Kevin LumHOST

And I asked Zach to do this video because if you were to reach out to Foundry, he is often the first person you'll meet.
Kevin LumHOST

So he's literally had hundreds of conversations, maybe thousands of conversations with people who are exploring working with different financial advisors, and he's compiled the five key questions you have to ask, and they're excellent questions.
Kevin LumHOST

Jasravee Kaur ChandraHOST

Please keep at it.
Jasravee Kaur ChandraHOST

It is much more than theory.
MeghanHOST

The Foundry, okay.
MeghanHOST
21:08
They aren't just philosophizing.
MeghanHOST
21:09
They are actively trying to build the infrastructure for this right now, holding it up as the blueprint for what Forge calls a next era world.
LloydHOST
21:18
So The Foundry is trying to operationalize this.
LloydHOST
21:20
They're actually building it.
MeghanHOST
21:21
Yes, and they are issuing a stark warning to current power structures while they do it.
Malcolm HarrisHOST
3:27
The first is going to be Nick Darman.
Malcolm HarrisHOST
3:28
He's the founder and CEO of Alvyz, all right? With Nick, he is fantastic, all right? He's come up on the operational side of the business before building Al- Alvyz and, uh, he's of course rolling out Foundry, which is an AI agent built directly into a CMS.
Malcolm HarrisHOST
3:43
So we're gonna get into that and much more.
Malcolm HarrisHOST
