They want more of a partner than an advisor who is just there to tell them what to do. They want somebody who can help guide them and help them think through big life decisions." ~ Andy Krafft [20:56] - "Clients are hiring us because they want a detailed answer. They don't want something that they could get on Google." ~ Andy Krafft  [33:10] - "AI will roll out new tools that allow us to offload some of the work we don't want to do. But it will never replace that human aspect of it. As long as we're working with humans, there will always be a human element that can't be replaced." ~ Andy Krafft   Links  Andy Krafft on LinkedIn Andy Krafft on Twitter Luminary Wealth Scott Krafft Robert Rachlow EY MoneyGuidePro eMoney Advisor   Connect with our hosts Steve on LinkedIn Buckingham Strategic Partners   Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Steve on LinkedIn Follow Buckingham Strategic Partners on Twitter   Disclosure For informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as specific investment, accounting, legal, or tax advice.
