    Avantos with Bassam Chaptini | E440

    What happens after a client signs on the dotted line? In this episode, Jason Pereira sits down with Bassam Chaptini, co-founder of Avantos, to dive into an AI platform tackling the messy administrative gap of wealth management—from onboarding to daily servicing. Using a "knowledge graph" to map relationships across multiple systems, Avantos deploys smart AI agents to fill out custodian paperwork and execute routine tasks, keeping human advisors firmly in control for final approvals. Instead of forcing firms through painful data migrations, Avantos syncs with existing software and pushes live updates everywhere at once. Backed by heavyweights like Vanguard, SEI, and Mercer Advisors, the platform is standardizing custodian workflows and preparing to bring its time-saving automation to insurance and banking next. If you’re a wealth management leader looking to kill post-onboarding paperwork and streamline your operations, you'll want to add this conversation to your queue.

    NARSSA with Martha Shedden & Ted Rosedale | E439

    Host Jason Pereira sits down with Martha Shedden and Ted Rosedale from the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts (NARSSA) to explain why generic online Social Security calculators often fall short. They break down why Social Security optimization is a complex, high-stakes decision—especially for couples, widows, and divorcees—where simple estimates miss key variables like spousal benefits, taxation, and life expectancy. To solve this, NARSSA pairs accredited advisor education with its RSSA Roadmap software, a tool that directly imports official earnings records to build personalized, visual reports. The platform models complex interactions like survivor benefits and required minimum distributions (RMDs), helping advisors ensure their clients don't leave tens of thousands of dollars unclaimed. This episode is a must-listen for financial advisors and retirement planners looking to master Social Security optimization and uncover hidden value for their clients. Episode Highlights: 00:00 Welcome and Guests 00:35 What NRSSA Does 01:35 How NRSSA Started 02:51 Why Social Security Matters 04:17 Beyond Simple Calculators 06:14 Where SSA Estimates Fail 07:10 Key Claiming Decisions 09:12 Longevity and Timing 11:23 Handling Early Claim Fears 13:40 Survivor Benefit Strategies 17:27 Holistic Planning Impacts 19:13 Roadmap Software Walkthrough 21:07 Specialist vs General Tools 22:49 Rapid Fire Closing Questions 29:09 Wrap Up and Sponsor Resources: Facebook – Jason Pereira's Facebook LinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedIn Woodgate.com – Sponsor NARSSA LinkedIn - Martha Shedden’s LinkedIn LinkedIn - Ted Rosedale’s LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

    Capgemini with Dominic Benson and Charles Dally | E438

    Host Jason Pereira sits down with Capgemini’s Charles Dally and Dominic Benson to break down the GENIUS Act, the landmark federal law establishing the first regulatory framework for U.S. stablecoins. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, stablecoins are digital dollars pegged 1:1 to fiat currency. By forcing issuers to back their tokens 1:1 with high-quality liquid reserves and pass regular audits, this legislation clears up massive regulatory uncertainty and opens the door for mainstream, institutional adoption.   The conversation explores how stablecoins will shift from a niche crypto asset into an "invisible" infrastructure layer driving 24/7 real-time global payments. Dally and Benson explain how this digital money movement bypasses traditional banking bottlenecks, cutting cross-border fees and paving the way for AI-driven automated operations. While banks face new competition and infrastructure costs, the ultimate shift will likely mean faster, cheaper, and more inclusive financial services for regular consumers. This episode is a must-listen for fintech professionals, bank executives, and corporate treasury leaders who want to understand how newly legalized digital dollars will fundamentally change global payments. Episode Highlights: 00:00 Welcome and Guests 00:39 Capgemini Overview 02:16 What Are Stablecoins 04:27 Genius Act Explained 08:12 Bank Impacts and Use Cases 11:38 Efficiency and Cross-Border Effects 13:58 Adoption and Implementation Challenges 20:06 Compliance Costs and Regulation Outlook 21:14 Ten-Year Predictions 24:51 Blue Sky Wishes and Inclusion 27:47 Wrap Up and Sponsor Resources: Facebook – Jason Pereira's Facebook LinkedIn – Jason Pereira's LinkedIn Woodgate.com – Sponsor Capgemini LinkedIn - Dominic Benson’s LinkedIn LinkedIn - Charles Dally’s LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

    Clarista with Survat Bansal | E436

    Host Jason Pereira sits down with Suvrat Bansal, CEO of Clarista, to discuss how financial firms can safely launch AI applications without getting tangled in massive data-engineering projects. Bansal explains how Clarista acts as a secure "data fabric", streaming information directly from a firm's existing software without forcing them to completely overhaul their databases or risk platform lock-in. The conversation dives into how Clarista bridges the gap between fast AI development (like "vibe coding") and strict corporate realities, ensuring every app has ironclad data tracking, role-based security controls, and strict compliance audits. By providing a shared internal catalogue, the platform stops teams from accidentally building duplicate AI tools while helping wealth management firms quickly turn messy data into reliable, automated daily workflows. This episode is a must-listen for operations leaders and CTOs at wealth management firms who want to build custom AI workflows quickly while maintaining rigorous corporate data governance.

    Wealth.com Revisited Danny Lohrfink | E435

    Host Jason Pereira sits down with Daniel Lohrfink, CPO of wealth.com, to chart the company’s rise into a powerhouse estate planning platform for financial advisors. The business was sparked by a classic frustration: after selling their previous startup, the founders found themselves caught in a messy, disjointed web of advisors, CPAs, and estate attorneys, realizing the industry desperately needed a unified solution. Lohrfink breaks down how wealth.com built its edge by having actual attorneys spend years hand-labelling legal documents to create a massive, proprietary dataset. This unique data now powers "Esther," their highly tuned legal AI. Fresh off a $65 million funding round, the company is rapidly expanding from basic estate setups into complex tax planning, while upgrading its tech to use advanced AI "agents" that handle complicated workflows securely and accurately. This episode is a must-listen for wealth managers and tech-forward advisors who want to see how real-world data and advanced AI are finally simplifying complex legal planning.

    WealthReach with Michael Barrasso | E433

    Host Jason Pereira interviews Michael Barrasso, co-founder and CEO of WealthReach, about an AI platform designed to help financial advisors get found online. Barrasso explains that most advisor websites fail because they rely on generic templates or expensive designs that lack basic search engine optimization (SEO). WealthReach solves this by building custom websites powered by a 24/7 AI engine that constantly researches keywords, updates content, and ensures the firm ranks high on both Google and modern AI search tools like ChatGPT and Claude. The platform also includes a "Convert" feature, which uses a website tracking pixel to identify anonymous visitors who browse the site but leave without filling out a form. By turning vague web traffic into actual prospect names and contact data, WealthReach allows advisors to move past basic referrals and tap into an automated, repeatable system for booking new client appointments. This episode is a must-listen for financial advisors looking to modernize their marketing strategy and discover how to get their firms cited by AI search engines.
