30. What the CEO of AMP knows that most Australians don't, With Blair Vernon

In this episode of Plan to Prosper, Ziggy sits down with Blair Vernon to discuss the future of financial advice, leadership, AI, and what it takes to navigate an increasingly complex world. Because while everyone is talking about technology, markets, and opportunity, the real challenge is often much more human. How do you make good decisions under pressure? How do you build wealth without taking unnecessary risks? And how do you adapt to change without leaving people behind? We unpack: Why AI presents both enormous opportunity and enormous risk Why even AI experts don't know exactly where the technology is heading How AMP is approaching AI without losing sight of its people Why retirement planning is becoming more complex than ever The real value of financial advice during periods of uncertainty The role parents play in teaching financial literacy at home Why time is the most valuable asset in any financial plan The myth of work-life balance and what to focus on instead Why financial advice remains one of the most rewarding professions in Australia There’s also a powerful reminder throughout the conversation: Success rarely comes from chasing every new opportunity. It comes from having a clear strategy, staying consistent, and focusing on the things that matter most. If you're interested in leadership, AI, financial advice, or building long-term wealth, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.
