    The 8th Wonder of the World

    Chris Smith
    Drive consistent, compounding business growth by investing in the most valuable asset in your business: your brand.

    A business sells products and services. A brand creates movements, fosters loyalty, and generates compounding value that scales beyond transactions. As Albert Einstein famously said, “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world.” But what if the same principle applies—not just to money—but to trust, authority, and influence?
     
    In this powerful session, advisors will transcend beyond trite definitions of branding and learn how to turn their identity into an asset that compounds in value year over year. This isn’t about logos or taglines. It’s about owning a space in the mind of your ideal clients and making yourself unforgettable. Led by one of the industry’s most sought-after brand experts, this session will equip attendees with the frameworks to build a brand that outlasts market fluctuations, commoditization, and industry noise.

    Money Isn’t Math: The Missing Variable in Modern Financial Advice

    Ande Frazier

    Let’s be honest—if money were just about math, every spreadsheet would lead to success. But as any seasoned advisor knows, humans don’t make decisions in formulas. They make them in fear, love, guilt, and identity...

    In this thought-provoking and practical keynote, Ande Frazier, industry veteran, behavioral finance expert, and unapologetic truth-teller breaks down why traditional financial planning models fall short and what today’s advisors must do to stay relevant. Through real-world stories, psychology-backed insight, and straight-talk strategies, advisors will explore: 

    • Why smart people still make dumb money decisions (and how to intervene)
    • The cognitive traps that derail even the best-laid plans
    • How to move from "advisor" to "guide" by mastering the emotional side of money
    • Tools to decode client behavior and align plans with values
    • Why understanding who a client is matters more than what they earn 
     

    You’ll leave with actionable frameworks to create deeper client relationships, improve implementation rates, and future-proof your practice in an era where connection is the real differentiator. 

    This isn’t fluff. It’s the formula the spreadsheet forgot.
