Advisory in the Age of AI & Altman's $1.4 Trillion Dollar Bet w/ Dr. Sean Stein Smith

In this episode, Rory speaks with Dr. Sean Stein Smith, CPA, professor at Lehman College, Forbes contributor, and advisory board member of the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance, to explore how artificial intelligence and blockchain are transforming the accounting and advisory profession. Discover how blockchain delivers trust and transparency while AI drives speed, pattern recognition, and efficiency across payments, banking, finance and wealth management. Sean discusses how firms like BlackRock and SoFi are leveraging AI to automate decision-making and enhance client experience, and he shares his perspective on Sam Altman’s $1.4 trillion AI bet and whether we are in a bubble or a sustainable transformation. Find out why the real opportunity lies in combining technology with human insight and why communication, soft skills, or what he prefers to call business skills, will define the next generation of advisory professionals. Sean also shares how automation is shifting firms from transactions to transformation and why the CPA license remains a powerful mark of trust in a digital-first world.
