49. Is Going to Conferences Worth It? with Brodrick Lothringer
•
Dr. Craig Lemoine & Ailie Elmore
Financial conferences can be game-changers for advisors, but they can also be overwhelming. In this episode, PodPony founder Brodrick Lothringer talks about what makes these gatherings valuable, where they fall short, and why showing up ready to learn matters.
This conversation covers the mix of association, custodial, and newer conferences like Future Proof and T3, while also digging into the culture that surrounds them, from late-night networking marathons to the challenges of keeping events professional.
Topics we cover:
- Which events stand out in the wealth and land space
- The role of alcohol, ego, and behavior at conferences
- How to get real takeaways instead of just checking a box
- The strange but true stories that come with being on the road
