Intro

What makes you trust someone with your financial future? In this episode of Root Talks, James and Ari unpack the powerful role of intuition in building lasting relationships with financial advisors, business partners, and even loved ones.

They explain how what we call a gut feeling is actually condensed pattern recognition, your brain quietly scanning countless experiences to guide your decisions before you can put words to it. This is why many Root clients engage with our content for months before reaching out. They are building trust, alignment, and confidence long before the first conversation.

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Root designs every client touchpoint to create that same sense of connection—from videos and the first call with our client success manager Jay to the advisor relationship itself. James shares how Root’s hiring process focuses not just on technical skill but on whether a candidate evokes the same feeling of trust clients get from our content. Ari reflects on how intuition plays a role in personal relationships too, bridging the gap between professional and personal trust.

As Root grows, James and Ari discuss how we preserve our culture through decentralized command, empowering advisors to deliver personalized guidance while staying true to our philosophy.

If you are searching for a financial advisor who makes you feel understood and confident about your future, explore our Root Drops and Advisor Unplugged series on our website on YouTube channel. Because the right advisor is not just about credentials or knowledge, it is about finding someone who feels right.
