    [03:47] - "There are a lot of people that have created a significant amount of success. They weren't worried about whether they could meet their retirement goals. They worried about the complexity." ~ Adam Holt

    [05:27] - "When you think about financial decisions, what's the most important thing? It's not the finances. It's the people." ~ Adam Holt

    [14:23] - "Advisors who start to adopt these tools (technology and AI) and find ways to deliver more of themselves to their customers are going to dominate and gather more assets. They're going to scale, they might have margin compression, and they're going to win long-term." ~ Adam Holt
