In this week's news roundup, Ed, Harvey and Simon cover four big stories from four big companies: Zillow's latest legal setback, REA Group's return to Europe, Hemnet's free-to-list pivot and an activist investor at Rightmove.This episode is brought to you by Fusion 4 Ventures.Zillow loses its dismissal bidA judge has rejected Zillow's motion to dismiss the Dupuis class action, brought on behalf of agents in its Preferred and Flex programmes, so the case now moves into discovery. The suit alleges Zillow pressured agents to sell Zillow Home Loans products at the risk of being dropped from its programmes.REA Group buys into DistilledREA Group has agreed to take a 35% stake in Distilled, owner of Daft.ie and PropertyPal. Simon explains why a minority stake in a vendor-paid advertising market makes sense, and what it could mean for Hemnet. Plus: Daft's Marcus Hartwall moves to Hemnet as chief commercial officer.Hemnet goes free to listWith challenger Booli showing far more listings, Hemnet is introducing free-to-list tiers and aggregating listings from agency websites to reach full market coverage. The team discuss Hemnet's average revenue per listing and Similarweb data showing Booli now ahead on traffic.An activist at RightmoveUS activist investor Sachem Head has taken a 6% stake in Rightmove, whose shares have fallen around 40% in the last year.PPW Europe 2026 is less than a month away.

This week on HOP, Katie Griffin and Martyn Baum take on the constant stream of headlines, notifications, reports, dashboards and data that seem to dominate modern business.From doom-and-gloom property headlines to clients expecting instant replies, the question is simple: are we better informed — or just overwhelmed?We ask whether agents really need to answer everything immediately, what tasks we could stop doing tomorrow that nobody would notice, and whether more communication always means better service.And then there's the controversial one: do sellers actually need Rightmove click-through reports?Do these reports genuinely help clients understand what is happening with their property, or are they just vanity metrics that tell us how many people looked without telling us why they did not book a viewing?If a property is getting plenty of online attention but no physical viewings, is that useful evidence for a price conversation — or does “no viewings” already tell us everything we need to know?Katie and Martyn debate where data becomes useful insight, when reporting becomes noise, and whether the real job of an agent is not simply to give clients information — but to explain what that information actually means.Plus: what could you stop doing in your business tomorrow that nobody would even notice?
Deal times have hit a record: PropertyMark's latest survey has more than half of estate agents reporting deals taking over 17 weeks from agreed offer to exchange. That's the first time since they started measuring in 2015, and it backs up the warning that every force acting on the market this year would make moving harder. Fact one: Labour is considering lowering the mansion tax threshold from £2 million to £1.5 million. The £2m threat alone has already caused a cliff-edge drop in sales above the line and a bunching just below it, which distorts pricing all the way down the chain. A flat proportional property tax that replaced stamp duty would do far less damage. Fact two: Rightmove shows first-time buyer asking prices falling both month on month and year on year, national asking prices down about 1.8% year on year (a leading indicator), and buyer enquiries down 9%. That's good news for first-time buyers, who get more choice and less competition, but rising mortgage rates and youth unemployment are hitting that cohort hardest. Fact three: government borrowing is only down year to date because tax receipts are up, and spending is £7 billion over the OBR forecast. The gilt market punishes that with higher yields, which feed into higher mortgage rates, smaller buyer budgets and slower transactions. Fact four: PropertyMark reports transaction times at a record high. The root causes are agents overvaluing homes to win instructions, a proptech industry built to support that overvaluing, and poor conveyancing, and nothing in the government's plans tackles any of them. Fact five: BestAgent now lists more homes for sale in England and Wales than Rightmove, because Rightmove only carries agents who pay its subscription.

In this week's news roundup, Idealista lands its first big agency partner in France, Compass puts serious marketing money behind its exclusive listings, and a wave of leadership changes sweeps through the portal world.Chapters:00:00 Intro04:09 Idealista Signs Orpi In France15:43 Compass Launches See It First27:27 Portal Leadership Shake-Up37:13 Do Portal Leaders Need Portal Experience?Idealista Signs Orpi In FranceBarely a month after hiring a former Leboncoin executive to run France, Idealista has signed its first major partnership there with Orpi, a cooperative of 1,250 agencies. Simon Baker explains how Idealista built its position in Portugal and Italy, how long it could take to start charging French agents, and why smaller, lower funded players should be the most worried.Compass Launches See It FirstCompass has rebuilt its website and launched See It First, a brand for listings marketed only on Compass, backed by millions of dollars of consumer advertising. The team looks at the thin margins behind Compass's $11bn in revenue, why unique listings are the only real moat, and who should be worried: smaller brokerages first, then Zillow, Homes.com and Realtor.com.Portal Leadership Shake-UpA new president at Homes.com, a new head of real estate at Swiss Marketplace Group, a new MD at ImmoScout24, Rich Hayes leaving Zoopla, board changes at Rightmove and a new CEO at Boligportal, all in about ten days.

Jennie Barker challenges the idea that better performance comes from better processes. She explains why clarity, accountability, meaningful work and great leadership matter more than forms and rating scales, and how good performance management can also be an equity intervention. Jennie shares how Rightmove is helping people navigate AI, from creating space for honest conversations about anxiety and job security to giving teams the training and freedom to experiment. She explores why psychological safety matters when the future of work feels uncertain, and why people need to feel they can work alongside AI rather than having AI done to them. Jennie also reflects on the issues she cares most about, including gender equity, housing inequality and homelessness. She leaves us with a wish for HR: focus your efforts on the leaders who shape people's everyday experience, and come together as a profession to support each other through a period of extraordinary change. --- Thank you to Staffbase for sponsoring this episode We're delighted that Staffbase is a headline partner this year at our flagship conference, How HR Leaders Change the World - Live!

In this week's news roundup, regulators and courts take centre stage: REA Group settles with the ACCC, a Chicago judge hands MRED and Compass a win over Zillow, Hemnet's activist investors reshape the board and pause the buyback, and Schibsted appears to be lining up to take on its own former marketplaces business in Norway.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:34 REA Group Signs ACCC Undertaking Over Listing Clauses13:38 Are Regulators Cracking Down On Portal Pricing?17:39 Zillow Loses Injunction Bid Against MRED & Compass23:35 Who Portals Really Serve: Buyers & Sellers29:54 Hemnet Pauses Buyback After Board Shake-up33:20 Why Hemnet's New Board Went Local38:03 Can Hemnet's Share Price Recover?40:20 Schibsted Media, Polaris & Amedia Team Up To Take On Finn48:00 Vend At PPW Madrid & WrapREA Group Vs ACCCOn 14 September Australia's competition regulator accepted a court enforceable undertaking from REA Group over contract terms that, between 2013 and 2025, required or rewarded agencies for listing all or most of their properties on realestate.com.au. From 1 January 2027 agencies can move at least 25% of eligible listings to cheaper tiers, and the undertaking runs for three years. REA stressed there was no finding of wrongdoing. Simon explains why agents such as BresicWhitney want to hold listings back for their own sites, why this is marketing fuel for CoStar-owned Domain, and why rising portal costs against falling sales volumes mean regulators from Switzerland to Sweden and Spain are taking a closer look.Zillow Vs MREDA US judge has refused Zillow a preliminary injunction in its Sherman Act case against Chicago MLS MRED and Compass, and ended the temporary order that restored Zillow's listings feed. In the court's words, transparency is not, standing alone, a goal of the antitrust laws, and opacity is not an anticompetitive effect. Harvey read all 54 pages so you don't have to (selected quotes are on onlinemarketplaces.com), and Simon takes it back to basics: the buyer and the seller are the only essential parties, and a portal that loses listings loses relevance.Hemnet Vs BuybackAn extraordinary general meeting called by Vor Capital and Sprints Capital replaced most of Hemnet's board, with former REA and Rightmove executives making way for directors with deep Swedish market experience. The share buyback has been paused, with around SEK 189m already spent, as Hemnet enters what it calls a transformative phase. Simon, who has sat on boards on both sides of that debate, explains why local knowledge wins, why an 80% share price fall will take many quarters to recover from, and why "transformative" probably means an acquisition.Schibsted Vs Schibsted?!Schibsted Media, Polaris and Amedia have formed an equal three-way joint venture that looks set to take on Vend's Finn in Norwegian classifieds. Simon on why starting from zero against a dominant number one is so hard, the three-headed dog problem of media joint ventures, and why Vend should keep an eye on it without letting it become an anchor.The PPW Conference is in Madrid from 28 to 30 October.

Most property investors think design is just about scatter cushions and paint colours. Julian Maurice — design consultant, former contractor, and HMO investor — says that misunderstanding is costing landlords thousands. In this episode, Julian breaks down why he believes most investors don't actually understand what "profit" means (hint: gross yield tells you nothing), and how applying Dieter Rams' 10 Principles of Good Design — the same framework behind Apple and Porsche — transformed his own property portfolio.

In this week's news roundup, Zoopla breaks cover with a full set of FY2025 numbers, and that sets up a longer argument about the cheapest growth lever in the portal business: the story you tell about yourself. Chapters:00:00 Intro00:48 Zoopla Publishes Its FY2025 Financials11:56 Will Silver Lake Sell Zoopla, And To Whom?14:32 The Perception & Narrative Lever18:26 When Number Two Actually Overtakes Number One23:24 Inside The Claims Ledger: 19,300 Portal Claims32:11 Simon On Making Claims As A Portal CEO39:25 PPW Madrid Preview Zoopla Opens The BooksZoopla is no longer a public company and does not have to tell anyone anything, but it sent the market a press release anyway. Revenue of £83.2m for FY2025, down 1% year on year. Profit of £20.7m at a 16% margin. Homeowners tracking a property on the site up 39% to more than six million, and Prospect Plus seller leads converting to listings at 43%. What it did not disclose was agent or customer numbers, which is what the UK trade press led on. Simon reads a decade of roughly flat revenue as the honest picture of life as number two to Rightmove, and reckons the release is Silver Lake, eight years and around £2bn in, telling the market it is profitable and open to offers. His guess on the buyer: another PE firm rather than CoStar, Idealista or REA Group. The Narrative Growth LeverPaul Whitehead's comments to Harvey about customer perception set up the bigger question. Of the levers a portal CEO can actually pull, listings are hardest to move, traffic and product cost real money, and product has never once decided market leadership. Simon half agrees, and offers the two cases where number one genuinely fell: Casa losing Italy to Immobiliare, and Realtor.com losing the US to Zillow's Zestimate. Both needed the leader to slip at the same moment the challenger did something unusual. Claims Nobody Is CheckingWith 19,300 portal claims now in the OMP claims ledger, the question becomes who makes claims and why. Simon splits it four ways, leaders against attackers and listed against unlisted, and explains why he refused to make forward financial claims as a CEO, how survey-backed marketing claims really get made, and what to make of REA Group's disputed nine out of ten line. PPW Madrid PreviewThe conference runs 28 to 30 October. Around 300 of 500 places are already gone, Malcolm Myers and Mike DelPrete are on the strategic track, and more headline portal speakers are still to be announced. Tickets at ppweurope.com.

4 days at Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within in Cologne, and what it all means for estate agents.I flew to Cologne to sit in a room with thousands of people and be a beginner again for 4 days.No stage. No notes to deliver. Nobody asking me what the market is doing. Just a seat, a pen and Tony Robbins' Unleash the Power Within at the LANXESS arena, running from early morning until late into the night.I came home with a notebook I can barely read and a head full of ideas. This episode is what actually stuck, in roughly the order it landed, along with what I think every line means for agency owners, valuers, negotiators and lettings teams.I cover why state comes before strategy, and what that means on your fifth viewing of a Saturday. The Harvard coffee study, and the question of what you are holding before a valuation and what you are handing a vendor before they judge you. Why almost nothing in an estate agency is a skills problem, and how turning your shoulds into musts rearranges the diary on its own.Then the numbers. The Steph Curry practice ratio that should make all of us uncomfortable. The podcast statistics that hurt, because I host one. And the finding that only 7% of communication is the words you say, 38% is your voice and 55% is your physiology, which means the script you have been polishing is a fraction of the job.There is the snake phobia story that I think is the single most useful thing an agent can take into a listing appointment, especially alongside the Rightmove figure that 29% of properties currently selling are selling with the second agent. The six human needs, and the three completely different vendors they create on the same street. Why trust is not won with one brilliant appointment, but by ringing on Friday, like you said you would, 6 weeks running. And loss, less and never, which you will hear word for word in your own office the next time you have a slow month.Almost none of it is about property. All of it applies to property.I hope you enjoy this special episode. If you have any questions at all or would like my summary and presentation of "Unleash the Power Within," send me a message, and I'll happily share it with you.
In this week's news roundup, Ed, Harvey and Simon look at a portal share price recovery that's outpacing the market, the escalating Compass–StreetEasy standoff in New York, and Silver Lake's sale of Hometrack to Providence Equity Partners.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:00 Portal Share Prices Bounce Back13:43 Compass vs StreetEasy: The New York Standoff23:48 Silver Lake Sells Hometrack to ProvidencePortal Share Prices Bounce BackA composite of eight listed portals — Rightmove, REA Group, Scout24, Hemnet, CoStar, Zillow, Baltic Classifieds Group and Swiss Marketplace Group — appears to have bottomed out in mid-June 2026. Off that low the composite is up roughly 18%, with the median portal rising about 12% over three months against 2–5% for the benchmarks. The rebound is uneven: Hemnet and SMG around 29%, KE Holdings 26%, REA 22%, Rightmove 20%, Scout24 20%, CoStar 13%. Portals are still around 42% below where they were a year ago, while the S&P and FTSE sit at or near record highs. Simon's read: the sell-off had less to do with portal fundamentals than with capital rotating into AI stocks and a fear that LLMs would route around portals — while the businesses themselves kept posting strong numbers.Compass vs StreetEasy: The New York StandoffStreetEasy, Zillow's New York portal, has capped how many new agents can join its Experts programme from any brokerage already holding 20% of its user base — a threshold only Compass and its subsidiaries (Anywhere, Corcoran, Sotheby's, Coldwell Banker) meet. It follows Compass's autumn 2026 marketing playbook, whose first suggestion to agents was to delist from StreetEasy. With Compass controlling an estimated 80% of Manhattan listings by one study, Simon frames this as a battle over unique listings and a genuine existential question for StreetEasy — and asks whether the tit-for-tat response is for StreetEasy to become a brokerage itself.Silver Lake Sells Hometrack to ProvidenceHometrack, the AVM business inside Silver Lake's Houseful, is being acquired by Providence Equity Partners. Harvey's original read was that this signals Silver Lake gearing up to sell Zoopla; Ed's is that a data engine is now an easier asset to sell than a consumer-facing portal. Simon — a Hometrack director twenty years ago — explains why it's so defensible: decades of UK housing data, an AVM used by 16 of the 20 largest UK lenders, and a repeat-revenue model around quarterly loan-book revaluation that took the cost of a valuation from roughly £200 to £20. He's unconvinced a portal group loses much by selling it, and explains why putting an estimate next to an agent's asking price is a problem of its own.PPW Europe runs 28–30 October — https://ppweurope.comPresented by:• Edmund Keith — https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmund-keith/• Harvey Hancock — https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvey-hancock/• Simon Baker — https://www.linkedin.com/in/stbaker/
On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter and Post-Gazette insider Ray Fittipaldo break down the Steelers' 28-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night to end the NFL preseason. It seems the Steelers are committed to carrying four quarterbacks into the regular season. Is this the right move for Mike McCarthy's team? What did Drew Allar and Will Howard show in Buffalo? Are either of them pushing Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph? How concerned should we be that DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. didn't see the field at all during preseason? And did Kaden Wetjen cement his roster spot with a punt return touchdown? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Is a Roth conversion always the right move, or could keeping money in a traditional IRA make more sense? In this episode, Frankie Guida explores why traditional IRAs remain an important retirement planning tool and discusses situations where delaying taxes may be more beneficial than converting to a Roth. He breaks down the advantages and tradeoffs of both approaches, including tax deductions, required minimum distributions, future tax considerations, and retirement income planning. The conversation highlights why retirement tax strategies should be based on individual circumstances rather than broad assumptions. .

In this episode, Noor gets into what happens when your dreams feel so big your mind just can't get on board — and how to fix it. She shares the full story of manifesting her dream home: from standing in her then-boyfriend Richard's kitchen in 2010 saying she wanted to build her dream house one day, to driving down a road in Sheffield years later telling him "one day we're going to live here," to finding a bungalow on Rightmove during a caravan holiday in Cornwall, competing against nine other offers, and discovering it was on the exact road she'd pointed to all those years before. The lesson? Your vision is always working. But your conscious mind needs to be brought along for the ride. Noor introduces the parameters of possibility and conscious mind onboarding — the process of breaking big dreams into logical steps so your mind stops shutting them down and starts building the ladder towards them instead. If you're ready to step into the version of you who manifests everything on your vision board (and then some!)...I'm hosting a FREE workshop on Thursday August 27th at 7PM BST. It's called Become The Woman Who Manifests Her Vision Board To Reality Over And Over Again and inside, we're going to go deep into becoming the woman who can take a vision, hold it, move with it and turn it into reality repeatedly.

Mark Ingram's 11-year tenure as UAB's Director of Athletics is over. So, was it the right move — and where does UAB Athletics go from here? Jimmy Marion, John Duncan and Darion Smith break down Ingram's tenure, separating their personal experiences with him from their evaluation of UAB Athletics under his leadership. They discuss the successes of the Ingram era, the coaching decisions and controversies that accumulated over time, his relationship with Bill Clark, UAB's struggles with communication and fan engagement, and whether the department adapted quickly enough to the changing landscape of college athletics. The conversation then turns to what comes next. What should UAB prioritize in its search for a new athletic director? Jimmy, John and Darion discuss the need for a leader who can generate revenue, embrace NIL and revenue sharing, build stronger relationships throughout Birmingham, communicate effectively with fans, advocate aggressively for UAB and help turn community support into greater resources, attendance and ultimately wins. Topics include: • Mark Ingram's departure after 11 years • The successes and shortcomings of his tenure • Bill Clark and UAB football • Coaching hires and searches • NIL, revenue sharing and fundraising • Communication with fans and the Birmingham community • Institutional support for UAB Athletics • What UAB needs from its next athletic director • UAB fan feedback on the AD search Subscribe to Blazer Victory for UAB football, basketball, recruiting and athletics coverage. #UAB #UABFootball #GoBlazers #CollegeFootball

Football chooses us. We chase the highs. And one day… the game ends. But before the final whistle, there's a lifetime to relive. Host Ryan Walters places players in the tunnel moments before a World Cup Final, where their careers flash before their eyes. Matches, milestones, moments, mistakes, people. This is football in full life. In full vision. This is Tunnel Vision. In this episode, Ryan chats with reigning V.League 1 champion Stefan Mauk to explore what life is really like as a professional footballer abroad. From Australia to Holland to Japan to Vietnam, Stefan reflects on the experiences, challenges and perspectives that have shaped his career on and off the pitch. They dive into:
Why are companies investing heavily in AI, analytics, and data platforms while business leaders still struggle to see what is happening across their operations quickly enough to make confident decisions? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Massimo Merlo, Vice President for UK, Iberia, and Italy at Elastic, about why the next stage of enterprise AI adoption will depend less on who deploys the most advanced models and more on which companies can give people and AI systems access to relevant, trusted, and secure information when decisions need to be made. Massimo describes the problem as a lack of decision-grade visibility. Most large companies are not short of data. They have spent decades building data platforms, analytics systems, dashboards, cloud infrastructure, and reporting tools. Yet information remains fragmented across departments and applications, insights arrive too late, and employees often struggle to find the small amount of information that matters among enormous volumes of data. The result is a growing gap between having information and being able to act on it. Massimo explains why simply adding an AI model to this environment does not solve the underlying problem. If an AI system is connected to fragmented, outdated, poorly governed, or irrelevant information, it can produce convincing answers without providing reliable business outcomes. The quality of an AI model matters, but the context available to that model increasingly determines whether AI becomes a useful business asset or an operational liability. This leads to one of the biggest technology conversations emerging around enterprise AI: context engineering. Massimo explains how context engineering provides AI systems with the relevant data, tools, permissions, organizational knowledge, and guardrails required to complete a task safely. Rather than sending ever-larger volumes of information to AI models, companies need infrastructure capable of retrieving the right information and making it available at the moment a person or software agent needs to act. Fraud detection provides a practical example. An AI agent evaluating a transaction needs more than access to a powerful model. It requires customer history, behavioral patterns, company risk thresholds, permissions, compliance requirements, and the ability to recognize activity that falls outside normal behavior. Without that context, the system could block legitimate customers or approve fraudulent transactions while presenting its decision with complete confidence. We also discuss why digitally mature companies can still struggle with real-time decision-making. Massimo shares lessons from Elastic's work with organizations including Reed, the Met Office, and Rightmove, explaining why having sophisticated technology systems does not automatically make a company context mature. Information can still remain trapped between applications, teams, and databases, preventing employees and AI agents from seeing the complete picture when it matters. The conversation challenges another long-standing enterprise technology habit: adding more dashboards. Massimo explains why dashboards often provide visibility into what has already happened without helping people decide what to do next. Companies can continue adding reporting layers while employees become overwhelmed by information and remain unable to identify the actions that will improve customer experience, productivity, security, or business performance. A healthcare example demonstrates what becomes possible when companies solve this problem. Massimo shares how CogStack at King's College Hospital brought together unstructured patient information during the COVID-19 pandemic and made it searchable using natural language processing. Clinicians could find relevant information without waiting for technical teams to build new queries or systems, helping medical professionals access information when patient decisions needed to be made. For CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, data leaders, and technology teams trying to improve AI ROI, Massimo offers practical advice on where to begin. Do not start with another model, tool, or dashboard. Start with a business decision or workflow that is currently too slow, unreliable, or difficult to execute. Identify what information that decision requires, where the data is stored, who or what system needs access to it, which permissions should apply, and where information currently becomes delayed or disconnected. That process can reveal the visibility gaps preventing companies from turning their existing data and AI investments into measurable results. We also examine why search and retrieval are becoming infrastructure concerns for companies introducing AI agents. As software agents begin making recommendations and taking actions across business systems, their performance will depend on whether they can securely retrieve relevant information at scale. For business and technology leaders facing pressure to demonstrate returns from AI investment, this conversation provides a practical framework for improving enterprise search, context engineering, AI agent reliability, real-time operational visibility, and decision-making. The companies that gain the greatest value from AI may not be those collecting the most data or deploying the most models. They will be the companies capable of finding what matters, understanding its context, and getting trusted information to people and AI systems quickly enough to act on it. That is where better visibility can become better decisions, stronger productivity, and business growth.

Hour 4: The NBA draft is finally here, and the Golden State Warriors made a splash by selecting Yaxel Lendeborg from the University of Michigan with the 11th overall pick. But was it the right move? In this episode, the hosts dive into the details of the draft and discuss the implications of the Warriors' decision. The conversation starts with a discussion of the draft's first round, where the hosts analyze the Warriors' pick and compare it to other teams' selections. They also touch on the topic of the NBA's draft process, including the importance of maximizing the value of the 11th pick and the challenges of making trades on draft night. The hosts also share their thoughts on the Warriors' draft strategy and how it might impact the team's future. One of the key points of discussion is the idea that the Warriors' pick of Llendeborg might not be a "star" player, but rather a "useful" one. The hosts argue that this is a more realistic expectation for a team that's not picking in the top three. They also discuss the importance of finding players who can fit seamlessly into the team's system and contribute right away. If you're a fan of the Warriors or just interested in the NBA draft, this episode is a must-listen. The hosts provide insightful analysis and commentary on the latest developments in the world of basketball.

Four days. Twenty-four firms. $4.5 trillion in controlled assets. Here is what Frank and Stacey took away from Elite Ignite 2026. Frank LaRosa and Stacey Frank are back in the studio for the first time in about six weeks and they are using this episode to do something they have never done quite like this before: open up the room. Elite Ignite started five years ago as an internal team meeting. It grew into a broker dealer and RIA conference unlike anything else in the industry. No deals discussed. No transition packages on the table. Just firms coming in, laying their swords down and getting to work. Frank and Stacey walk through the standout sessions and conversations from the 2026 conference held in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. They explain why working with 65 to 80 firms is not a liability but a strategic necessity, why 85% of what firms offer is essentially the same and why the remaining 15% is what Elite is built around understanding and how the conference is designed to make every advisor placement a deliberate decision rather than a convenient one. They get candid about the Good Firm Bad Firm Recruiter panel, where firm recruiters heard directly from Frank about what professional courtesy looks like when an advisor takes time away from their family to explore a transition. They also talk through the growing AI conversation among financial services firms, why the pro forma model Frank has been building for 15 years stopped every firm in the room and what it means that some firms walked out of the conference and immediately started rewriting their 2026 growth strategy. The full Elite Ignite 2026 Insight Report is available at eliteconsultingpartners.com/2026-ignite-recap Questions answered in this episode include: What was Elite Ignite 2026 and who attended? How does Elite Consulting Partners decide which firms to work with and recommend to advisors? Why do advisors get confused when comparing offers from multiple firms, and how does Elite solve that? What did the Good Firm Bad Firm Recruiter panel reveal about how firm recruiters approach advisors? How are broker dealers and RIAs using AI to support financial advisor growth right now? Why doesn't Elite invite financial advisors to the conference, and will that change? What does it mean to make the right move instead of just the next move?
