Ali KatzHi! I’m Ali Katz, founder of the Eyes Wide Open Collective, a portfolio of companies devoted to helping people make legal, insurance, financial, and tax decisions through a lens of awake awareness with tech and advisory to support. I’m writing a book on Money Dysmorphia and bringing forward a new model of financial planning to transform the world of advisory services, especially important as the rise of AI renders traditional advisors obsolete. I currently serve 700 lawyers nationwide using my Life & Legacy Planning model, and consider that a testing lab for what comes next. What lights me up most is flipping old systems of time, money, and investing on their head to build new economic models of resource allocation, designed to heal the extractive past and create a thriving, regenerative future for us all.
