Advanced Business Planning Panel : Taxes and Succession
Jake “No-Socks, No-Problem” Bauer and members of the Ad Strat team — Melissa Smith-White, Tim Lux, Ben Stout, and Andrew Gosney — closed out Day Two of Elevate 2026 with a conversation on advanced business planning, taxes, and succession.
The discussion centered on a simple point: business owners usually have more planning needs than the personal portfolio shows.
The panel touched on ways advisors can support those clients through retirement plan design, executive benefits, succession planning, exit strategy, and business continuity.
And with that, Day Two is a wrap.
Now, we’re on to karaoke 🎤
