A former funeral director just became one of Canada's top financial advisors.
That's not a typo.
Shawn Bellefeuille spent his teens placing flowers and driving the hearse at a small-town funeral home. Decades later, he says that job — not finance — is the reason he'll never be replaced by AI.
In Episode 2 of The New Wealth Advisor, he says the thing most of his industry is afraid to say out loud about AI. And then he does something I didn't see coming — he flips it completely.
There's a story in here about a cheque he refused to put in the mail, but we're not going to spoil it.

Episode 1: Robert A Di Iorio
"AI is going to eat the world."
That’s Robert Di Iorio. Top wealth advisor in Canada.
While most advisors are still deciding if AI is a fad.
26 years at RBC Dominion Securities. He studied 200 years of technology shifts and came away with a conclusion most of the industry still isn't ready for.

This is the first episode of The New Wealth Advisor — a new series where we sit down with the advisors quietly redefining what this industry looks like.
C'est pour ça qu'on a créé Bloks.
Bloks, c'est l’Un-CRM. C’est la couche invisible sur laquelle repose votre pratique. Il n'attend pas qu'on le nourrisse — il se nourrit tout seul. Chaque réunion, chaque appel, chaque courriel, saisi automatiquement. Chaque fiche mise à jour sans que vous ayez à y toucher. Chaque suivi consigné sans que vous ayez à l'écrire.
Pas pour que vous en fassiez plus. Pour que vous soyez plus présent dans ce qui compte vraiment : bâtir les relations qui bâtissent tout le reste.
Ça fait vingt ans qu'on fait des outils de productivité. Bloks est le premier qu'on a conçu en partant des gens — et non de la paperasse.
