In this episode, Matthew Jarvis sits down with Dan Murphy, Head of Wealth Strategies at Commonwealth, to explore the evolving landscape in financial planning. Gone are the days of product-pushing and binder-heavy financial plans; welcome to the era of experience-driven advisory!

Dan walks through the "Experience Economy," revealing how advisors can transform their practices from mere service providers to architects of memorable client experiences. The industry is rapidly shifting from a product focus to an experience focus, and Dan emphasizes that modern financial planning should revolve around clients' goals and values rather than just charts and numbers.

From the mindset shift required to embrace this new paradigm to the operational changes needed to support it, Dan offers a wealth of insights for advisors at every stage of their careers. He stresses the importance of cultivating genuine curiosity and empathy as crucial tools for understanding clients' needs. Creating positive experiences, Dan explains, requires intentionality in all aspects of client interactions, going beyond providing services to crafting "time well spent" for clients.
