This episode unpacks the actual agenda from the Growth Drive Summit 2026, using a real advisor case study to show how elite advisors uncover a client's true strategic intent, sequence a multi-year plan against organizational reality, and turn execution into a leadership challenge instead of a spreadsheet exercise. The lesson: never skip Tuesday.</p>
