High Meadow LIVE!

In this episode, Justin and Brian sit down with Ryan Dau, Founder and CEO of Reframe RIA, who helps financial advisors get their time and energy back through strategy, operations, and technology. Ryan's path runs from the U.S. Air Force Academy, to leading a software team with zero software background, to advising clients, to building his own firm. His view on the industry's favorite shortcut is simple: technology is just the amplifier. If the process underneath is broken, a new tool only makes the problem louder. This one is about doing the upfront work so the tools, and the people, can actually deliver. They get into: Why firms buy another tool instead of fixing the operating problem Getting 90% of your firm on paper and only 10% in your head What AI should actually free up advisors to do for clients Bringing a whole team onto one process, a couple degrees at a time Follow High Meadow LIVE!: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBqIneNtHGjBXf1i6ng7CZg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highmeadowlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DRph3HTTe/ X: https://x.com/highmeadowlive LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/141874309/ Ryan Dau | LinkedIn

Welcome to High Meadow LIVE! Practitioner-to-practitioner conversations about AI, technology, consulting, careers, and mindset, hosted by Justin Jackson, Founder and CEO of High Meadow University, and Brian Hyman, Founder and CEO of High Meadow Solutions. In this first episode, Justin and Brian share the "why" behind the show: the mentors who changed the direction of their careers, and why paying that forward drives everything they're building. From a college guidance counselor's office to late-night phone calls with a mentor who asked for nothing in return except to "pay it forward," this one is about the people who shape who you become, and how to become that person for someone else. They get into: • Mentorship and paying it forward • The people you surround yourself with • Making decisions without letting fear lead Follow High Meadow LIVE!: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBqIneNtHGjBXf1i6ng7CZg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highmeadowlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DRph3HTTe/ X: https://x.com/highmeadowlive LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/141874309/
