“We're talking about giving space to practice. Not only practice the relationships but also practice managing money.” -Sean Maher   Most people plan their estate down to the last dollar, but forget to prepare for the emotional fallout that almost always comes from a lack of proper communication between family members.   Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with husband and wife team Sean and Jill Maher to talk about their book The Greatest Gift: 9 Principles for the Transfer of Your Legacy Along with Your Wealth, which journeys into the emotional side of passing down wealth and family legacy.   The idea for the book came after Sean, a financial advisor, saw a well-planned inheritance fall apart when a family started fighting after their parents passed. He brought the issue home to Jill, a mental health counselor, who pointed out that what he was really seeing wasn't a planning problem—it was grief. Together, they've come up with nine key principles that help families avoid drama and stay connected regarding inheritance.   The big takeaway? It's not just about the money. No matter how much (or little) you're passing on, what matters most is communication, shared values, and emotional safety.   Jill and Sean suggest families start having small, low-pressure meetings early, while everyone's still around to talk things through. It's about creating space for honest conversations, building trust, and setting expectations. Their advice blends practical planning with emotional wisdom, encouraging people to treat legacy as a relationship, not just a transaction.   At the heart of it all, their message is simple: don't avoid the tough conversations—have them, and carry them out with love.   Key Topics: Why Sean and Jill Wrote The Greatest Gift (00:49) “You're Passing on Not Just Money, But Also Legacy” (04:33) How to Set Up and Facilitate the Inheritance Conversation with a Family (10:22) Setting Expectations Upfront to Nip Objections in the Bud (21:07) Why Sharing Your Story is So Critical (28:52) Nurturing Independence (35:53) Creating a Safe Environment for Your Children (45:49)   Resources: The Greatest Gift Book USE COUPON CODE: takebackretirement for $5 off and free shipping!   If you like what you've been hearing, we invite you to subscribe on your favorite platform and leave us a review.

On this episode of The Founder's Sandbox, Brenda speaks with Alexa Steinberg – a corporate and transactional attorney for middle-market companies and entrepreneurs. Acting as outside general counsel, Alexa represents privately held companies in a wide range of general corporate and transactional matters, including entity formation, structuring, and commercial transactions. With a focus on mergers and acquisitions, she offers clients guidance on structuring deals and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Brenda and Alexa discuss her journey from working at a small, all-female law firm to joining a full-service firm to better support her clients. Alexa shares how her parents—both deeply involved in business and community service—shaped her values around financial literacy, record-keeping, and the importance of building generational wealth. They speak about family-owned businesses and best practices in family governance, such as setting clear roles, regular meetings, and involving independent board members. Alexa also emphasizes the importance of building trust with clients and maintaining a purpose-driven, relational legal practice. Brenda and Alexa explore what "purpose-driven," "resilience," and "scalable" mean within the context of business and legal practice.

Thank you. 01:18 Welcome back to the Founders Sandbox. I am Brenda McCabe, your host of this monthly podcast where I have guests that are either founders, professional service providers, corporate  board directors  that actually share a mission with me, which is bringing change to the world through great corporate governance, but building resilient, scalable and purpose-driven companies.  On a monthly basis,  my guests are going to tell their origin stories and kind of how I've met them. 01:48 through the work they do.  And I've recreated a fun sandbox environment in which we do storytelling. And ultimately we will touch upon resilience, purpose-driven  and  scalable or sustainable growth in the  businesses that they are  working in or owners of.  02:17 l I'm absolutely delighted to have as my guest today, Alexa Steinberg, Alexa is counsel  at Greenberg, Glasgow.  And before that, she was actually practicing in a smaller law firm and where her story today is going to kind of have some some 02:47 lessons learned on  why she chose to leave the firm and move into Greenberg, the Greenberg Lasker. But more importantly, you and I go back a couple years. are part of an informal group of women. We call ourselves Women and Wealth.  We meet periodically to really refer business to each other for those women business owners that 03:16 are seeking perhaps an exit in the next three to five years.  And through our skillset, some of us are CPAs, strategy advisors, yourself as counsel. A lot of these businesses are family owned. And so you and I and another, know, seven other ladies  get to meet each other over lunch and discuss these opportunities. And we're all very passionate about helping women business owners. Aren't we, 03:44 We are Brenda, thank you so much for having me on the Founder's Sandbox.  I am an avid listener, so I'm very excited that I get to be a guest. Thank you, thank you.  you know,  we've had many, conversations, obviously,  but I wanted for my listeners  to really dive into  what you do today, right? Which is really  purpose. 04:12 driven and it's preserving family wealth, right?  And I know that you actually come from a background where your father owned his business. So tell us  a bit, us down memory lane and that first story that you told me.  Well, you know, growing up, I watched both of my parents. My mother was a career woman.  My father, a financial planner. 04:38 running his  own book.  My mother,  a buyer and then in fashion and then into real estate.  I watched they were both very involved in the community. My mother sat on  the Studio City Council,  the Neighborhood Council. She was on many boards involved with the temple. My father as well  sat on many boards involved with the 05:07 Boys and Girls Club,  and  involved with the Jewish Federation. So I watched as my parents  really instilled the importance of being involved in  community, being involved in family, being involved  in the greater good and in purposeful and meaningful  organizations.  And I... 05:35 sort of learned a lot about that watching them both in their respective arenas being involved. And you know, they've, they've truly inspired me,  not only in my career path, but in  how I treat my clients  in the arenas that I've become involved in.  There's a specific story that I think I've shared with you, Brenda, about my father and how he sort of taught me 06:05 the value of wealth, the value of money, because as his career, that was what he did. He focused mainly on planning for retirement and financially setting yourself up and your family up to have generational wealth and what that looked like and how you could prepare for it when you were 10, 15, 20, 25 years old, preparing for family, preparing for children. 06:35 So when I turned 16, my father went into our QuickBooks. We had a family QuickBooks.  Oh, wow. That was before it was actually.  It was probably  a hard disk, right? Not even on the internet. Oh, yeah. It was like a hard disk. had a full set up, massive computers, the whole thing,  in our family office.  And he went into his QuickBooks. And he took. 07:03 what he spent on me in a year.  And he divided it by 12. And this  included insurance. Mind you, I just turned 16. So my car insurance, my car lease,  medical, entertainment,  my tennis lessons, all of these things that  were spent on me, what it cost  for me to function.  Children are expensive, you know. 07:32 I was very expensive because I will tell you that check was large  that he cut me every month.  And he laid out, these are the things that are monthly expenses for you that you need to pay with this money. And the rest you can use on entertainment,  gifts,  shopping, which I loved.  But I had to learn to balance my checkbook and balance 08:01 this amount of money, because I wasn't able to get any more until the next month.  And  that really taught me how that  money  was never something that was readily expendable to me. even if I went to Starbucks and I bought a drink with my father's credit card, he'd ask me for the receipt. He'd want to know where the receipt was, always. 08:28 I was very meticulous in his record keeping which I am now very much meticulous in my record keeping  and  I enforce with my clients and  make sure that record keeping is so important in your business as well.  You know and so when I when I graduated high school my father said to me okay the checks are done.  And you need to go get a job in college. 08:56 And what I will do is I will subsidize the paycheck that you bring home. So if you bring home $600, I will pay you 50 cents on the dollar for what you bring home, but only up to $300. So I could get a max of $300 every paycheck that he would subsidize. And then that was  how  I had money to live and to function. my parents,  I was lucky enough that my parents would pay for my college. 09:24 in my housing, in my dorms,  but  it was still really teaching me the value  of money.  And my father required that a certain portion of those funds get put away in savings and invested. And he would tell me how to do that.  And he would guide me.  because my father was a financial planner,  he would call me like a client and say, listen, 09:53 You're 70 % stocks, 30 % cash. I think you need to swap it. Let's talk about what that means. And of course, I'm like, you're my dad. Just do it. Why are we having this conversation? But it was so valuable because he wanted me to understand what he was doing and why he was doing it and how it really functioned. that I've also taken into how I guide and advise my clients. 10:22 I don't just do for them. understand, I want them to understand  how we're doing it, why we're doing it, what the alternatives  are and what it means if we do it this way or that way.  You know, a lot of my discussions with my clients are about strategy and about structure and  so they can make an informed decision.  You know, I think that that's extremely important, especially in a family business.  Working with your family is tough. So, 10:52 The way that you can make it that much easier is communication and understanding and knowledge. And I try to arm my clients with that. And that's something that my father really taught me.  my mother as well,  because my father managed our money and my mother  would bring it home and hand my father a check and be like, here, I don't know what you do with it, but do something with it. 11:21 She also  would, he would say, hold on a second. Like, I know you just sold a house and here's your commission check, but let me show you what we do with this and how we create generational wealth and how we invest it and what the best benefit for these funds are and how to use debt to our advantage.  Um, you know, and that's all of these things were such a value add that  I 11:51 I obtained understanding about and that I've now turned this value add to my clients  and how they run their business.  I'm not a financial advisor, I'm not a tax attorney. These are just really sort of  general  understandings and general guidance points for my clients to go out and  have knowledgeable conversations with the appropriate 12:21 guidance, appropriate people,  and the appropriate service providers that are going to help them accomplish those things. really,  this is very loaded, but I really like  the methods your father used. very, well, first of all, intentional  and bespoke. And that's really, and he did communicate to your mother, right? To instill also in her an understanding 12:52 of although she's bringing the check home because many, many women business owners today oftentimes do not own a majority of their companies. Right. And that is a shocking  statistic that I run into time and time again that women actually don't know how much  equity they have in their own business. Right. So just the informing and,  and you've translated that bespoke, you know, communicating 13:22 helping your clients understand,  pardon me, and  providing options as well as access to other professional service providers as  your own bespoke  offering to your clients. But it wasn't always like, yeah, go. That's sort of the benefit of the group that you and I met in and all of the networking opportunities that I've been involved in.  Of course,  networking is about building 13:51 um, your brand and your book and,  um, but a majority of it and the real value there  is  meeting and learning and understanding, um, and really coming to know people that can help your clients  where you can't,  um, and having  trustworthy referral sources to do that, because I'm not just going to tell my client, Oh, 14:18 this individual can help you with wealth management, call them without knowing how this person functions, without knowing  how they run their clientele,  how they do business. Those are really important things and to have trustworthy referral sources  is really important. And that's sort of what our group is  all about. That's right.  And it wasn't always like this. 14:46 Right, you graduated from law school  and started with a small, it was a, I think  a female-led law firm.  all female attorneys. Yeah, so what was your, this is right out of college, what were you doing  and what then informed your decision at a very tender age to leave?  So  right out of law school, 15:17 had worked my way through law school. I worked in family law for about five or six years. during the day, I was at a law firm. And in the evening, I took classes from 5 to 10 PM, four days a week for four years. took me four years to get through law school. And when I graduated, unfortunately, I wasn't afforded 15:47 All of the opportunities in law school  that most law students take advantage of, externships,  fellowships, things like that, because I was working my way through. I  had already been financially independent and I  wanted to stay that way. So I didn't want to quit my job  to go to school. I  wanted to be able to do it all. 16:15 So as a result, I really didn't have  the summer clerkships  that turn into job offers.  And I was a little lost because I had taken the bar exam and I was like, OK,  I'm not an attorney yet. But in three months, if I pass the bar exam, I could be.  Am I applying for law clerk positions? Am I applying for associate positions? Like, know, I was so lost.  And I went on Craigslist.  Oh my goodness. 16:44 And I found law firms that were hiring because I figured those people, you know, they're they're looking to hire somebody now, which is what I'm looking for. and hopefully those people, you know, will transition me into an associate role. If I pass the bar exam in a few months. And that was that was like my first sort of in. And I joined a very boutique law firm in West Hollywood. It was 17:13 By the time I left, we were three female attorneys. were  all female  for my entire tenure there. I was there for six and a half years.  And it was  in  late 2019,  early 2020 that I really decided I wanted more for my career and for my book of business. And I wanted to be able to  provide my clients  with a well-rounded 17:43 advice and guidance. I can't do it all, nor should I. I'm pretty sure my malpractice of insurance wouldn't like that. Not at all. But more and more, had clients that were asking me to help with litigation matters or employment matters. And those are arenas that I know just enough about to be dangerous. But I'm not going to run a full litigation. 18:13 I can't willfully and knowledgeably advise on employment matters.  You know, especially to  do justice by my client, do well by them.  I'd like to be able to  have somebody for them that they can speak to and trust and get the advice and counsel that they need.  And that really stemmed  my yearning to  branch out. 18:42 and go to a firm where I had all of those resources at my fingertips. I wanted more for my career, but my biggest drive was I wanted more for my clients.  I wanted really to be able to provide them with well-rounded, multidisciplinary  counsel.  And so I sought out  full-service law firms. 19:11 I found my home at Greenberg Gloucester, which  is a fantastic place to be.  I'm very happy there and everybody is so fantastic and  everybody is so good at what they do.  We've got employment and tax and  IP and litigation,  environmental, entertainment,  you name it.  And it's been such a benefit not only to my career, 19:41 to my clients, but I've learned  so much.  And is it true?  How would you characterize the typical clients without revealing, you know, confidential matters? Is it  also a firm that's  very oriented towards family owned businesses? Would you say that? Yeah, I would. You know, I'm  a counsel in the corporate and tax department. 20:08 And you we don't have a ton of institutional clients.  A lot of our clients are family owned businesses, mostly held entities,  you know, which I love on a daily basis. I am working with  two sisters that own a business together or a multi-generational company where, you know, senior is working with G2 and  G3  or 20:37 were actually this morning I was working on  assigning interests and reorganizing and restructuring a bunch of entities that own a bunch of real estate for clients.  And that's also  the kind of benefit that I get that I get to be pulled into  real estate matters with my corporate expertise to help a family office restructure their ownership. 21:04 You know, and I  love that stuff. We're extremely,  the way that Greenberg  provides advice and counsel  is on a very personal level. The way that  the firm  and myself, especially, we're a lifestyle firm.  You know, we understand that attorneys are people outside of 21:33 the walls of the office and that we all have lives.  And we, you know, I translate that to my clients. My clients have lives. My clients have other things going on than their business.  And especially when you deal with family offices and family businesses, there's a whole different dynamic  of  family interaction. Yes. You know, and, and I have now experienced that  not only with my clients  and sometimes I become 22:03 therapist in that regard, although I'm a very expensive therapist. I'm sure there people that are less per hour.  But  I'm experiencing it firsthand because my husband  has his own business with his brother  and I have  become  advice and counsel for them  as well. And so I'm  seeing it sort of from a different angle too, but I think that my clients truly appreciate 22:32 that when I talk to them, I talk to them as a person. It's not just as a business owner. It's not just as  I'm guiding you with this  legal advice.  It has to make sense.  And it has to  be actually applicable.  And sometimes what my advice and guidance would be  in sort of this like legal  box  is not the best. 23:00 for my client and how their business is operating.  And you've got to be  sort of fluid with that. And bespoke.  Yeah, so it's really beyond, it's not a transactional relationship. It is a trustworthy relationship based on the values of the family businesses that and their goals in preserving wealth  or continuing to generate family wealth. Yeah, absolutely. This is a great segue because you know, I also 23:29 passionate and have often guests that are sitting on corporate boards.  As counsel, have you observed any best practices and family governance structure? You talk about G1,  G2, G3, Have you observed any  best practices? We don't have to talk about bad practices, right? But any best practices that you would like to share here?  Yeah, you know,  I think that  I've observed that 23:59 Some of the most effective family governance structures prioritize clear communication,  well-defined roles,  professionalized decision-making.  I use this in a very loose  sense of the word, but you could establish a family constitution. Creating a board of advisors is always really important. 24:28 having independent members  in your board of advisors  is so incredibly valuable to have a knowledgeable, independent  person that can help through disputes. business disputes are one thing, but when you include a family dynamic in these disputes,  emotions can get high and heated. And so having  an independent third board 24:57 Third party board is extremely valuable. Somebody that can guide you, something that your family trusts. Those are some big things that I've seen as best practices. And I think that lastly, holding dedicated, regular meetings. 25:23 You'll talk about business, you know, at the dinner table or, you know, out and about you're at a kid, one of your niece's birthday parties and everyone's there and you're like, Hey, did you see that email from XYZ? We got to figure out how to handle that.  But  those are not the time and place and you're not going to have a productive conversation. And so you need to set aside and create boundaries between your family life and your business life  and set aside regular times. 25:53 weekly, bi-weekly, to have an hour conversation about what's going on, any disputes that need to be discussed, any decisions that need to be made.  And that's your time to solely be in your business mode.  Because having these conversation piece meals,  dinner on a Saturday night,  or  a family's birthday party, or  a holiday party, 26:22 It's not effective  for your business. And one of the biggest,  best practices  and the most, one of the most important goals  is to preserve your family relationships. Beautiful. You heard it here on the founder's sandbox to preserve family.  Absolutely.  Cause if you don't have family, do you have? That's right. 26:52 Family first. really important.  It's really important. And sometimes business can get in the middle of family relationships.  And it hurts to see that. It hurts to see  business  tear between  brothers,  tear between  father and son.  And I've seen those things in it.  There needs to be just a second to breathe. Yes. 27:21 and realize that there are bigger things than business  and that they need to be resolved, but they can only be resolved if you have a good relationship with your business partner slash your family.  They're your biggest support. 27:37 This has been immensely  actionable  in terms of  governance, the best practice you've seen in family offices. So thank you. Thank you for that. It's not often that I do have  a  lawyer  that works in this  arena.  Although family businesses just in the LA  ecosystem is 28:05 It's very predominant. very, very, you know, third, actually third and fourth generation now. So very relevant to your business and mine. Let's switch gears. You are, I believe, sitting on the board of directors or one of the committees of the Association of Corporate Growth. Yes. And tell us a bit what why what is the Association of Corporate Growth and what committees do you serve on? 28:35 And how do you further your business there? Thank you. The Association of Corporate Growth or ACG is a national organization  for professionals in the M &A sphere. So  you've got members that are  VCs, investment bankers,  M &A attorneys, wealth managers,  insurance specialists.  You sort of name it. Anybody that's 29:03 has some sort of involvement  in the purchase or sale of a business  or just surround sort of just general business governance that either prepare for an exit. You know,  those are the kind of people that are members of ACG.  And I got involved a few years ago.  And I think three years now, I've been sitting  on the Women's Committee,  which is a 29:31 Fantastic. We schedule and create women-focused programming within the confines of the ACG organization and really promote networking amongst women. More and more, I have had clients that have requested that they only work with women. 29:58 You know, and this sort of goes back to what I was talking about earlier about being able to provide  trustworthy referrals.  And I've met some incredible, incredible women in connection with ACJ. In fact, our group kind of came out of ACJ. This is how I met you, Brenda. And so  it's been a fantastic, fantastic  network to be a part of.  You know, I love planning the programming, our programming. 30:28 ranges everywhere from  talking about the state of the market  to  balancing family and career and what that looks like and  mental health. I think  I hate calling out a distinction that we are women in business  because I think a 30:57 A business person is a business person. I don't think it needs to be defined as such, but there is something to be said about the fact that  women have a different set of challenges in the workplace  than men do.  And a lot of those stem from  family life.  And that needs to be  balanced. And so there's a lot of programming  that the women's committee puts on that sort of 31:26 talks about that and  gears us in that direction  and gives us tools to be successful and to strive  in the face  of everything else that women just have to  deal with and take care of. That's for another episode here. Yes, very much so. Very much so, yes, as we all have balanced our careers and family priorities, right? 31:56 Let's switch gears. How do my  listeners contact you? How's the best way?  Well,  so I'm at again, I'm at Greenberg Gloucester. We're in Century City.  They can email me. It's  a Steinberg at gg firm.com.  And on our Greenberg Gloucester website, if you search people, I've got my whole bio and all of my contact information as well. Excellent. 32:25 Well, that will appear in the show notes. All right. So we're coming into the final  part of this podcast in which I actually  enjoy asking my guests  what the meaning is of certain terms that I actually practice with my clients. I'm working with purpose-driven companies, resilience. We work on resilience tactics  and  scalable business is sustainable. So I  always love the opportunity to hear 32:55 firsthand from my guess. What does purpose-driven mean to you, Purpose-driven means  a mission that goes beyond profit.  It taps into creating meaningful value for your customers,  for your employees,  for the community that  you operate in.  It's sort of about  building a company that 33:25 that stands for something.  And I'm very pleased to say that we have seen so many more companies  start out of a purpose-driven  goal.  There's a bunch of old companies and new companies. There's  a lot of companies that have this sort of one-for-one model. You buy one, we donate one. 33:52 There are socks companies, there are eyeglass companies, there are shoe companies, there are cleaning product companies  that sort of have  this  as their motto. And  then you see  additionally,  know, products and companies that are committed to the environment or sustainability and cleanup efforts. You know, that's really what  purpose-driven 34:21 means to me is that  these companies have a goal.  They want to accomplish something more than what they can show on their balance sheet. consumers of that product are helping them achieve that.  Excellent. Excellent. You've touched on even other aspects like  sustainable growth, right? Yeah. Right. What is resilience? You've been particularly resilient. 34:49 You having a father like your father,  building life skills early. would resilience,  what's the meaning to you? 35:00 Resilience is about  navigating challenges  with adaptability and with determination. It's about learning from your setbacks  instead of being defined by them, having them be a fire to your growth and having them  be the galvanization of your progress forward. 35:30 You know, and in business, it also can be about the ability to  pivot while staying aligned with your long-term goals, about the ability to,  you know, okay, there's a new regulatory,  new regulation that's gonna affect the way we operate. Okay, how are we gonna pivot to continue doing what we do,  but still can  stay in compliance?  You know,  that's really, 35:59 what it's all beyond your toes.  Excellent. And you're scalable. I'd like you to kind of share the meaning within the context of scaling the legal practice. What have you found to be  particularly  challenging or easy to do? Right. And scaling, right. Because it's a very bespoke practice. Is there any important, right? Scaling is absolutely important. Okay. 36:28 In my practice and in my business,  number one  goal  and  the biggest  galvanization point of scaling my practice  are my clients, my current clients. If you do a good job for them, they'll continue to come back. 36:59 and they'll continue to give you more business.  Creating a network. I watched my parents in their, both of their practices. All of our family friends  at this point have at one point or another been a client of my mother's or of my father's.  They've swapped clients,  referred to each other. And these individuals either started as friends and became clients. 37:29 or  became friends because they were clients.  And  that is the way that both of my parents have built their practice and their brands.  And that's how I want to do it too. It's a value add when,  attorneys are scary to begin with.  Nobody wants to talk to an attorney. It's expensive. Half the time you have no idea what they're talking about. It's language. 37:57 You know, but if you create this relationship of trust and of loyalty and friendship  and when you feel like your attorney  sees beyond just you as a dollar figure or you as a business,  it goes such a long way.

Guest: David Werdiger, Director of Nathanson Pearson and bestselling author of "Transition: How to Prepare Your Family and Business for the Greatest Wealth Transfer in History"Key Discussion Points:[03:00] David discusses joining the family business - how being the youngest of five children with a significant age gap influenced his decision not to immediately join the family textile manufacturing business.[04:47] Origins of the family business - David's cousins came to Australia in the 1920s, while his father (a Holocaust survivor) arrived in the late 1940s/early 1950s. They built a textile manufacturing business that eventually transitioned to property investment.[08:14] Pattern recognition in wealthy immigrant families - David notices how immigrant entrepreneurs often transition from business to real estate investments, seeing property as a way to establish roots in their new country.[09:18] The great wealth transfer - David explains how the baby boomer generation created unprecedented wealth that is now being passed down, complicated by longer lifespans.[13:07] Will vs. Family Charter - The increasing importance of family governance as wealth transfers require more sophisticated planning with multiple generations alive simultaneously.[15:49] Power dynamics - David explores the critical role of power transfer between generations and the challenge of teaching responsible ownership.[19:05] Family governance - The transition from single decision-maker to multiple decision-makers and the governance structures needed to make this work.[24:02] Power and responsibility - How families must teach the next generation that "with great power comes great responsibility" when inheriting wealth.[26:36] Sibling dynamics - Why shared genetic material doesn't guarantee harmony, and how birth order and family circumstances affect each child's experience.[33:52] The four-generation reality - With increasing lifespans, families now face the challenge of having four generations alive at once, creating a "sandwich generation" caught between aging parents and capable adult children.[38:44] The business as identity - How founders view their businesses as children, creating emotional challenges when transitioning ownership.[49:54] Stories as the cultural bridge - The vital importance of family stories in transmitting values, especially when the original business is gone.[54:30] Living your own dream - The tension between individual aspirations and family legacy, and finding the balance between collective identity and personal fulfillment.[57:42] Definition of success - David defines success as getting up excited every day, having a healthy family who share each other's joys and sorrows, and helping other families achieve the same.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

Join Kosta and his guest: Matt Brown, Certified Financial Planner, Branch Manager and Generational Wealth Planner at 304 Family Wealth of Raymond James. In this episode: Money is the last taboo topic. We'd rather talk about almost anything than how much money we make or have. That's helped create a society of people who don't really understand how money works - or how it could work for them. What do you wish you could tell everyone about their own wealth and financial success? Thinking about the future is intimidating. As someone that works in long-term care, I know firsthand how much we'll do to not think about the future. But when it comes to retirement, and building wealth especially for Gen-X, Millennials and Gen-Z, what do we need to be doing now? We live in economically uncertain times. Whether it's tariffs, inflation, interest rates or egg prices, every day brings new excitement. How is this changing the way you're advising clients and what should we prepare for next?Legal Disclosures from Raymond James: Any opinions are those of Matthew Brown and not necessarily those of Raymond James.

Business Succession: Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth - Generational Wealth and Financial Successhttp://www.ValuationPodcast.com  https://www.valuationmediation.com  Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com, where we explore the intricate world of business valuation and the complex dynamics of family wealth. I'm Melissa Gragg, a seasoned valuation expert and divorce financial mediator from St. Louis, Missouri. Today, we delve into the profound topic of inherited trauma and its influence on family wealth with special guest Ruschelle Khanna. Ruschelle, an esteemed family advisor, mediator, and therapist, brings her expertise and her new book, "Inherited Trauma and Family Wealth," to the table, discussing how deep-seated family issues can affect financial security and business succession.Questions Discussed: Can you explain what inherited trauma is and how it specifically impacts financial behaviors?What is the impact of inherited trauma / generational patterns on our financial well-being?What is one immediate step someone can take today to break free from generational financial trauma?How can people create a new financial legacy without guilt or fear of repeating past mistakes?If you could give one piece of advice to someone trying to rewrite their financial story, what would it be?Key Podcast Takeaways:Understanding Inherited Trauma: Inherited trauma, as Ruschelle explains, isn't just about the psychological patterns passed down through generations; it also includes actual genetic memories and traumas that manifest in family behaviors and personal fears that seem unlinked to one's own experiences.The Impact on Financial Behavior: Inherited trauma can significantly influence financial decisions and behaviors. Ruschelle discusses how these traumas can lead to profound fears and anxieties about money, which may not always be conscious but deeply affect how individuals and families manage their wealth.Identifying Inherited Trauma: Identifying whether a fear or behavior is a result of inherited trauma can be tricky. Ruschelle suggests looking at the age when certain fears manifest—often mirroring the age of a past family trauma—as a clue to their origins.Approaching Financial Wellbeing: Ruschelle outlines practical steps for addressing inherited financial traumas, such as understanding the specific ways trauma affects one's sense of security, emotional connection to money, and ability to make sound financial decisions.Therapeutic Solutions and Family Governance: Ruschelle advocates for both traditional therapeutic approaches and practical measures like setting up strong family governance structures to manage and mitigate the effects of inherited trauma on family wealth and business operations.Connect with Ruschelle: https://www.ruschellekhanna.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ruschelle-khanna-lifestyle-for-legacy/Buy Ruschelle's book here:https://www.lifestyleforlegacy.com/bookConnect with Melissa:Melissa Gragg  CVA, MAFFExpert testimony for financial and valuation issues  Bridge Valuation Partners, LLC  melissa@bridgevaluation.com  http://www.BridgeValuation.com  http://www.ValuationPodcast.com  http://www.MediatorPodcast.com  https://www.valuationmediation.com  https://www.thedivorceallies.com/Cell: (314) 541-8163Support the show

If you've been following the news lately, chances are you've heard of Luigi Mangione, the man at the center of recent headlines for allegedly shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. While the criminal case has drawn widespread attention, what caught our interest is a surprising detail about Mangione's personal life: he's reportedly listed as a beneficiary in his wealthy grandmother's estate. Even more intriguing, the will allegedly includes a precatory clause—or “wish language”—suggesting that beneficiaries charged with a felony could forfeit their inheritance.    In this episode of Absolute Trust Counsel, host Kirsten Howe and attorneys Jessica Colbert and Ariana Flynn dive into the concept of precatory clauses, their potential legal implications, and what this could mean for Mangione. Don't miss this fascinating discussion!    Time-stamped Show Notes:   0:00 Introduction 1:40 Unpacking Luigi Mangione's Inheritance: Discover how Luigi Mangione's grandmother's estate entered the spotlight and why estate planners like us find it so intriguing. 2:25 Has anyone actually seen a copy of the will? We reveal what sources are saying and why there's still plenty of missing information. 3:38 A term every estate planner (and beneficiary) should know is Precatory Language. We break down what it means and how it can affect your inheritance. 4:50 If you rely on non-binding language in your will, you could invite costly disputes among your heirs. Next, we explain how to avoid this pitfall. 6:48 With limited information available, we still offer insights into what might happen next with Luigi's share—and how you can protect your own estate from similar issues. 7:22 Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into estate planning and real-life drama. We hope you enjoyed it and picked up tips for your own estate plan. Stay tuned for our next episode!

Estate Settlement is one of the most feared parts of wealth transition. It is where trust and estate planning meet their first real test- usually when a will is put in front of the probate court system. JOEL SCHOENMEYER, Head of the Family Wealth Group at a Major Regional Bank joins us to discuss the ins and outs. https://youtu.be/OwepMwX0uao?si=YKevHbmDrtrRv12b What is Joel's background? I spent the first 15+ years of my career as a trusts and estates attorney. First at a few different law firms, including Sidley Austin – back when they had a T&E group. Then as a solo practitioner for more than a decade. In 2012 I made the transition to working for financial institutions, where I have held a number of roles: Legal department, in the trust counsel group Senior Trust Advisor on an ultra-high net worth team National Head of Estate Settlement Senior Wealth Strategist in a multi-family office group I'm now in charge of the Family Wealth group at Fifth Third, which is an offering for ultra-high net worth clients and families. Just broadly, can you explain what happens from a legal perspective when someone dies? Sure. First, a little terminology: “Estate settlement” is the overall process of wrapping up a deceased person's affairs, a job that's usually handled by an “executor”. That settlement process can include lots of different things, but it can be broken down into a few broad topics: Inventorying and collecting all assets; Identifying and then paying debts and expenses, including taxes (both final income taxes and, if the estate is large enough, estate taxes); and Distributing what remains according to the decedent's estate plan (or if they didn't have one, according to state law). “Probate” can be a part of estate settlement, and involves court supervision of the above process, to make sure that it is handled correctly. I spent some of my time as an attorney drafting Wills and Trusts. However, I spent even more time in court, dealing with probate issues (including litigation). We are going to be talking about messy estate settlement issues and how to avoid them. Why is this important? I will say that, throughout my career, I have met clients (or potential clients) who say, “I don't care what happens when I die – that's someone else's problem.” However, most people do NOT want to cause problems for their loved ones. The death of a parent or spouse or sibling is difficult enough without having to figure out where their stuff is, or what they wanted to do with it.There's also the positive aspect. You have family and friends – and possibly charities – that you hope will thrive after your passing. Why wouldn't you want to set things up so that they actually get your hard- earned money? Do you want to have that money go to the IRS or some probate litigators? How should people start to think about their estate? I break the issues to consider down into four interconnected categories: Assets Debts and expenses (including taxes) Personal Relationships Estate Plan (Will, Trust, etc.) One thing you will notice is that your estate plan is only one category here. A lot of people think that having a Will and/or Trust in place means that they are “done” with planning for their death. That's just not true. So let's start with assets in the estate settlement process. What is the big mistake people make with their assets in the context of planning for death? The main mistake is not paying attention to how your assets are titled. This is especially the case where people have an estate plan but then also have assets with a listed beneficiary, or assets owned jointly. For instance, I once handled an estate where the decedent's Will gave away her interest in a home – but the decedent already owned the home in joint tenancy with her sister! As a result, the gift under her Will was ineffective (but the situation created a lot of litigation as well as conflict)...

We have a special treat today, an interview I conducted live with Jay Hughes at the recent Southeastern Family Office Forum, or SEFOF, in Atlanta.  SEFOF is a remarkable non-profit family office and family enterprise network that is now 14 years old.  I had a wonderful time there and met many nice folks.  My thanks to Brian Hughes, Bryn Monohan and Betsy Brown and all the volunteers for making this keynote interview possible.   The interview was conducted over a livestream in front of an audience of three hundred, and I do want to address some minor audio issues you might notice.   While there may be a few slight fluctuations in sound quality, rest assured, these issues are not significant and should not detract from your listening experience. Jay Hughes is an author, advisor to families, and founder of a law partnership in New York that represented private clients throughout the world, and now retired from the active practice of wealth advisory. His wonderful book, Family Wealth, Keeping it in the Family, has become a classic in the family wealth space, and he warns that the shirtsleeves proverb is a warning and not a curse.  Jay's wisdom is on full display in this engaging interview, and it is readily apparent why this man has had such a large impact on many families and individuals over the last thirty years.   This interview is part of a series done in partnership with the James E. Hughes Jr. Foundation. Please listen to my previous interview with Jay in 2023, as well as Christian Stewart, John Warnick, Gunther Weil and Keith Whitaker.

She talks about what she means by “financial emotional intelligence” and why it is important for families, family office executives, and family wealth advisors to understand and practice financial EQ. Money and wealth can be a blessing, but more often than not, it can also be a burden. Diana introduces the connection between money and trauma, and how families can stay educated on the topic and prepare themselves and their individual members to face and overcome the potential psychological challenges that come with wealth. Diane offers her tips and suggestions for our audience on how to anticipate and be prepared for difficult or awkward conversations involving money and wealth. She offers useful examples of difficult or tricky topics members of wealthy families can encounter and provides some guidance on how they should best navigate them.
