Ever wonder how a seventh-grade love for architecture could inform a successful career in finance?

In today's episode of Connected, we talk with Adam Holt, CEO of Asset-Map, about his passion for architecture and how it has influenced his approach to financial planning, as well as insights on connecting with people around shared values and common interests. We talk about the growth of Asset-Map, the highs and lows of building a financial services firm, as well as the world of analytics and the critical role of data aggregation for advisors.

Key Takeaways

Quotes

"Some of the things that I've learned and adopted include the idea that everybody has to have equity. Every employee has equity in Asset-Map. They are an owner, they are part of it. Their job is to protect the baby at all costs. Why? Because they have an interest in its protection." - Adam Holt

"The idea of visualization for everything that's going on in your household without judgment is an important aspect. Just like an X-ray doesn't have any feelings, right? They're trying to diagnose your problem. And so we found that by actually creating this process where we could create your X-ray was a better way to really engage and connect in a place where there's not a lot of natural connection currency." - Adam Holt

“What does it take to build connections with people? It takes rapport, common interests, common values, and an alignment of where you want to go in a relationship.” - Adam Holt
