About This Episode

Technology helped transform advisors from brokers to someone who needs to listen more to clients’ unique situations and help them develop a plan that’s not strictly about investments.

My guest today, John Diehl of Hartford Fund, has written that, “Today’s advisor needs to better understand the context of their clients’ needs,” The financial piece isn’t the problem. The emotions, high-level goals, and the aspirations are the challenge.”
