It’s not always easy for wealth advisors to stay on top of market trends and movements. Not only do you have to be a bit wonky to keep up, but it can divert time and attention away from serving clients.
Fortunately, a dynamic duo from our friends at Carson Group have found a way to walk you through the issues and “cut through the noise” in a weekly podcast format that’s fun and efficient. Named by Michael Kitces as one of the top 22 financial advisor podcasts to listen to in 2025, the Facts vs. Feelings podcast — hosted by Carson Group Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick and Global Macro Strategist Sonu Varghese — brings you up to speed on financial markets every Wednesday morning.
Recent episodes have covered:
• Interest rate cuts and Trump 2.0
• Industry impacts of artificial intelligence
• How to read the market like a pro
• Mid-year and end-of-year outlooks
Did we mention Ryan and Sonu will be airing Facts vs. Feelings live from Alts Summit 2025 in March? That’s right! It’s anybody’s guess what they’ll talk about, but it’s bound to tackle the Summit’s main theme: how alternative investments and other strategies can help your practice thrive in an evolving financial landscape.
“I’m so excited to get down to the great state of Texas to do our podcast live and in front of everyone! There is so much happening this year and Sonu and I will be discussing what matters most to advisors and their clients, along with how alternatives play a part in all of it,” Ryan said.
Between those two wonks and our keynote speaker Michael Kitces, the annual Alts Summit is going full nerd! Come geek out with us and meet other advisors, fund managers, and the knowledgeable Blue Vault team! Register today and we’ll see you at the Omni PGA Resort in Frisco, Texas, March 10-12, 2025.
