In this episode of the Always On podcast, Duncan MacPherson explores the intersection of leadership, scalability, and client impact through a compelling conversation with Jimmy Lee, Founder and CEO of The Wealth Consulting Group, and an advisor who operates at both the strategic and client-facing levels of his firm.
Together, they unpack what it takes to build a business that is both transferable and transcendent.
Key takeaways include:
- The advantages of having both a C-suite and client-facing perspective
- Why being sale-ready is about structure, not timing
- How to lead with values while still pursuing growth
- The difference between running a business for clients and with clients
- Reflections on intentional leadership, culture, and the long game of legacy
This conversation offers a rare look into how high-performing advisors align their business models with long-term outcomes, without sacrificing the human side of the profession.
