Financial advisors are under pressure to serve more clients, improve efficiency, and keep up with rapidly changing technology.

How do you use AI without losing the personal relationships that clients value most? And where should advisors begin if they want technology to improve their daily work instead of creating more complexity?

In this episode, Jeremy Houser sits down with Greg DuPont, JD, CFP®, CEO of Advocate Wealth Solutions and host of The March to a Million Podcast, to discuss how AI is reshaping advisory firms from the inside out. Greg shares how he’s built AI into his planning process, why he believes human relationships become even more valuable as technology improves, and how automation is helping him create better experiences for clients while operating a leaner business. They also explore estate planning, advisor productivity, and the growing need for tax education as more families prepare to transfer wealth.

Key takeaways:

Building AI systems that support advisors without replacing personal relationships
Using estate planning conversations to attract better-qualified prospective clients
Creating daily AI workflows that improve accountability and follow-through
Helping families understand retirement tax exposure before it becomes a surprise
Combining technology with human judgment to improve the client experience
And more!
