    Bonus Episode: Life-Informed Wealth Planning Across Generations

    What if the most important part of your financial plan has nothing to do with the numbers on your statement?   In this episode of the Registered Investment Advisor Podcast, Seth Greene interviews Mitch Hamer, Founder and Lead Advisor at Intersecting Wealth, who shares how his psychologically informed approach helps high-net-worth families navigate money across multiple generations. Drawing on his background in psychology, Mitch explains why the most impactful conversations rarely revolve around spreadsheets and how “life-informed” planning better reflects clients’ real goals, stories, and risk capacity. He also discusses evolving the business from a trusted practice into an enduring enterprise while adapting to AI, shifting client expectations, and a rapidly changing wealth landscape.   Key Takeaways: → How life, psychology, behavior, and money shape every client’s decision. → More client breakthroughs come from conversations about biases, fears, and dreams than from portfolio models. → How estate planning, account titling, and goal-setting are often underserved, and each entity in a complex family structure deserves its own balance sheet with clear objectives. → What life-informed planning looks like in practice and why a one-size-fits-all model can cause advisors to miss what truly matters to clients. → Why LinkedIn and content creation are key to Intersecting Wealth’s next chapter.   Mitch Hamer is the Founder and Lead Advisor at Intersecting Wealth. He values guiding families through the comprehensive financial planning process. Given his approach, which is more psychological and behavioral than financial, Mitch enjoys helping families zoom out on what gets too much attention, zoom in on what is largely ignored by advisors, and then pull it all together. He finds being on the journey with families as they find clarity around their goals and dreams, and supporting them in implementation, uniquely rewarding. Prior to founding Intersecting Wealth in 2024, Mitch spent the previous eleven years as a Financial Advisor to high-net-worth individuals and families.

    Introducing Making taxes fun with Pikachu and AI | Cadi Zhang from Possible. Follow the show: Possible Cadi Zhang joins Reid Hoffman and Parth Patil to explore how generative AI is changing game development, world models, and robotics. Drawing on her work across Unity games, VR teleoperation, AI accounting, and robotics product operations, Cadi explains what virtual worlds can teach embodied intelligence—and why physical robots still lack the tactile, real-world data that can’t be scraped from the internet. She shares how she uses GPT, Blender, PixelLab, and Aseprite to prototype games faster, including a duck-themed imposter game and PokéTax, her Pokémon-inspired tax-filing game. AI can rapidly generate code, gameplay mechanics, and 3D assets, she says, but it still can’t judge whether a game feels fun, maintain a consistent art style, or model the precise force needed to fold a sheet of paper. Reid, Parth, and Cadi discuss simulation-to-reality gaps, the limits of current world models, robot safety, humanoid versus task-specific form factors, and why human taste remains the decisive creative skill.

He shares insights into scaling past a billion in assets, fixing painful missteps with clients and the team, and preparing both families and advisors for the next great wave of wealth transfer.   Key Takeaways: → How FORM Wealth Advisors structures reviews and planning to reflect the actual shape of a client’s life. → Why advisors stop selling last week’s winning lottery numbers and start owning real-life responsibility for clients. → How FORM Wealth Advisors serves every branch of the family tree and why that has been vital to the firm’s growth.   → Why cutting “smaller” clients can erode trust in a close-knit community. → How inheritances split one large relationship into many smaller ones.   Tyson Ray, CFP®, CExP®, CIMA®, CEO, and Founding Partner of FORM Wealth Advisors, has developed extensive expertise in investment management, financial planning, and business exit strategies, earning recognition from Forbes, Barron’s, and AdvisorHub as a top advisor. Tyson also actively contributes to his community through philanthropic initiatives, including Children’s World Impact. His journey began at Badger High School, where, as a sophomore, he invested $100 in mutual funds, sparking a lifelong passion for financial strategy. After graduating from the University of West Florida, he returned to Southern Wisconsin to launch his career in financial services.
