A growth mindset is crucial for companies and individuals operating in the wealth and asset management space. This week’s guest on the WealthTech on Deck podcast, Tim Williams, works to help industry professionals advance their careers in his role as EVP of Education Initiatives at the Money Management Institute. Tim’s recipe for career growth consists of three main ingredients: avoid the pitfalls of “short-termism,” expand your network to connect with other innovators, and learn from the industry’s past to shape its future. Above all, remember that “what got you here is not going to get you there,” and maintain a constant focus on advancing your skill set. https://lnkd.in/eYa8Fksr

Build, buy, or partner? That’s what technology, product, and service decisions often come down to in wealth and asset management. Future success will depend on companies lowering of their ramparts and rethinking what they do and why they do it, says this week’s guest on the WealthTech on Deck podcast. “You may actually have to engage with what has historically been a competitor,” Mike Lee, global wealth and asset manager leader at EY, told host Jack Sharry. “At the end of the day, the organization will be in a better spot by doing it this way versus the desire to build and own everything on your own.” Listen to hear more from Lee about trends defining wealth and asset management today. https://lnkd.in/dkGHjNUU

Financial advisors respond to the bell of major client life events — marriage, births, divorce, launching a young adult, and retirement. What many can’t do in those situations is provide practical advice on one of the clients’ major financial concerns—healthcare costs, including insurance. This week’s guest on WealthTech on Deck is Christine Simone, CEO and co-founder of Caribou Wealth. She described for host Jack Sharry how Caribou technology helps advisors identify clients’ best options for insurance coverage, taking into account their medical, dental, and vision needs. Real money is at stake, whether clients choose a health plan at work, through an insurance exchange, or Medicare. Simone said Caribou helps clients save an average of $6,600 a year. Listen to find out how. https://lnkd.in/e2kxYDuV

Some guests have stories that demand more time than a podcast allows. Erich Holland, head of sales and experience for SEI’s advisor business, was that kind of guest. His telling of the 56-year history of SEI, a multinational company, and its focus today on the confluence of digital and human advice motivated host Jack Sharry to write more about the company in FA Magazine. https://lnkd.in/eTisuu-v
