Summary:
In this episode, Tim Maurer sits down with Pete Dorsey — industry veteran and co-founder of Wing, an AI-powered financial planning and investment platform — to discuss how technology is democratizing access to fiduciary advice. Together, they explore why “people want to live their money” instead of merely accumulating it, and how Wing is bridging the gap between personal values, financial goals, and scalable, data-driven planning.
Pete brings insights from decades of leadership at LPL Financial, TD Ameritrade Institutional, and Altruist, sharing how behavioral finance, AI, and mobile-first design are converging to transform the future of wealth management.
