About this episode…

We often speak with advisors who, by every external measure, are exceptionally well-performing. They’ve built real businesses, with strong production, loyal clients, and teams that continue to grow.

Yet behind closed doors, many of these same advisors are quietly asking a different set of questions. Not “How do I fix what’s broken?” but “Why doesn’t this feel as good as I expected?”

That tension is showing up more often than it did five or ten years ago. It’s not because advisors are failing. In many cases, it’s because they’ve won and now face another 15 or 20 years of “more of the same,” unsure whether comfort has replaced energy.

This Industry Update is about that moment.

Louis and Mindy Diamond unpack what we’re hearing from successful advisors across the industry:

  • What feels different for successful advisors vs. five or ten years ago.
  • Why success itself can become a constraint.
  • How fear of change competes with fear of standing still.
  • What the reality is regarding freedom and control.
  • Why record valuations, longer careers, and the maturity of the independent space are changing the psychology of decision-making.
  • They also discuss the right questions to ask before considering a move – questions about control, enterprise value, legacy, and time horizon – and how all advisors can create clarity without forcing a decision.
