Most financial advisors know they need to create content. The challenge is knowing what AI should do, what it shouldn't do, and how to create authentic content that actually builds trust.

In this episode of RIA Collective, Charlie Van Derven sits down with Nate Hoskin, CFP®, Co-Founder of SageContent.ai, to discuss how advisors can leverage video, AI, and personal branding to grow their businesses without sacrificing authenticity. Nate shares lessons from building his own RIA through content before creating SageContent.ai to help other advisors do the same.

In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why video is one of the fastest ways to build trust with prospects
• Where AI saves advisors time, and where it can actually hurt your marketing
• The difference between production quality and expensive editing
• Why people follow advisors, not logos
• How to build a personal brand that generates opportunities
• The biggest mistakes advisors make with content creation
• Practical ways to use AI without sounding like AI

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation:

Use AI to remove the work that gets in the way, not the authenticity that builds trust.

Whether you're just starting with video or looking to improve your marketing strategy, this episode is packed with actionable ideas you can implement immediately.
