Stories That Change the Way Financial Services Think

Financial services doesn’t need another presentation about trends.

It needs a new story about its future.

Peter de Kuster brings together storytelling, The Hero’s Journey, financial life planning and the future of human–AI relationships to challenge financial professionals to see their clients — and their profession — differently.
