   The Advisor Exit: Capturing Today's Premium Valuations

   In this episode of Rally Up!, host Bob McDermott sits down with Tyson Pettitt, founder of Iron River Group, for an inside look at what it really takes to successfully exit an advisory practice in today's M&A-driven market. What used to be a relatively straightforward process has evolved into a far more complex and high-stakes decision, with rising valuations, intricate deal structures, and increasingly selective buyers. Whether you're years away from an exit or actively considering one, this episode offers actionable insights to help you approach one of the most important decisions of your career with greater confidence and clarity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security or financial instrument.

   With AI vs Without: What Advisor are You?

   How can financial advisors actually benefit from AI in their practice today? In the premiere episode of Rally Up!, InspereX Managing Director Bob McDermott sits down with Optimal Advisor AI Co-Founder Craig Kirkpatrick to explore practical, real-world applications of artificial intelligence in wealth management. If you've ever thought, "I don't have time for AI," Craig explains why that mindset may be costing you more time than you realize. From client meeting preparation and investment research to workflow automation and advisor communications, this conversation focuses on tangible use cases, not hype. AI isn't here to replace advisors — it's a fintech tool to give the best advisors a measurable edge. And with client expectations rising fast, the real question becomes: "How much time — and opportunity — am I losing if I don't learn this?" Because it's not humans versus AI — it's advisors who use AI versus advisors who don't. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment advice, a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security or financial instrument.
