AI Disruption, Volatility & Stock-Picking Wisdom with Gradient’s EVP Chad

from Pickers Market · host Keith Gangl, Lisa Schreiber and Tyler Ellegard

In this episode, we break down the sharp equity rotation sparked by rising AI disruption risk, with software and other data-intensive industries selling off across regions. The MSCI World Momentum Index delivered its 5th largest sell-off versus the market since 1995, while volatility gauges flashed warning signs beneath the surface. What does this all mean – we break it down! We’re joined by Chad Roesler, Executive Vice President at Gradient Financial Group and with the firm since the very beginning. Chad shares his personal path with the firm, how Gradient has evolved over time, and how that long-term perspective shapes the way he thinks about markets today. Chad also sprinkles in hard-earned wisdom on stock picking, shares his thoughts on “green money” - including annuities and life insurance - and adds a few fun personal insights into what and how he likes to watch sports.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture.
