How AI Can Give Financial Advisors 10 Hours a Week Back (Ep. 60)
Are you using AI to get time back or just finding new ways to stay busy?
In this episode, Matt Halloran, Chief Evangelist at Zocks and author of Shut the F Up and Listen, joins the show to explore how AI note-taking tools are giving financial advisors real, measurable time back—and why most advisors don't know what to do with it when they get it.
Listen in to learn the biggest barrier to AI adoption and how reimagining your daily routine can open the door to deeper client relationships, better well-being, and a more sustainable practice.
Matt shares:
- Why financial advisors still face a public perception gap despite the depth of their work.
- How the great wealth transfer is pushing advisors to become whole-family advisors.
- Why advisors fill their freed-up time with busy work and the psychology behind it.
- How to move through the discomfort of change when AI disrupts your equilibrium.
- Why your tech stack determines whether AI is even a good fit for your firm.
- The Trade-Off Law: what you must be willing to give up to get what you truly want.
