    Inside the Flows - Episode 8

    Inside this special episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu sits down with Ryan Chand to explore how advisors can better position themselves for the next generation of wealth, starting with lessons from the Future Proof Citywide event and a growing wave of younger, entrepreneurial advisors entering the industry. They discuss how shifting wealth dynamics, rising high net worth households, and the influence of digital platforms are reshaping how advisors connect, build trust, and stay relevant in an increasingly competitive landscape. The conversation then turns to a deeper, more reflective discussion inspired by Ryan’s “Think With Ryan” newsletter, focusing on the idea that “nearly” is not enough when it comes to financial planning and life decisions. They emphasize the importance of slowing down, being intentional, and addressing affordability and financial tradeoffs early, rather than waiting for the perfect moment that never comes, offering a grounded perspective on how individuals and households can take control of their financial future. #genz #millennials #financialadvisor #wealthmanagement #jpmorgan #ria #financialplanning NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY Step inside the corner office.
