The collaboration between fintech innovators and financial advisors not only drives innovation but significantly enhances the overall client experience, revolutionizing the way financial services are delivered and received. However, it is not merely about adopting technology. It's about being purposeful in adopting new technology and seeking solutions that align with the specific needs of their business.

George and Ryan talk to Rusty and Robyn about disruptive trends, top tech features, and how advisors can leverage fintech to stay ahead of the curve. They highlight the impact of fintech on financial service providers and the importance of integration and seamless workflows for advisors. George and Ryan also discuss how emerging technologies change how advisors operate and deliver value.
