Dont Shoot The Messenger
Podcast Description
Hi, I'm Chris Ball, and welcome to my podcast, "Don't Shoot the Messenger." My no-nonsense approach to building wealth and scaling businesses comes from real experience, not theory.

This podcast is for the ones who are done with fluff:The high earners who still feel brokeThe entrepreneurs are burning out trying to chase growthThe ambitious professionals who are starting to question the game they’re playingAnd anyone who’s beginning to realise that more isn’t always betterI’m not here to coddle. I’m here to be honest. You might not like everything I have to say, but I’m not here to be liked. I’m here to help you get clear, get focused, and get real results. All I ask is: Don’t Shoot the Messenger.This is a Financial Planner Life Production 🎬

This is a Financial Planner Life Production 🎬
Artificial intelligence isn't just changing financial planning, it's revolutionising it from the ground up. This candid conversation explores how AI is transforming daily operations for advisors and reshaping client relationships in ways previously unimaginable.
We dive into practical applications that are already delivering results: dictating meeting plans during commutes, creating training materials in minutes instead of hours, and deploying sophisticated meeting assistants that capture every client detail while advisors focus entirely on the human connection. For planners drowning in administrative tasks, these tools offer a lifeline, automating the mundane while enhancing what matters most.
The privacy question looms large in our discussion. How do we balance leveraging AI's capabilities with protecting sensitive client information? We explore approaches some firms are taking, including developing proprietary systems that compartmentalise client data by advisor. Beyond compliance concerns, we examine the deeper question of whether client data is truly at risk and how to navigate these waters responsibly.
