The Future of Advice with Michael Kitces

May 08, 2026 Admin

Michael Kitces—Head of Planning Strategy at Focus Partners Wealth, Co-Founder of XY Planning Network, and one of the industry's most recognized voices—joins Sean Walters for a "This or That" conversation on the questions every advisor is quietly wrestling with:

  • Investments or wealth? Specialization is rising. Which path is right for you?

  • Solo or team? Why going solo has never been more profitable—despite what the big firms say.

  • Utopian or dystopian? Why Kitces is bullish on advice, even as AI raises the bar for everyone.

A must-listen for every advisor thinking about where the profession is headed.
