🤔 "Professional contrast is created by either doing things that others can't, or doing similar things better." – Kevin Bishopp In the competitive world of financial advising, standing out is crucial. Many Financial Advisors struggle to differentiate themselves, leading to a crowded market where it's hard to shine. ☀ To create a strong 💪 professional contrast, focus on two strategies: innovate in ways others can't or excel in areas where others are simply adequate. This means either pioneering 🛶 unique services or perfecting existing ones to offer unparalleled quality. Embrace AI and other cutting-edge tools 👩💻 to automate routine tasks and free up your time for what truly matters – building deeper client relationships ❤️ and providing exceptional service. By doing so, you not only enhance your value but also secure your place as a leader in the industry. 🎙 For more on this and more about how Advisors can utilize AI to help elevate their business and their client experience listen to episode 61 of The Always On podcast. I have a meaningful conversation with Kevin Bishopp, Vice President and Performance Coach for the Advisor Consulting Group at First Trust, titled "AI Insights and Breakthroughs" – find the links in the comments 👇

In a world where knowledge has always been power, AI is starting to change that. Shawn Kanungo explains it really well below - with an "AI co-pilot" in your pocket, you have access to all the knowledge you could need. It's going to be those who are hungry, innovative and bold who will find different ways to utilise that knowledge, who will succeed. That translates so well into the #realestate industry, especially as we are so collaborative in the way we work. We don't horde knowledge or technology, we share it across the industry and we all rise or fall together. I am so excited to see what new innovations start appearing in our industry as AI starts to become more prevalent. #AI #commercialrealesate #AIinrealestate #residentialrealestate #industrialrealestate #retailrealestate #aiadoption #calgaryrealestate #albertarealestate #yycrealestate #yegrealestate #edmontonrealestate

🌍 New episode of Everybody in the Pool Podcast is live, and I had the pleasure to talk to Megan Lorenzen of Salesforce about, among other things, the company's attempts to encourage more sustainable AI development. 🌍 Salesforce announced its Sustainable AI Initiative back in April and we talked about how the industry needs: - standardized metrics for determining AI energy use - new AI regulations that take environmental impact into account - a move toward right-sizing models for maximum efficiency (aka, you don't need to train your model on all the data in the world if you only need it to read and summarize internal documents, for example) Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gz87xYaJ

🎙 I'm excited to release our latest podcast episode! This week, I am In conversation with Linda Berberich, PhD! We dove into the intersectionality of AI and its impacts on society, especially marginalized communities. We spoke of the real harms that AI poses to society, but also how technology can be used to augment human behavior and learning. Our discussion delved into: What is AI behind the hype and media's misconceptions The challenges of consent and regulation in the digital space The repercussions of AI on creativity and authenticity in society Ethical implications of technology – facial recognition technology and data privacy I especially loved hearing about Linda's experiences in Big Tech and how her own experiences of misogyny reflect the broader historical context of misogyny and white supremacy in the development of AI. We end our conversation on a hopeful note, discussing the launch of ChatBlack GPT last month. I hope you enjoy the conversation! 🎧 Listen & Follow: https://lnkd.in/ga8zBdgN
