Alison Susko , VP of Community at Asset-Map , joins Mike Langford at the Fearless Investing Summit in Denver for a conversation about why simplicity might be the most underrated competitive advantage in financial planning today. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the reports most advisors hand clients actually require the advisor to be in the room to make sense of them — and why that's a problem How the \"non-CFO spouse\" is reshaping how advisors think about client communication Why Asset-Map's new eMoney integration became their fastest-growing integration of all time How JUMP AI can automatically build an Asset-Map report from a recorded client meeting in real time The shift from deep complexity to relationship-first simplicity that Alison sees coming across the entire industry Why multi-generational planning is no longer optional — and how Relationship Maps are helping advisors keep track of blended families, gray divorces, and three-generation households The real reason clients leave advisors (hint: it has nothing to do with returns) Alison brings nearly 20 years of industry experience — including nearly a decade at eMoney Advisor — to a refreshingly honest conversation about what clients actually want from their financial advisors and the technology that serves them.
