If you’ve ever blocked out “leadership time” on your calendar only to feel restless instead of focused, this episode is for you.

Rob Brown shares a solo message about a trap many high-performing advisors fall into—the unsettling sense that success has created space, but not clarity. Rather than being a setback, Rob explains why this is actually the signal you’ve reached the edge of Vision 3—the next stage of growth where leadership shifts from managing success to shaping legacy.

In this episode, Rob unpacks the three visions of advisor growth, tells a real coaching story of a partner wrestling with succession, and shows how The Truest Fan Blueprint helps advisors reframe scattered goals into a purpose-aligned vision. You’ll see why Vision 3 is less about performance metrics and more about clarity, purpose, and freedom.

This isn’t about filling your calendar with busywork. It’s about aligning your leadership with the bigger calling that drives you forward.

Key Takeaways:

• The Trap of Empty Time (00:25) – Why leadership time feels like a void when vision isn’t clear.
• The Three Visions (02:10) – From hustling, to scaling, to leading with purpose.
• Beyond the Numbers (05:05) – Metrics matter, but without purpose, they scatter your goals.
• The Blueprint Advantage (07:20) – How visioning first avoids the trap and creates freedom.
• Step Into Vision 3 (09:40) – Leadership shifts from performance to legacy when purpose comes first.

Rob Brown: “That unsettled space in your calendar isn’t failure. It’s the signal you’re standing on the edge of Vision 3—the moment when leadership becomes less about performance and more about clarity, culture, and legacy.”
