlights Make It Happen Mondays Podcast Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Episode 87 David Schultz In the first episode of 2024, we explore the bizarre case of David Schultz, a 53 year old married trucker and father, who vanished without a trace in the early morning hours of November 21st, 2023. David was transporting a load of pigs  in Sac County, Iowa. He didn't show up for his delivery, which was unlike him. Phone calls to his cell phone went unanswered. Later that day, David's tractor trailer was found parked and turned off in the middle of  rural two lane U.S. Highway 71. The load of pigs David was transporting remained undisturbed and accounted for on his trailer.  David's wallet containing a good amount of cash, and his cell phone were found inside the cab. In a ditch nearby, his jacket was found, but there was no sign of David himself. It was noted that David's truck was found facing North, but the spot he needed to deliver to in Sac City was to the South. When police reviewed surveillance footage of a stop David made at the Mile Marker 126 truck stop just after 11pm on the night of the 20th, there seemed to be nothing unusual captured; David had stopped there for about 16 minutes, and didn't appear to talk to anyone. He had a drink and checked his cell phone before driving off. Cellphone data shows David's phone arrived at Hwy 20 & 71 at about 12:18 a.m. The data shows the phone traveling north to where the truck was found. Data suggests the truck may have been there since about 12:40 a.m. Searches of the area were done, and while no sign of David was found, on a search done on December 2nd, 2023, a team found the remains of a missing Rockwell City man, 54-year-old Mark Edward Riesberg, on a wooded property southwest of Jolley. Riesberg was found in his PT Cruiser, the apparent victim of a self inflicted gunshot. He had been missing since late October. His cause of death is apparently suicide, and not connected to David's case.  David's wife Sarah is dumbounded by her husband's disappearance. She can think of no reason why he would willingly vanish, and feels that his disappearance is a case of foul play. She discusses this baffling case with us in this episode. David Schultz is described as a White male, 5ft11, 190 lbs, with Brown hair and Brown eyes. He was last known to be wearing wrangler blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a Peterbilt hat. The truck he was driving when he vanished is a Red & White Peterbilt.  Anyone with information about David Schultz's disappearance is asked to call the Sac County Sheriff's Office at 712-662-7127 or the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation at 712-262-1873. There is a reward of $2,000 being offered in this case.  David's family has been financially impacted by his disapperance, and a Gofundme has been set up to help get them through this difficult time. Please contribute if you can.  To listen to this episode ad-free and get access to other podcast benefits, consider an AbJack Insider subscription.  To contact the podcast or learn more about the cases we discuss visit: Missingpersonspodcast.com Follow us on Social media on Facebook or Twitter

The mostly warm, fuzzy, cozy, sanitized Christmas is mainly a product of 19th and 20th century American influence. In earlier times, Christmas had a spooky side — one example of which is the Welsh tradition of the ghostly gray mare: the Mari Lwyd.  Mentioned in this Episode Jeff Belanger The Fright Before Christmas by Jeff Belanger Music in this Episode "John Barleycorn" — Julius H., via Pixabay "Dread Lake" — Blue Dot Sessions, via Free Music Archive "Mile Marker 323" — Blue Dot Sessions, via Free Music Archive "Relaxing Acoustic - Noel" —Oleksii Kaplunskyi, via Pixabay "Dramatic Uplifting Cinematic Piano" — Yevhen Onoychenko, via Pixabay Additional sound effects via Freesound
