Send us Fan MailFour insights in one episode, each from a different voice. A second-gen family office investor says ego is the single biggest destroyer of wealth — it makes you miss small details, over-rely on past success, and walk into deals you should have walked away from. An audience member introduces private placement life insurance — a custom IRS-compliant policy structure that lets your family office hold alternative assets in a tax-deferred environment. A software investor explains why poor board governance is the number one reason deals go sideways, and why preferred shareholders need a board seat to protect themselves. And a former IBM M&A executive warns on cap tables: a company he backed went from a $1.4M valuation to $350M — and investors were still only 4x up because of how the cap table was structured from day one.About Family Office ClubThe world's largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years. 300+ events. 16 million members. $1B+ in community transactions.
Private Equity, Private Credit und Infrastruktur galten lange als Domäne von Family Offices und institutionellen Investoren. Doch das verändert sich. Und darüber spricht Christoph Fröhlich mit Robin Binder, Gründer und CEO der Berliner Plattform NAO. Wie können Privatanleger Zugang zu Anlageklassen erhalten, die bislang nur vermögenden Investoren offenstanden? Welche Rolle spielen ELTIFs? Worauf kommt es bei der Auswahl von Fonds wirklich an? Und warum reicht es nicht, einfach möglichst viele Produkte anzubieten? Außerdem geht es um die Zukunft der Anlageberatung, die Chancen und Risiken illiquider Investments und um die Frage, weshalb Robin Binder sich möglicherweise schon bald das NAO-Logo tätowieren lassen muss.
Send us Fan MailThree rapid-fire insights that the room had not heard before. First: gross revenue royalty deals — a family office founder who has done 17 of them explains why investors love them, almost nobody uses them, and how a dental practice scaled to $30M in revenue returned the full initial investment through monthly cash flow royalties before the exit even happened. Second: deal terms are where most investors get quietly destroyed — preference shares and waterfall structures can leave LPs with nothing even when a deal performs. Third: Grizz Ali reveals that almost no family office is depreciating its intellectual property — a legal, massively underused strategy that simultaneously reduces tax liability and increases balance sheet value when seeking a line of credit.About Family Office ClubThe world's largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years. 300+ events. 16 million members. $1B+ in community transactions.
Send us Fan Mail Hi, Richard Wilson here, founder of Family Office Club. I just wrapped our Monthly Live Forum on AI, and I wanted to make sure this one actually gets used, not just watched.Here's what I walked through in this session: why context engineering matters two to three times more than prompt engineering right now, and how to actually build it into your own workflow instead of just chatting with ChatGPT or Claude like it's a search engine. I showed you the three levels of AI maturity most founders get stuck at level one on, and how we built what I call "Intelligence Centers," one Claude project per role on my team, each with four to seven tools built specifically for that person's job. No more guessing which tool to use for what.I also introduced you to Clara, our AI pitch architect who will critique your one-liner, your pitch deck, and your due diligence questionnaire against 1,500 investor talks recorded on our stages. And Dewey and Vetti, our due diligence and real estate stress-testing tools that can rank ten pitch decks against each other in minutes. I explained why a one-line pitch, a 60 to 90 second founder video, and a 30-question due diligence FAQ will put you ahead of 99% of the people currently raising capital, because almost nobody has all three in place.We also got into real questions from the room: how to structure a deal when you don't have a track record or a full team yet, how family offices actually vet trust before they'll wire you a dollar, and why the relationship matters roughly twice as much as the merit of the deal itself.A little about us, so you know why I'm confident saying any of this: I started Family Office Club 19 years ago in 2007. We've hosted 300+ investor events, we host 30+ events a year across the US, we've got 16 million registered members across our LinkedIn groups, 18.5 million followers across social, and our community has closed over $1 billion in deals together. We built 50+ AI tools specifically for founders and investors, based on 1,500 investor talks from our own stages, not random internet data.If you want the full deployment kit for what I showed here, meaning the exact Claude project instructions, prompts, and skills my team uses daily, or you want to see our next event schedule, here's how:Apply for membership and unlock the AI tools + member portal: https://FamilyOffices.com/JoinSee our next in-person investor event: https://FamilyOffices.comDrop your biggest AI or capital-raising question in the comments below and I will personally reply.

The pound has lost 95% of its purchasing power since 1971. Bitcoin is down 50% from its highs and the mood online is grim. Richard Byworth thinks the bottom is already in, and he's got the receipts to back it up.Jordan sits down with returning guest Richard Byworth to unpack why he believes the market is showing classic seller exhaustion, why family offices are quietly moving into bitcoin, and why the UK's wealthy are heading for the exit.
Patrick Maurenbrecher ist in einer traditionsreichen Unternehmerfamilie aufgewachsen und hat mit Kontora eines der bekanntesten Multi Family Offices Deutschlands mit aufgebaut. Darüber spricht Malte Dreher mit Patrick. In dieser Folge von For Professional Investors Only spricht er über die Lehren aus seiner Kindheit, den Weg vom M&A-Banker zum Unternehmer und darüber, warum Family Offices letztlich genauso unternehmerisch denken müssen wie ihre Mandanten.Wie prägt eine Unternehmerfamilie den Blick auf Vermögen und Verantwortung? Warum wird es immer schwieriger, Unternehmen in Deutschland aufzubauen? Und welche Aufgaben sollte ein Family Office selbst übernehmen und welche besser auslagern?
Send us Fan MailFive family office investors and operators introduce themselves — a former Air Force pilot who built the US military's innovation arm, a second-gen family office focused on drone and security tech, a distressed real estate fund manager, a first-gen family office founder who invented a sleep supplement, and a 25-year PE managing partner. The intros lead directly into a live deal breakdown on distressed office space: a 200,000 sq ft Chicago building that traded at $25M bought for $2.5M, and a 390,000 sq ft downtown Chicago building that was a $160M deal acquired for $18.5M. The thesis: you don't need it to rebound 100%. Buying at these prices, 50% is more than enough.About Family Office ClubThe world's largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years. 300+ events. 16 million members. $1B+ in community transactions.
Send us Fan MailThree things every investor needs to hear. First: a banker flags the growing SPV-on-SPV problem in today's VC market — 24-hour close emails, unverifiable shares, unvested stock — and explains why reading the actual paperwork has never mattered more. Second: on the PE side, capital scarcity means investors are winning more board seats, tighter terms, and preferential return structures. Third — and most shareable — a serial entrepreneur delivers a direct warning: AI is a tsunami, the window to get ahead of it is five years or less, and the operators who integrate it first will eat everyone else's lunch across every industry. His point: this is arguably the world's biggest arbitrage opportunity, and most people are still asleep.About Family Office ClubThe world's largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years. 300+ events. 16 million members. $1B+ in community transactions.
Comment sortir de l'argent de votre société sans payer d'impôt ? (Astuces légales et stratégies)La majorité des chefs d'entreprise commettent la même erreur de débutant : travailler d'arrache-pied pour générer du bénéfice, puis se faire matraquer à hauteur de 30 % ou 45 % au moment de sortir l'argent sur leur compte personnel.

Send us Fan MailPost-2022, valuations have come back to earth — but how do you actually price an early stage or pre-revenue deal right now? This segment breaks it down: a family office CFO explains when EBITDA multiples work and when a convertible note is the smarter tool, giving investors the flexibility to clip a coupon if the deal underperforms or convert to equity if it overperforms. Then a serial entrepreneur explains how he acquired 14 franchise locations at $5,000 each — against a $250,000 market rate — by building a relationship with the franchisor instead of the franchisee. A deep tech founder closes with how phased milestone validation replaces balance sheet engineering for pre-revenue companies.About Family Office ClubThe world's largest investor club in the family office space. 19 years. 300+ events. 16 million members. $1B+ in community transactions.

The rules were never designed to make everyone equally powerful.In this episode of High Level Conversations, 19Keys sits down with Dr. Boyce Watkins for an unfiltered discussion about economics, ownership, education, artificial intelligence, politics, family infrastructure, Black business, and the systems required to create real freedom.The conversation begins with a critical question: What matters more in the age of AI—credentials, experience, mastery, or the ability to build your own system?From there, they break down the difference between earning money and controlling an economy, why community leaders must have sustainable business models, what it truly means to be pro-Black, and why Black wealth cannot grow without intentional investment, mentorship, protection networks, family offices, and institution-building.They also examine:Why criticism and cancellation are unavoidable when your work has real impact.Why Black men remain one of the most under-mentored groups in America.How billionaires, celebrities, and athletes should think about community responsibility.Why investing in Black businesses is more powerful than treating the community like a charity case.Whether artificial intelligence and technology stocks are experiencing a bubble.How to invest during economic uncertainty without gambling on hype.Why systems create powerful individuals—not the other way around.How families can build banks, investment structures, and generational leverage.Donald Trump, the MAGA movement, political independence, reparations, and voting power.Why economic strength requires strategy, negotiation, coordination, and the willingness to think much bigger.This conversation challenges the idea that freedom will come from being accepted by existing institutions. It presents another pathway: understand the system, study how power operates, build your own infrastructure, and position the next generation to thrive instead of merely survive.WHY YOU SHOULD WATCHThis episode is for entrepreneurs, investors, parents, educators, community builders, creators, and leaders who want to understand the deeper relationship between money and power.You will learn:The difference between income, ownership, influence, and economic control.How to protect your mission from criticism, censorship, and outside interference.Why mentorship and sponsorship can change the trajectory of Black men.How family offices and family banks preserve wealth across generations.How to approach AI, technology, stocks, and long-term investing intelligently.Why political power must be negotiated before support is given.How communities can transform influence into infrastructure and economic force.BUILD YOUR NETWORK, COMMUNITY, AND DIGITAL ECONOMYVisit ZIION.IOFREE AI AND INCOME WEBINARFor access to the free webinar from 19Keys about artificial intelligence and using AI to create income, join the free webinar inside the Black Business School by visiting:19keys.com/bbsEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Economics Is Warfare02:00 — Credentials, Artificial Intelligence and the Meaning of Mastery10:00 — Turning Your Greatest Weakness Into a Strength15:00 — Truth, Activism and the Cost of Going Against the Grain18:00 — Can Black America Still Build Economic Sovereignty?25:00 — Understanding Power, Criticism and Opposition28:00 — Separating Constructive Criticism From Distraction32:00 — “You Can't Cancel a Soldier”36:00 — Why Community Empowerment Needs a Sustainable Business Model40:00 — What Does Being Pro-Black Actually Mean?42:00 — Health, Wealth and Relationships52:00 — Systemic Racism and Systems Thinking54:00 — Manufacturing Black Privilege Through Ownership56:00 — Why Black Men Are Severely Under-Mentored01:00:00 — Building Mentorship, Sponsorship and Protection Networks01:07:00 — Black Unity, Michael Jordan and Intentional Employment01:08:00 — Do Black Billionaires Owe the Community?01:14:00 — Family Offices and Who Controls Black Wealth01:17:00 — Investment Versus Charity01:22:00 — Investing in Black AI, Technology and Venture Capital01:23:00 — Stop Thinking Small: Building Billion-Dollar Ideas01:27:00 — Creating Independent Media and Economic Systems01:29:00 — Why Real Power Moves Strategically01:31:00 — Economics Is Warfare: Prepare to Be Attacked01:32:00 — Building Outside the Matrix With ZIION01:39:00 — The Hidden History of Black Coalitions and Nation-Building01:43:00 — Is Artificial Intelligence an Economic Bubble?01:46:00 — How to Invest During Market Uncertainty01:49:00 — Elon Musk, Key-Man Risk and Technology Empires01:51:00 — Powerful Individuals Are Products of Powerful Systems01:54:00 — Quantum Computing and Undervalued Future Technologies01:59:00 — What Could the Next 10 to 20 Years Look Like?02:04:00 — Healthcare, Capitalism and the Incentive to Manage Disease02:09:00 — Money, Ethics and Financial Consciousness02:14:00 — Family Banks, Infrastructure and Generational Capital02:18:00 — Why Schools Teach Employment Instead of Ownership02:20:00 — Turning Your Family Name Into an Institution02:23:00 — Self-Worth, Asset Value and Building Your Own Name02:25:00 — The MAGA Question02:28:00 — Studying Power Without Worshipping Powerful People02:30:00 — How to Give Your Children a Financial Head Start02:37:00 — Stop Depending on Systems That Were Not Built for You02:43:00 — Power, Competition and Self-Preservation02:45:00 — Reparations, Negotiation and Leverage02:48:00 — Putting the Black Vote in Escrow02:50:00 — The New Political Classes02:55:00 — Leaders, Impact and Building Economic Infrastructure02:57:00 — Final Words and Closinghttps://youtu.be/_RBftcP3Gng Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/19keys/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this GrowNLearn episode, host Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Travis D. Hahler, Senior Director of Global Strategy & Transformation at Salesforce, founder of The Neurological Nomad, and author of Rethink Resistance: Embracing Neuroscience to Lead Transformational Change. Why do so many well-funded, well-communicated transformation initiatives still fail? Travis brings a neuroscience-informed perspective to one of the biggest challenges in business today: why people resist change, why AI transformation creates fear and uncertainty, and how leaders can stop treating resistance as opposition — and start reading it as useful information. The conversation explores why 70–80% of transformation efforts fail, how the brain interprets change as loss, why AI adoption must be handled as a group experience rather than an individual survival test, and how executives can reduce anxiety without lowering ambition. You'll learn: • Why traditional change management frameworks often miss the human layer • How AI transformation changes the way leaders should support adoption • Why “all change equals loss” — and what leaders should do with that insight • How exclusion, uncertainty, competence loss, control loss, and relationship loss shape resistance • Why resistance is not something to fight, but something to investigate • How leaders can distinguish neurological resistance from real strategic or technical blockers • Why successful transformation depends on adoption, not just implementation • How executives can think about the ROI of change through the cost of failed adoption This episode is especially relevant for founders, executives, transformation leaders, HR leaders, change managers, consultants, and investors evaluating whether a company can actually execute its growth strategy.

Family offices and high-net-worth investors — whose fortunes have expanded dramatically, according to a couple of 2026 global wealth reports — have become some of the most dominant players in commercial real estate, and that influence is only growing, outspending institutional investors by a margin of about $120 billion. To discuss this trend, we are joined by Brian Bullard, investment strategies and capital solutions chairman at law firm Polsinelli, from where he works on commercial real estate investment deals with clients operating in that space.

Diese Folge wird remote aufgenommen: Isabel am Wörthersee, Lukas in Wien – und das Türkis des Sees ist, so viel sei verraten, bereits im ersten Satz zu spüren. Lukas kommt frisch aus einer vollgepackten Woche zurück: Fireside Chat in München mit dem Wiener Gesundheits-Startup NYRA HEALTH, Gespräche mit Gründerinnen, Unternehmerinnen, Family Offices und eine Erkenntnis, die hängen, die von der darauffolgenden Uni-Vorlesung bleibt – nämlich warum das amerikanische Rechtssystem auf Einzelfallentscheidungen basiert, während wir in Europa Gesetzestexte haben. Und dann noch ein Zitat, das die ganze Woche zusammenfasst: Take your work seriously, but not yourself. Der eigentliche Kern der Folge ist das Thema Stundenwert – wie bepreist man sich als Selbstständige/r, wenn die Leistung längst nicht alles ist, was zählt? Netzwerk, Marke, gelebte Erfahrung: das sind Dinge, die man schwer in eine Rechnung packt, die aber den Unterschied machen. Ein Studienkollege brachte es auf den Punkt: Es dauert so lange, wie man alt ist. 42 Jahre bedeutet, es hat 42 Jahre gedauert, um zu wissen, was man jetzt weiß. Die gesamte Lebenserfahrung steckt in der Stunde — und genau das ist ihr Preis. Wer das früher versteht, verliert weniger. Lukas erlebt im ÖBB Railjet Business Class – seinem klaren Favorit für österreichische Strecken – eine äußerst amüsante und sagen wir individuelle Bestellsituation. Buchempfehlung der Folge: Poor Charlie's Almanack von Charlie Munger. Isabel will Lukas' “Love Language” herausfinden, aber das gelingt ihr nicht ganz…

What happens when overlooked innovators are empowered to solve problems for communities often left out of the conversation—and, even more, when those innovators have lived experience of the challenges they're addressing? In this episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast, Marcia sits down with Brittany and Rich Palmer, a dynamic entrepreneurial couple, to explore how true innovation and impact are ignited at the intersection of necessity, lived experience, and meaningful capital. Brittany and Rich Palmer are not only successful entrepreneurs and angel investors but are also the visionary founders behind Adaptation Ventures, an investment firm and community dedicated to empowering startups focused on disability, neurodivergence, accessibility, and aging.
