Always On with Duncan MacPherson

Scalable by Design: Lessons in Intentional Growth with Jimmy Lee (Ep. 79)


Listen Later

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.
