In this fast-paced presentation, Duncan MacPherson explores the strategic integration of artificial intelligence into the modern financial practice. Drawing on decades of coaching elite professionals and real-world examples from over 200 active client engagements, Duncan demystifies the role of AI, not as a threat to the advisor, but as a liberating tool that enables professionals to reclaim their time, systematize their value, and ultimately increase enterprise value.
This webinar is not a surface-level overview. It's a masterclass on how to translate curiosity into capability and how to move from intent to implementation. With AI accelerating at an unprecedented pace, Duncan makes the case for why financial advisors must become serious students, not just of AI, but of their own businesses, and why doing so can position them for a work-optional lifestyle and a successful transition or succession in the future.
