AI: Friend, Foe, or Your New Financial Planner?

AI is reshaping every corner of finance, and we know there's a lot of noise out there about whether artificial intelligence can actually replace your financial advisor. We get real about what AI tools can — and can't — do for your money, especially when it comes to financial planning, coaching, and those pivotal life decisions. You'll hear why tech can help with tasks like data analysis or budgeting, but doesn't replace the human relationship, judgment, and accountability that a true planner offers — especially when your goals (or spouse's dreams) don't show up neatly in a spreadsheet. We also talk about where AI is already making our own work faster and better, plus the emotional side of planning in a world full of information and tech-driven change.
