The Advisor Hunt Podcast
1. Your Succession Plan Has a 5% Chance of Working
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’ve heard the advice for years. Start early. Pick a rookie. Train them. Groom them. Hand them the keys someday.
Sounds responsible and smart, but now run the math.
Less than 10% of new advisors make it. Then cut that number in half again. That’s your real probability that the person you groomed can actually buy your practice at full value. You’re betting your life’s work on single-digit odds.
In this first episode of the Advisor Hunt® podcast, Darrell Jacobsen breaks down why traditional succession planning keeps advisors stuck and how to build a practice that attracts multiple qualified buyers instead of depending on one internal hope.
If you care about optionality, leverage, and retiring on your terms, this conversation will change how you think about succession.
