Rob's background and Dispatch's purpose

Last week, Anthropic’s Claude announced integrations with Orion and LPL — not as a demo, not as a side tool, but embedded directly into the advisor workflow. That’s a big deal. When AI plugs into the plumbing of wealth management, it stops being optional. What happens when your custodian has a brain? When reporting, research, client communications, compliance workflows, and portfolio analysis are handled at machine speed? Is this a productivity unlock… or the beginning of advisor displacement?

On this episode of Talking Wealth, Michael Batnick is joined by Rob Nance, CEO of Dispatch, to break down what this moment really means. They talk about whether AI becomes the new operating system for wealth tech, who benefits most (big platforms or independent advisors), what gets automated first, and whether margins expand — or get competed away.

This isn’t about chatbots. It’s about control of the stack. If intelligence is now embedded in the infrastructure, the real question is: who owns it — and who gets replaced by it?
