  • Inside the Flows - Episode 10

    Inside this episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu and Juan Vallejo step back to assess how rapidly AI is reshaping the operating model across industries, from the massive capital being deployed into infrastructure to what that means for productivity, cost structures, and long term competitive positioning. They frame AI not as a distant concept, but as a real time shift that advisors and firms should be paying attention to now, particularly as timelines for innovation continue to compress.

    The conversation then moves into a practical lens on how AI is actually being used to build and scale a business, highlighting how pairing domain expertise with AI agents can dramatically accelerate output while still requiring oversight, judgment, and process discipline. For advisors, the takeaway is clear: AI is far more likely to augment high quality practitioners than replace them, with the potential to enhance research, monitoring, and decision support in ways that mirror a highly efficient junior analyst working continuously in the background.

  • Inside the Flows - Episode 9

    Inside Episode 9 of Inside the Flows, we break down a week that shows just how quickly the industry is evolving, from advisor movement across firms to rising investment in AI and its real impact on jobs and cost structures. We also explore how asset managers like Capital Group are leaning in to support advisors more directly, signaling a shift toward deeper partnerships as demand grows and competition intensifies.

    We then turn to private credit, focusing on illiquidity risk, client psychology, and what happens when investors want out during uncertain markets. We unpack how advisors can navigate these moments, manage expectations, and reinforce discipline as more retail investors enter private markets without fully understanding the tradeoffs.

  • Inside the Flows - Episode 8

    Inside this special episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu sits down with Ryan Chand to explore how advisors can better position themselves for the next generation of wealth, starting with lessons from the Future Proof Citywide event and a growing wave of younger, entrepreneurial advisors entering the industry. They discuss how shifting wealth dynamics, rising high net worth households, and the influence of digital platforms are reshaping how advisors connect, build trust, and stay relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape.

    The conversation then turns to a deeper, more reflective discussion inspired by Ryan’s “Think With Ryan” newsletter, focusing on the idea that “nearly” is not enough when it comes to financial planning and life decisions. They emphasize the importance of slowing down, being intentional, and addressing affordability and financial tradeoffs early, rather than waiting for the perfect moment that never comes, offering a grounded perspective on how individuals and households can take control of their financial future.
