Is the tail wagging the dog in the advice business? Tech over Advisor? Advisor over Tech?  


In this episode, Adam Holt & Derek Notman chat with fintech icon Brian McLaughlin, former founder and CEO of Redtail CRM, Orion Tech Board Member, and fellow REBL Dad. Join us as we discuss the massive opportunity advisors and fintechs have to make people live better, the AI and rapid consolidation advisors don’t see coming, and the importance of leaning into tech.



Brian discusses:


  • How advisors need to ask questions about integrations
  • The perception that integration is a requirement
  • The importance of training on tech for the entire team
  • Selling through education and problem solving
  • The failure to serve the average American customer in a profitable manner
  • And much more!
