Artificial intelligence is shaking up wealth management, but how do you separate hype from what’s actually useful? 

In this episode, Chip Kispert sits down with Geoff Moore, Chief Information Officer at ValMark Securities, to talk about how his firm is weaving AI into real processes without losing sight of what matters most: people. 

From early wins with AI-powered document extraction to advisors reclaiming hours of family time and personal time thanks to AI note-taking tools, Geoff shares both the breakthroughs and the challenges of moving from proof of concept to production.

What to expect:

• Early wins and cautionary lessons with AI adoption
• How Compliance leaders can embrace, not fear, new tech
• Why context management is the next big frontier
• Real stories of efficiency translating into quality of life
• And more!
