For decades, advisors have been told the same story. Start succession planning early. Find a junior advisor. Develop them over time. Transition the business internally.

The problem? That is not how most successful transitions happen today.

In this episode, Darrell challenges one of wealth management's most accepted beliefs and explains why many internal succession plans quietly fail long before the owner is ready to retire. You'll learn why developing a successor is often riskier than selecting one, how external buyers create competitive outcomes that internal candidates rarely can, and why the market has become a better matchmaker than your organization chart.

Most importantly, Darrell explains why the best succession outcomes are not created by grooming a person. They are created by building a business that great successors want to inherit.

Because succession is no longer just an internal planning exercise.

It is increasingly a market-driven outcome.
