ATLANTA, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ty J. Young, founder and CEO of Ty J. Young Wealth Management, joined Mike Odor on Midland National’s Mic’d Up with Midland podcast to discuss the evolving market for selling an annuity practice, advisor succession planning, and strategies for helping financial professionals maximize the value of their life’s work before retirement.
During the episode, titled “3 Keys to Valuing, Buying, and Selling a Practice,” Young shares practical insights drawn from decades of experience acquiring dozens of annuity practices across the country. The conversation explores how independent advisors can prepare for a successful transition while ensuring continuity for clients and preserving the legacy they have built.
“As more insurance producers approach retirement, succession planning has become one of the most important conversations in our industry,” said Ty J. Young. “Our goal is to create a transition that benefits everyone involved—the retiring advisor, the clients they’ve served for decades, and the next generation of advisors who will continue those relationships.”
The discussion addresses several of the most common questions advisors ask when considering retirement, including how to value a practice, what buyers evaluate during an acquisition, and how to structure a transition that protects client relationships over the long term.
Young also discussed Ty J. Young Wealth Management’s approach to providing a white glove transition for annuity clients, emphasizing that a successful acquisition is measured not only by the transaction itself but by the long-term care clients receive after the sale.
Through its national acquisition platform, the firm has become a trusted resource for advisors asking “Who Buys Fixed Indexed Annuity Books?”
