What happens when an advisor leaves the safety net of a big broker-dealer to start fresh—and hand-pick every stitch of technology? For Jordan Raniszeski, co-founder and senior managing partner of Carnegie Private Wealth, it meant balancing efficiency with humanity, testing everything from AI meeting assistants to client portals, and building a culture that embraces innovation without becoming tech-dependent.

In this episode of The WealthStack Podcast, host Shannon Rosic flips the script—interviewing an advisor about the real-world process of building a stack that empowers advisors and delights clients.

Shannon and Jordan discuss:

- How Carnegie Wealth built a fully customized tech stack from day one
- Why “tech-enabled, not tech-dependent” is the firm’s guiding principle
- The ROI reality check: Which tools actually deliver client impact (and which don’t)
- How AI tools like Jump and Holistiplan are reshaping Carnegie’s workflows
- Jordan’s advice for advisors overwhelmed by tech options when launching a new firm
