## Resource

What if AI could actually make you MORE human with your clients? Matt Halloran , Chief Evangelist at Zocks , joins Mike Langford to share a powerful paradox that's transforming financial advisory: the technology that was supposed to replace human connection is actually deepening it. In this episode, you'll discover: How one advisor nearly missed his client's spouse mentioning a serious health issue—but his AI notetaker caught it Why the "tyranny of minutiae" is keeping advisors from spending quality time with clients (and how to break free) The surprising stat: advisors only spend 20% of their time with clients—and how to reclaim 10+ hours per week Why having "no baggage" makes AI the perfect listener in client meetings How 2 million meetings worth of machine learning is making every advisor better at their job The simple follow-up email strategy that's helping advisors close more business against competitors Why adoption rates for AI tools are skyrocketing from 10% to 90% in just 18 months How to attract young talent and drive organic growth in the AI era Matt also shares a powerful Navy story about "trusting the wind at your back"—a metaphor that shaped his entire career and led him from co-founding ProudMouth (the largest podcasting company in financial services) to his new role evangelizing AI solutions. Whether you're skeptical about AI or already experimenting with it, this conversation will shift how you think about technology's role in building deeper, more authentic client relationships.
