Why do so many succession plans fail? For Jay Hummel, Co-Founder of Wealth Advisor Growth Network, the answer is rarely about numbers - it’s about leadership.

Jay believes leadership is about intentionality: preparing for succession well before it’s needed, building cultures defined by accountability, and having the courage to make decisions when others stall. He also unpacks why emotions often derail leaders more than strategy or finance ever do.

You’ll hear:

• Why true succession planning starts years before the transition
• The difference between hiring harvesters and hiring planters
• Why indecision at the top kills momentum everywhere else
• How culture is built through clarity and accountability, not perks
• Why emotions derail more businesses than financials ever do

Jay now advises leaders and firms on growth, succession, and culture, helping them navigate the financial and human side of leadership and transition.
