In this episode of The Rare Advisor, host Aaron Grady explains why so many next‑gen advisors—despite being well‑trained, educated, and experienced—still hesitate when it's time to lead client conversations. Aaron introduces the three essential components of true advisor development: materials, modeling, and mentoring. While most firms provide the first two, they often overlook mentoring, the component that transforms knowledge into judgment and judgment into trust. Aaron walks through why exposure alone doesn't create mastery, how to compress the learning curve through guided feedback, and what leaders must do to build transferable, scalable advisory teams. If your firm is developing future advisors or preparing for succession, this episode reveals the missing link that accelerates growth.
