If you’re a wealth manager, has a client ever asked you “what happens when I’m not here?”? This seemingly simple question is often one of the most elusive to answer. Even with relatively simple estate plans, understanding beneficiary access and distributions can be a tangled web of documents and legal jargon, leaving clients and family members with uncertainty and stress. With Luminary’s recent launches of automated beneficiary data extraction and beneficiary reporting, advisors can now answer this critical question with ease, precision and confidence.

True partnerships are transformative catalysts for change. They transcend mere funding, embracing deep listening, dynamic collaboration, and vibrant community-building.

Join me in exploring how we can reshape the landscape of social impact. Together, we can craft a future where diverse voices lead the charge in solving our most pressing challenges. Read the full article and let's continue this vital dialogue.

The current media landscape is more challenging than ever, with geopolitical tensions, the upcoming U.S. elections, and economic uncertainty driving the conversation. ⠀ In this environment, it’s crucial for PR professionals to rise to the challenge by crafting stories that can catch the attention of audiences who are oversaturated with political content, advertising, and misinformation. ⠀ To stand out amidst the noise, focus on delivering narratives that offer meaningful advice and authenticity. Address global challenges and highlight emerging opportunities. ⠀ By staying attuned to the evolving media dynamics and understanding the broader context in which your message will be received, you can help your clients navigate this complex landscape. Your goal should be to create content that informs and empowers audiences to take meaningful action. ⠀ Commit to delivering stories that matter - stories that help shape the conversation in a positive direction and provide clarity in a very uncertain media environment. ⠀ #MediaStrategy #PublicRelations #Storytelling #Geopolitics #Elections #EconomicOutlook

To me, the truth matters – and a recent example from Pacaso’s fundraising deck reveals the latest example of a company toeing the line between accuracy and what looks good. In Pacaso’s case, this is information that retail investors are using to make investment decisions – but more generally, this is about the importance of leading with transparency and accuracy.
