Michael Kitces, Head of Planning Strategy at Focus Partners Wealth, Co-Founder of XY Planning Network, and one of the industry's most recognized voices, joins Sean Walters on this episode of The Exceptional Advisor for a "This Or That" conversation on:

• Investments or wealth? Firms do both, but individual advisors are increasingly specializing in one or the other as investment management centralizes.

• Solo or team? Both paths are thriving, and it has never been more profitable or easier to run as a solo advisor, despite what mega firms want you to believe.

• Utopian or dystopian? Why Kitces is bullish on advice, even as AI raises the bar for everyone.

It's a wide-ranging conversation with one of the sharpest minds in the business and a must-listen for advisors.
