In this week’s episode of Advisor Talk, Elite Consulting Partners CEO Frank LaRosa and EVP of Sales Stacey Frank tackle a topic that hits close to home for many advisors – the G2 Dilemma.
Whether it’s your son, daughter, or a long-time junior advisor, identifying a next-generation successor is often more emotional than strategic. But as Frank and Stacey explain, sentiment alone isn’t a succession plan – and not all G2s are equipped to protect the legacy you’ve built.
Highlights from the episode include:
-Why having a successor doesn’t mean you’ve solved for succession.
-The real risks of passing your business to an underprepared or undercapitalized G2.
-Why external buyers may offer a better deal – and still keep your G2 in the picture.
-How top acquiring firms use process, mentorship, and scale to support long-term success.
-The critical mindset shift advisors must make to ensure client continuity and practice value.
If you’ve already “picked your person” but haven’t explored every option – or if you’ve avoided the conversation altogether – this episode offers the clarity you didn’t know you needed.
