This week, some of the most influential minds in fintech spent a few days in Huntington Beach, California, talking about the future.

The dust is settling on Future Proof 2022 and my body is still reacclimating to eastern time, but Financial Planning's coverage of the world's first "wealth management festival" rolls on. 

Go deep into some of the conversations that happened, including ones between CogniCor CEO Sindhu Joseph and FP Alpha founder Andrew Altfest on the symbiotic relationship that should be forged between advisors and their tech; and Invent CEO Oleg Tishkevich chatting with Milemarker co-founder Jud Mackrill about how wealth managers can take their stack from absolute nightmares to works of art.

In addition to panel recaps, we've got beachside video interviews with fintech newsmakers like new Orion Advisor Tech President and former Redtail CEO Brian McLaughlin; Docupace CEO David Knoch; Snappy Kraken CEO Robert Sofia and many more on the way.

The big takeaway from Future Proof? The industry has the tools to make the lives of advisors and their clients simpler. The challenge lies in not overcomplicating the pursuit of a more modern practice. 

Anything else on your mind? Drop me a line at justin.mack@arizent.com. Have a great rest of the week!

Regards,
Justin
