What happens when the very thing that once protected your business's complexity starts to disappear?

In this solo episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka reflects on a powerful realization that emerged after attending a three-day Mindvalley social media summit. The conversation everywhere wasn’t hype or fear; it was clarity. AI is quietly removing friction, steps, and barriers. And when information becomes easy, something else becomes scarce.

Trust.

This episode explores why many independent advisors feel like their business takes more effort than it used to, not because they’ve lost their edge, but because the environment changed. Where advisory businesses were once protected by licenses, access, and specialized knowledge, today’s clients arrive with information already in hand. What they lack isn’t answers, it’s clarity and confidence in who to trust.

Daniel breaks down why competence alone no longer creates leverage, how silence is now interpreted as absence, and why every solo advisor has become the brand, whether they intended to or not. This isn’t about becoming an influencer. It’s about stewardship, ownership, and helping the right people understand how you think before they ever need you.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

Why trust, not information, is the new bottleneck

How authority quietly replaced complexity as the real asset

Why “being good” no longer guarantees visibility

The hidden cost of borrowing attention instead of owning it

What prospects really learn when they look you up today
