Data is at the heart of every organization, and the ability to effectively collect, store, and analyze data is critical to success. Yet, for many financial firms, data is scattered across different silos, making it difficult to get a comprehensive view of their customers and business operations. While data can only be useful if properly organized and accessible, how can financial services integrate data to power applications, analytics, and decision-making? In this episode, Jack talks with Kyle Van Pelt, Chief Executive Officer at Milemarker. Kyle joined Milemarker through Skience, where he was the Executive Vice President of Sales. Before his role at Skience, Kyle was a Solutions Manager at SS&C Advent and the Vice President of Partnerships at Riskalyze. His wealth of knowledge in the financial services industry and his passion for technology position him as the right leader to take Milemarker into its next era of growth and development. Kyle talks with Jack about how he developed expertise in financial services, what sets Milemarker apart from other advisory platforms, and how to make multi-account unified managed households a reality. Key Takeaways [01:03] - How Milemarker helps clients and advisors. [02:57] - How Kyle developed expertise in financial services. [06:23] - The source of Kyle's motivation and enthusiasm. [08:55] - What sets Milemarker apart from other advisory platforms. [12:20] - Milemarker's ideal clients.  [15:25] - What Milemarker has in store for the future. [19:22] - Kyle's thoughts on the trends to pay attention to for financial firms.  [21:47] - Making multi-account unified managed households a reality. [28:59] - Kyle's three key takeaways. [31:09] - How Kyle serves his community. Quotes [08:13] - "I have a thirst for learning about things. I have an addictive personality, and once something gets into my brain, I have to know as much about it as possible. And that's the DNA inside of me." ~ Kyle Van Pelt [09:29] - "There's about 80% that every firm shares in common. And then there's this 20% of an advisory firm's business that makes the firm unique." ~ Kyle Van Pelt [20:20] - "You can't have personalization without proper data. If the data are in different silos and all over the place, it's hard to do any level of personalization." ~ Kyle Van Pelt [24:04] - "The best thing that can happen for unified managed household, personalization, etc., is for people to pick their core competency, the thing they're really great at, the part of the stack they want to own, and own it.” ~ Kyle Van Pelt Links  Kyle Van Pelt on LinkedIn Milemarker Envestnet Black Diamond Asset Management Addepar Orion Advisor Solutions Riskalyze Skience New Orleans Pelicans Michael Kitces Jud Mackrill Kim Mackrill Morgan Stanley Carson Group Uber Lyft Randy Bullard WealthDesk Hungry For A Day Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

The chief product officer for Skience talks about the importance of centralized data and why the human touch is the most important part of fintech.

The digital landscape is constantly transforming the way we do business. Proper implementation doesn't lose sight of the human touch, whether that means giving clients a more personal experience or giving advisors a better work/life balance.  In this episode, Ali and Sanjeev talk with Jon Feinstein, Relationship Manager at Skience. Throughout his career, Jon has had a ringside seat to watch CRM's impact on the industry, the people who work within it, and the clients it serves.  Jon talks with Ali and Sanjeev about how to make the digital journey smooth for firms and clients alike, what is at the foundation of a successful implementation, and barriers to success.  Key Takeaways [02:15] - Why understanding the human element is critical in all industries. [06:31] - How we can use technology to further our goals as advisors and bring value to those we serve. [10:50] - What is the foundation of a CRM system. [12:30] - How organizations can rethink their digital journey. [15:02] - How to find value not just for the client and the organization but the industry as well. [19:29] - How a reset can help you rediscover the intentionality of your business. [23:12] - The biggest barrier to successful digital integration. Quotes [07:05] - "We want to grow assets under management. We want to grow assets under administration. We want our advisors to become more efficient. We want to grow market share. And so the point of digital transformation exercises isn't to go digital but organizations can measure their digital maturity in part by assessing progress made into digital transformation across a few dimensions and as well as the ROI from those investments." ~ Jon Feinstein [10:50] - "I think when you think about CRM, I think for any successful implementation, it starts with a strong foundation of data. Data is absolutely essential. The quality of the data, the cleanliness of the data, because that's really the foundation that flows into all of the systems, CRM or otherwise." ~ Jon Feinstein [15:02] - Whether you're a product manufacturer or a wealth management or asset management firm, or a software company, you name it, we want to create value, and we need to think of value in terms of not just the organization but what value will be derived by the industry." ~ Jon Feinstein Links  Jon Feinstein on LinkedIn Connect with our hosts Ali McCarthy Sanjeev Kumar Skience Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts

The market is flooded with financial data. Firms are sitting on goldmines of information, yet most are not deriving maximum value from it. To unlock this value, data integration is key. It enables different systems, including those used by advisors and their clients, to communicate with each other. By having all of the data centralized in one place and accessible by all relevant systems, firms are able to gain a holistic view of their clients and their portfolios. Only then can they deliver truly excellent customer experiences. In this episode, Tommy talks with Kyle Van Pelt, CEO at Milemarker, an Integration as a Service (IaaS) company that delivers a fully-managed data integration platform for financial services companies. Prior to joining Milemarker, Kyle held leadership positions with several advisor tech companies, including wealth management platform Skience and risk management software Riskalyze.  Kyle talks with Tommy about how technology integration is a challenge for advisory businesses and how Milemarker can help solve it, new developments taking place in the wealth management industry, and why data integration is key to delivering excellent client and advisor experiences. Key Takeaways [01:57] - How Kyle began his professional career. [03:58] - Kyle's journey into the fintech and wealth tech industries. [05:39] - What cold calling is and how it works. [09:28] - How Kyle developed his expertise in wealth technology. [12:50] - How technology integration is a challenge for advisory businesses. [14:37] - How Milemarker solves data integration problems among financial services companies. [15:46] - An example of how an API (Application Programming Interface) works. [19:04] - What developments have been taking place in the wealth management industry. [23:05] - The power of data in delivering excellent advisor and client experiences. [26:29] - What Kyle learned from college sports setbacks. Quotes [13:48] - "Every financial advisor at the end of the day, their business is how well they serve their clients. So, when your technology is not talking to itself the way that you need it to, these firms cannot accurately represent themselves the way that they want to to clients and to prospective clients ultimately because they are not in control of their own data journey." - Kyle Van Pelt [22:27] - "We like to say at Milemarker, it's your data, your rules. If you have all of that at your control, you can write the rules about what type of client experience you want to build, what type of advisor experience you want to build, and what type of executive experience you want to build." - Kyle Van Pelt [25:02] - "You shouldn't be driving around with a foggy windshield in your business. You shouldn't be driving around without being able to answer the strategic questions. Your data, your rules." - Kyle Van Pelt Links  Kyle Van Pelt on LinkedIn Milemarker Pelicans Liberty University Riskalyze Mammoth.vc Black Diamond Planners Skience Jud Mackrill Kim Mackrill Orion Advisor Technology Uber Twilio Amazon Redshift Envestnet Vestia Personal Wealth Advisors Hightower Advisors Connect with our hosts Mammoth Tommy on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Learn more about Mammoth Scientific's Health & Tech Fund 1 When you move beyond the point of making sure your retirement goals are on track, your investment opportunities are wider than just publicly traded funds.

CRM implementation is never a one-size-fits-all process. No two organizations are alike, which is why CRM implementation can be a unique process for each one. A CRM system that works well for one business might not work well for another. What are some of the factors that need to be considered when implementing CRM? In today's episode Ali and Sanjeev talk with Greg Starr, Senior Vice President of Salesforce Services at Skience, an industry-leading wealth management platform that streamlines and automates time-consuming, error-prone business processes. As a management and technology consultant for most of his career, Greg has led change initiatives for dozens of organizations. As the head of Skience's Salesforce Services division, he leads a team of professionals with expertise in management and technology consulting, Salesforce implementation, and financial services. Greg talks with Ali and Sanjeev about Skience's Blueprint and how it helps wealth management firms, how to overcome the challenges of digital transformation, and why user experience and user value are equally important in CRM implementation. Key Takeaways [01:40] - Greg's rich background in wealth management. [02:26] - Skience Blueprint: what it is and how it helps wealth management firms. [05:28] - Why it's important to “crawl, walk, run”. [08:00] - The factors to consider when planning a CRM implementation. [12:11] - How to overcome challenges associated with digital transformation. [18:11] - How to take human factors into consideration during digital transformation. [20:57] - Why user experience and user value are equally important in CRM implementation. [23:35] - Greg's favorite things to do outside of work. Quotes [07:08] - "Perfect is the enemy of good. Sometimes a step back can be needed before you take two steps forward. A lot of projects fail because they go too long without showing value. So, the concept behind 'crawl, walk, run' is to get the value quickly and continue to show value quickly." - Greg Starr [17:11] - "Thinking about the process from the perspective of the user or from the perspective of the advisor and being advisor-centric is how we go about implementation. Thinking about it from an advisor-centric point of view can result in a very different solution." - Greg Starr [18:36] - "Starting with your CRM implementation or your digital transformation at the beginning and thinking about the human element is a critical piece that often gets overlooked. I think a lot of firms think of that just in terms of training after the fact, rather than thinking about using methodologies starting from day one, assessing the impact of the change." - Greg Starr Links  Greg Starr on LinkedIn Salesforce Ali McCarthy Email Connect with our hosts Ali McCarthy  Sanjeev Kumar Skience Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts

CRM is revolutionizing the way companies operate by centralizing data management. For financial advisors, this shift presents a huge opportunity to streamline their operations and provide better service to their clients.

In this episode, Sanjeev and Paige talk with Brian McLaughlin, CEO and CTO of Redtail, a leader in web-based CRM solutions for financial advisors. Brian McLaughlin believed from the beginning that their CRM solution could satisfy an unmet need in the industry — a web-based CRM to provide advisors anytime, anywhere access to their client and calendar data. He is passionate about the solutions the company provides to its community of subscribers. Brian is also dedicated to continually improving Redtail CRM for advisors through innovation and creativity.

Quotes [10:23] - "The core mantra at Redtail is to build raving fans. And I think one of the reasons why we've got a lot of success over the years in the advisory space is really how we exhibit best behaviors and best practices around community culture." - Brian McLaughlin [12:33] - "Find something you love, something you do every day that you just have so much passion for that you don't count the hours. And then you figure out how to make money doing it." - Brian McLaughlin [22:49] - "The CRM to me has always been the right spot. It's the golden source of truth of your data. It's the master record." - Brian McLaughlin Links  Brian McLaughlin on LinkedIn Redtail Technology Salesforce GoldMine CRM Act!

Dedicated to building a platform for advisors, he has seen how RIA businesses have grown from the ground up. George talks with Paige and Sanjeev about his outstanding contributions to the world of financial technology, CRM as a building block for most businesses, and what he enjoys now in the wealth management industry.

Whether it's in life sciences, managing customer relationships for marketing and big data, or managing customer relationships, they're going to be using CRM." - George Baumgarten [23:34] - "I'd like to think of innovation as some huge spark. But a lot of it is trying to see what is the marketplace doing, what a customer wants. Then try once, and if it doesn't work, try a second time and keep on trying. That's super important as far as innovation goes." - George Baumgarten Links  George Baumgarten on LinkedIn Fidelity Salesforce Oracle Larry Ellison TD Ameritrade Carson Group Connect with our hosts Paige Johnson Sanjeev Kumar Skience Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts

In this episode, Paige Johnson and Sanjeev Kumar talk with Leslie Page, a business analyst at Skience. Leslie has been in the CRM world since 1998. She started her career as a subject expert for ACT Migration, worked for Siebel, and then did proposal writing for Oracle. Leslie has witnessed how CRM has evolved and how it has made a huge difference in organizations. Leslie talks with Paige and Sanjeev about the No. 1 killer of tech adoption, the impact of CRM and other tools in firms, and the future of CRM and predictive analytics. [27:20] - "CRM is not meant initially to be at least sexy. You start once you have the maturity and the adoption of being able to use the predictive side so that you can guide your people. The organizations should be working on the most important things. It's really exciting for our users—they see it as a game-changer.” ~ Leslie Page Main Takeaways  [06:49] - A lot of firms are still stuck with manual processes. Deciding on the tech stack takes a lot more time than the implementation for some firms. They recognize the possibilities of automation, but they have a difficult time adopting it. [10:24] - It's easy to find and introduce a solution when everything's aligned from top to bottom, and vice versa. [15:53] - The top killers of adoption are inefficient data consolidation, disorganized organizational change management, and abrupt product implementation. [25:07] - Effective data governance is vital. Without a single source for all systems, data inconsistencies are likely. [26:35] - The future is bright for CRM. There will be a focus on predictive analytics, and being able to extend that valuable information to other systems.

"And while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my friends... the Word did everything."—Martin Luther We welcome to the programme Rev Phill Sacre—an ordained minister in the Church of England and host of the YouTube channel "Phill Sacre : Making Sense of the World from a Christian Perspective"—for a conversation on "COVID and the Churches". How have most of the UK churches responded to the seemingly endless stream of diktats issuing from government? Have such "rules" been submitted to adequate rational and theological questioning? Or have the churches too often been content simply to toe the line because that has seemed like "the right thing to do"? But has that always been "the right thing to do?" (Part Two will be recorded in a few weeks from now.) "Phill is a Christian minister. He is ordained in the Church of England and serves on a part-time basis in a parish on the Essex coast. The remainder of his time he devotes to his online ministries: Understand the Bible and Phill Sacre : Making Sense of the World from a Christian Perspective (on YouTube)."

For this exclusive interview with TMR, we are joined by Dr Malcam B Splead—Head of Snow Studies in the University of Devizes, UK, for an in-depth conversation on the intriguing subject of The Snowosphere, a hitherto much neglected topic in the field of Snow Studies, but one that is quietly gaining attention in the halls of scientific academia. Under the right conditions, snow simply "falls" to the ground. Or does it? But what if this so-called "falling" should turn out to be merely a feature of human perception? What if, contrary to all expectations, this oh-so-familiar phenomenon should best be explained by counterintuitive interactions between the Earth itself and this strange, neglected entity - The Snowosphere? As Dr Iain Livermore explains: "Should a scientific consensus on the matter be finally reached, Snowosphere Theory not only promises to revolutionise the discipline of snowology, it may even come to challenge our ideas about gravity, mass and the role of mathematics in the description of empirical observations."
