    As the new year begins, Chris Boyd and senior portfolio strategist Brian Regan take a
    deep, forward-looking look at the economy, markets, and portfolio positioning. This
    episode explores how artificial intelligence has become a dominant driver of economic
    growth and why its influence is reshaping equity valuations, sector allocation, and long-
    term investment strategy.
    Brian and Chris explain why today's market differs fundamentally from past valuation
    peaks, how earnings growth and expanding margins are supporting prices, and what
    hyperscale AI investment means for semiconductors, utilities, and infrastructure. The
    conversation also covers yield-curve dynamics, Federal Reserve policy, inflation, tariffs,
    and how these forces interact across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and international
    markets.
    Listeners will gain insight into the "complete system approach" to investing that connects
    macroeconomic signals with tactical portfolio decisions, along with practical
    considerations for retirees and those nearing retirement. A thoughtful, data-driven
    discussion designed to help investors stay disciplined amid volatility and focus on what
    truly drives markets.

  • AI vs. The Human Financial Planner:
    Jan 28 2026

    AI vs. The Human Financial Planner:
    Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, but can it truly replace the human touch in
    financial planning? In this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris is joined by Jeff
    Perry and Russ Ball to explore the pros and cons of using AI for personal finance. From quick
    answers and efficiency to the pitfalls of "hallucinations" and lack of context, we dive into where
    A-I shines and where it falls short. Financial planning is not just about math; it's about life
    changes, family dynamics, aspirations, and emotional comfort. Can an algorithm understand
    your fears or priorities? We discuss why human advisors still play a critical role in tailoring
    strategies, asking the right questions, and guiding decisions beyond formulas. Whether you are a

    DIY investor or curious about tech's impact on wealth management, this conversation offers
    valuable insights into balancing innovation with personal connection.
