Lex interviews David Snider - founder and CEO of Harness Wealth. David shares his extensive fintech journey, including his pivotal role at Compass, a real estate technology firm. He discusses the challenges of aligning agents with new technology and the evolution of Compass's business model to empower agents with better tools and incentives. Transitioning to Harness Wealth, David explains his vision to enhance tax advisory services through a modern platform, addressing complex financial needs. The episode underscores the importance of innovation and human expertise in fintech and real estate. Notable discussion points: Empowering Advisors in Complex Industries: David Snider has built platforms that enhance human advisors rather than replace them—first in real estate with Compass - a technology-powered real estate brokerage, now in tax with Harness Wealth. In industries with high complexity and large transaction sizes, like wealth management and real estate, human expertise remains essential. His approach emphasizes that technology should enable, not displace, trusted advisors. Compass Pivoted to Power Top Agents: Compass began with a plan to disrupt real estate agents but pivoted to support top performers with better tech and economics. This shift—paired with smart execution—enabled rapid growth and market leadership by focusing on high-value agents and transactions, rather than cutting them out of the process. Harness Wealth Modernizes Complex Tax Advisory: Harness Wealth applies a Compass-like model to tax, serving clients with equity comp, crypto, and private investments by connecting them to top advisors through a modern, tech-enabled experience. The platform improves both advisor workflows and client usability, targeting a large, underserved market that DIY tools can't effectively serve. MENTIONED IN THE CONVERSATION Topics: Fintech, Harness Wealth, Compass, AI, RealEstate, Platform-As-A-Service, Advisory, Data, Tax, WealthTech, TaxTech, CryptoTax, PersonalFinance, FinancialAdvisors ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

WealthTech in the Weeds is a series covering the broad yet critical path to financial services. The goal is to get together with industry experts and get into the details of building an effective, productive, coordinated, and comprehensive advice system. Comprehensive advice platforms have been a significant development in wealth management. They streamline portfolio management, optimize returns, and enhance investors' financial efficiency. However, implementing these platforms has its challenges. As technology continues to reshape the industry, the lessons and experiences learned from early adopters provide invaluable insights that significantly impact the industry's future and empower investors to achieve their financial goals.

He builds modern wealth management systems that deliver better client outcomes and embraces goals-based investing. Martin is the Chief Product Officer at LifeYield and has more than 14 years of experience building comprehensive wealth management platforms. In his role, Martin oversees product strategy for portfolio rebalancing, tax optimization, and retirement income, using LifeYield's API-first product suite to address a wide range of client needs.

Eric and Martin talk with Jack about the challenges, benefits, and lessons learned from building comprehensive advice platforms. They dive into the importance of multi-account management, asset location, and tax optimization in improving clients' financial outcomes. The conversation also touches on the operational aspects of implementing these platforms and the need for integration and coordination across different systems.  In this episode: [02:25] -The challenges and goals of building a modern wealth management system.

Quotes [02:54] - "We're currently in a world where lots of products and programs have been built vertically over time. How do you start to think horizontally from an advisor standpoint? The biggest mental shift is just moving from an account-based structure to a relationship-based one." ~ Eric Lordi [10:17] - "Coordinating isn't just about getting the sum of the parts and then working with them. It's about recognizing that some parts fit together better than others." ~ Martin Cowley [14:08] - "Tax management isn't just tax slots. It's the location and having a machine that is not dependent on underlying trading systems but looks across all these things as holdings that we can score anywhere." ~ Eric Lordi [30:47] - "Everything we've done has to be flexible because we are looking across multiple companies and client firms. It doesn't have to all be stitched tightly on day one. Those walls aren't going to break down overnight.

The more you can get a client's goals to match their investment solutions, the higher the probability that they're going to stick with their investments over the long run." ~ Ted Dimig [11:42] - "You want to build your ecosystem in a way that is easy to explain to the client. Being able to explain to them the savings and why you're doing certain things reduces the trading that you have to do." ~ Mark Hoffman [17:11] - "Technology allows you to be more holistic. It allows you to make all the connections and to do things right. And that frees up the advisor to have a conversation at the client's own level." ~ Mark Hoffman [26:06] - "You need to embrace technology if you want to be a winner in the personalization space, in the end-to-end client investment journey, and in the tax space. So those who don't adopt will be left behind." ~ Ted Dimig Links  Ted Dimig on LinkedIn Mark Hoffman on LinkedIn J.P.

In the case of financial planning systems, ultimately, they're not connected to trading systems or the managed programs necessary to implement their advice." ~ Mark Hoffman [12:40] - "Taxes aren't just a transactional aspect of managing investment. It's about location as well. So, having the ability to set the accounts up, bring them all together, and align the assets properly to both tax-deferred and tax-free accounts is critical." ~ Charles Smith [31:05] - "Tax is an important part of wealth, and a lot of advisors don't know enough about it." -Charles Smith Links  Charles Smith on LinkedIn EY Mark Hoffman on LinkedIn Modern Wealth Vanguard Morningstar EY Tax Desk Connect with our hosts LifeYield Jack Sharry on LinkedIn Jack Sharry on Twitter Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify LinkedIn Twitter Facebook

WealthTech in the Weeds is a new series covering the broad yet critical path to financial services. The goal is to get together with industry experts and get into the details of building an effective, productive, coordinated, and comprehensive advice system.  In the past, financial services focused on managing individual accounts in silos. This fragmented approach limited advisors' ability to minimize tax burdens and convert assets into sustainable income streams, especially in retirement. However, as the industry evolves, advisors and investors recognize the importance of creating comprehensive advice platforms. The challenge lies in operationalizing these platforms to allow advisors to translate financial plans into actionable strategies. In this episode, Jack talks with Rose Palazzo. Rose is the Group President of Envestnet | MoneyGuide and has extensive experience building comprehensive advice platforms. She previously led financial planning at Morgan Stanley and played a key role in developing the firm's industry-leading comprehensive advice platform. Rose is known for her expertise in personalized advice and coordinating planning conversations with technology platforms. Mark Hoffman, CEO, Chairman, and Founder at LifeYield, joins Jack and Rose. Mark has more than 25 years of experience as an executive at public organizations, including State Street, Fiserv, and Colonial Management. He is also the founder of three financial technology firms: LifeYield, Upstream Technologies, and Lattice Trading. Jack talks with Rose and Mark about the role of financial planning in building comprehensive advice platforms. They discuss how to turn a financial plan into actions that improve results and the challenges that come with it. Key Takeaways [03:09] - How Rose develops comprehensive advisory platforms for firms.

[25:32] - Prioritization and starting with the end goal in mind. [30:27] - What Morgan Stanley's Intelligent Withdrawals is about. [34:08] - Rose's and Mark's key takeaways. Quotes [04:19] - "We no longer see planning as a one-time event that advisors engage in. It really is more of an ongoing planning where you're having that initial conversation, understanding a client's goals, and connecting that to all the conversations folks are having." ~ Rose Palazzo [23:52] - "It [operationalizing a comprehensive advice platform] is like putting together a puzzle. It doesn't really matter where you start or what pieces you find that go together. It's all going to be complementary to the end goal." ~ Mark Hoffman [34:17] - "There's this increased focus on personalized advice, which starts with the client's objectives. The coordination between platforms is what's really required to get to that next level of advice." ~ Rose Palazzo [35:12] - "If you're coordinating all the client's accounts and assets and focus on understanding that client's goals, then you get to do asset location. And asset location is a dominant part of tax alpha." ~ Mark Hoffman Links  Rose Palazzo on LinkedIn Mark Hoffman on LinkedIn MoneyGuidePro Morgan Stanley Paul Samuelson James Gorman 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 re-run of Best of Panic, I had been dying to get Jan on the podcast. After my brief podcast break, I decided to have a lot of my friends on – people I like talking to about markets. Jan will always be one of those people. He's super smart and well educated. I'm in the lucky position where I don't have to be in the market, but because I'm fascinated by markets, started Stocktwits, love talking about them, and want to continue banging out some alpha, I invited Jan on the podcast.  We had a great discussion about debt. We talk about money flows, and while Jan wasn't the earliest, but early enough with directionally putting his firm on a path towards crypto, he had a lot of neat insights there as well. As was true then and is true now, people need to be thinking about the market in just a little different way than what worked in the past.  Guest - Jan van Eck, CEO at VanEck Securities Corporation  howardlindzon.com, vaneck.com  Twitter: @howardlindzon, @PanicwFriends, @JanvanEck3, @VanEck_US, @knutjensen  linkedin.com/in/janfvaneck #fintech #invest #investment #venturecapital #stockmarket #finance  Show Notes: Introduction (00:39) Welcome Jan (04:02) Growing a mature business (04:52) History is a teacher (07:73) Becoming a ‘Macro Structuralist' (12:58) Lessons from the 1970s (14:49) The right way to view inflation (15:17) Bonds outperform stocks (16:54) Will the Fed pivot?
