What if the financial planning profession is more fragile than it looks? Recorded live at the Fearless Investing Summit by Nitrogen Wealth, Mike sits down with Bob Veres - veteran industry observer, writer, and publisher of the Inside Information newsletter - for one of the most candid conversations about the state of financial advice you'll hear this year. Bob has been watching this profession evolve for decades, and he pulls no punches. From the AUM model's structural flaws, to the inertia of established firms sleepwalking toward an extinction event, to the rise of a new generation of idealistic advisors who want nothing to do with the old way of doing business - this conversation covers it all. If you've ever felt like the profession is stuck in an awkward middle ground between what it was and what it needs to become... Bob has a name for that feeling. And more importantly, he has a vision for what comes next.
