As always, a MASSIVE thank you to this week's sponsors: Gelt: I will forever regret not prioritizing a tax strategist early in my solopreneur journey. Don't make the same mistake I did and leave money on the table. If you are a business owner or a high net worth individual, check out Gelt today at joingelt.com/tyler. Fabric: there is a reason that term life insurance is number 4 in my financial order of operations, before an Emergency Fund, and before funding the Roth IRA. If anyone else depends on your income, cross this off your list today in ten minutes at meetfabric.com/tyler. And on to the show notes! AI isn’t replacing financial advisors. But it is getting surprisingly good at doing one of the most valuable parts of the job: stopping you from making bad decisions. In this episode, Tyler breaks down how to actually use AI as a financial tool — not for stock picks or shortcuts, but for clarity, structure, and behavioral coaching. Because the biggest gap in investing isn’t information. It’s execution. In this episode, Tyler covers: Why most investors underperform the market — and how behavior drives that gap How to build a complete financial snapshot for better decision-making How to use AI to uncover your real risk tolerance (not the one you think you have) How to create a simple, diversified investment strategy using structured prompts Why asset location (where you hold investments) matters more than most people realize How to stress test your plan using worst-case scenarios and Monte Carlo thinking How to use AI as a behavioral guardrail during market volatility The real risks: privacy concerns, bad prompts, and AI hallucinations The core idea: AI is a tool, not a replacement for judgment. Used well, it can help you think more clearly, avoid emotional decisions, and build a plan you actually understand. Used poorly, it can give you confident-sounding answers to the wrong questions. If you take one thing from this episode, it’s this: Better inputs lead to better decisions. And if AI helps you slow down, ask better questions, and avoid one major mistake, it’s already paid for itself. If the show’s been helpful, leaving a quick review on Apple or Spotify genuinely helps. Hope this gives you something to think about this week.
