https://youtu.be/UizVi4fJzPs?si=MeLp0txegEzBkVLl CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: The Secret to Revitalizing Communities- this is how we improve our neighborhoods. It's a great way to teach the next generation about citizenship and how to be a part of something bigger than themselves. But what is involved in getting involved? Politics has an ugly reputation. How does one participate, get meaningful results, and keep ones sanity? Friend of the show, BLAIR DUQUESNAY, takes us through her experience navigating levee governance and politics in her hometown of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. She explains why civic activity is important to her and the example she wants to set for others. It's a great example of citizenship that we can all learn from. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3BjQeTf3nz5mgt6UD2pgpy?si=ntfqCSR1S2aCQvmVxSNQoA Summary In this conversation, Frazer Rice and Blair discuss the importance of community engagement and civic responsibility, particularly in the context of New Orleans post-Hurricane Katrina. Blair shares her journey into civic activism, the challenges faced in flood protection governance, and the grassroots efforts to raise awareness and advocate for reforms. They emphasize the significance of being informed and active citizens, the lessons learned from local democracy, and the need for ongoing engagement in community issues. Takeaways Civic engagement is crucial for community well-being. Personal experiences shape one's commitment to volunteerism. Grassroots advocacy can influence local governance. Awareness of local issues is essential for effective activism. Democracy requires active participation from citizens. Building relationships with elected officials is important. Researching issues enhances advocacy effectiveness. Community coalitions can broaden outreach efforts. Caring about local issues is a fundamental aspect of citizenship. Voting is a critical component of civic responsibility. The Secret to Sound Bites "We're all just humans in this process.""It's important to research the issues.""You have to vote to have a voice."

The massive costs of caregiving can be a big surprise to most people. It is an expensive undertaking in the best of circumstances and can be a full time job. BETH PINSKER, a columnist at Marketwatch and the author of the new book, "My Mother's Money- A Finanical Guide to Caregiving" takes us through her experience. There are many great tips to help get support for this difficult experience. https://youtu.be/WNYLOR_Pvw8?si=8dS2LPG3vfe1FWIX https://www.amazon.com/My-Mothers-Money-Financial-Caregiving-ebook/dp/B0DW3RLJSF/ https://open.spotify.com/episode/120pb9198YPecMzPir7RyC?si=mqlnY7XmRA-gtRzfJemq_w Outline 00:00 Introduction to Caregiving and Aging 02:15 The Importance of Planning Ahead 08:28 Navigating Legal and Financial Caregiving 10:33 Understanding the Emotional and Physical Toll 14:29 Making Informed Decisions for Loved Ones 19:40 Financial Planning for End-of-Life Care 25:28 Essential Documents and Digital Access Transcript Introduction to Caregiving and Aging Frazer Rice (00:04)This is a real treat for me in the sense that I have had personal experience around this. Your book, which we'll get into in just a second, is going to be coming out in November. I think it's going to be an important resource for pretty much anyone who has ⁓ any exposure to aging or anything like that or any sort of caregiving. Give us a little bit of a sense of the timing of the book first and we'll get that out of the way, far away. Beth Pinsker (00:35)Great, you know what, we're all in this together and nobody's gonna escape any of this. You will either need to care for somebody or you're gonna need to be cared for yourself at some point in time. Like it's inescapable. you ⁓ know, we're all, we all need this information. The reason I put it together was because I couldn't find it out there when I went looking for it. When my mom got sick, there wasn't a resource that told me how to deal with the things that I had to deal with. Being a CFP and being a retirement columnist and a journalist, I got the caregiving information. Then I wanted to put it out there for other people to benefit from it so they could plan a little bit better or get through whatever they were stuck in the middle of. I pulled together a bunch of columns I had written and brought in them out. I interviewed a lot of people, like almost 100 people, especially for this book. Over the years as a journalist, I've interviewed probably, you a thousand people about, you know, planning and estate planning and all of that stuff that goes into it. This book is coming out November 4th from a Penguin Random House imprint. You can pre-order it on bethpinsker.com or through the publishers portal. Hopefully you'll see it everywhere and every bookstore you go to. Frazer Rice (01:51)One of the concepts of the book that I think is vital is that it's important to have these steps. This caregiving analysis, this process established while everyone is at least a little bit on the top of their game. That you're not making decisions under maximum stress, either emotional, financial or otherwise. Maybe take us through a little bit about how you came to that realization and how you articulated that. The Importance of Planning Ahead for Caregiving Beth Pinsker (02:06) Yeah, so I got a call from my mom ⁓ one day. You know, she's perfectly fine, 76 year old, and she's like, I'm gonna have surgery. It's gonna be a big one. I'm gonna get my back operated on so that I can continue to walk. She really wanted to be able to walk and she was losing her abilities. The thing we need, we needed two things. We needed a power of attorney for ⁓ financial needs and a healthcare proxy because she was going to be incapacitated for a certain amount of time. We didn't know how much and we needed those documents. If we would not have had those documents, my life would have been an utter disaster. It was already really hard with those documents,...

There are plenty of LESSONS FROM GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE PLANNING. https://youtu.be/HZI4oiP0ZtM It's a cautionary tale about managing changing circumstances. Proper implementation and monitoring has to be in place. Periodic reviews of the documents, asset titling, and staffing of the fiduciary roles are a must. Finally, understanding the family dynamics and desire for confidentiality are vital in putting the estate plan in place. The disposition of $80 million was at stake here. LAWRENCE D MANDELKER, Partner at the NEW YORK OFFICE OF VENABLE, and I discussed the fact pattern, what could have been avoided, and points to take away in one's own affairs. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ndlYCQRiAokJ4FyATL9Te Transcription Frazer Rice (00:02)Welcome aboard, Larry. VENABLE ARTICLE ON GENE HACKMAN'S ESTATE Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:04)Thanks for having me, Frazer. Frazer Rice (00:05)This is, I wouldn't say it's fun talking about someone's estate, but this one's particularly interesting. We all remember Gene Hackman from Hoosiers and Superman and Mississippi Burning and all sorts of great movies. Unfortunately, his end was sad and as it turns out, Gene Hackman's Estate was complicated and public. From a planning perspective, we can learn a lot. ⁓ Take us through a little bit about where where Gene's estate kind of went from and ended up as far as a fact pattern. Fact Pattern in Gene Hackman's Estate Planning Lawrence D. Mandelker (00:37)Sure. So, you know, the news sort of surprised all of us when we heard that he had died. And then over the next couple of days and weeks and even months, more more detail came out. And as you said, it was pretty disturbing. But it seems as though Gene Hackman was a very successful ⁓ actor and he engaged in estate planning. Gene worked with attorneys, which is always a good thing to do it to work with people who are experts in the field And he had a you know a normal estate plan. He lived with his wife It seems like he had a little bit of a fractured family. It was not his first marriage. We learned after he signed his estate planning documents sort of things over the next 20 years sort of changed for him he He had some health issues. He was suffering from advanced dementia at the time he died and as we know his wife died from a virus apparently a week before. Then as the details came out we learned that he had the advanced dementia. There was a fractured family the the wife and his kids did not get along so well. It's unclear what the situation was with how much contact he did have with his children. But he had a will, he had signed it 20 years before he died. The facts changed. It looks like he hadn't reviewed it in a while. His attorney died so we have a sad situation here. Frazer Rice (02:12)Many lessons to get from that. Let's start with the first one. He definitely had ⁓ sort of dementia situations, cognitive dysfunction that eroded over the course of time. Maybe take us through a little bit about the scope of that issue. mean, it affects lots of people and a growing number every year and some things that should be in place because of that. Lawrence D. Mandelker (02:38)Yeah, you know, we all think we've got a lot of time and for someone who gets a diagnosis of dementia It's sort of a warning sign as soon as that happens that, you know, we never know when our time is going to come, but the dementia is sort of the warning. You know, maybe you're entering the second half of the game or the fourth quarter of the game. So maybe you should start getting your affairs in order while you still can. So it's a good ⁓ impetus to do that. You know, when we're looking at estate planning, there's, you you can do different types of estate planning, but really think about it as, you know, you can do it for yourself. You can do it- your loved ones and then you know for depending on the nature of your assets you can do it for tax purposes but you know getting ...

Johanna is a Trusts and Estates lawyer, and a partner at Forchelli, Deegan, and Terrana. She's also the adjunct professor of law at Hofstra University. We're going to talk a little bit about mistakes that we see in estate planning and the simple things you can do to keep them away from your situation. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/gD_d9J609Vg Three Estate Planning Mistakes Chapters 00:00 The Importance of Estate Planning09:47 Common Mistakes in Estate Planning19:54 Understanding Trusts and Their Benefits24:00 Navigating Elder Care and Estate Planning Outline of "Three Estate Planning Mistakes" Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Joanna. Johanna C. David (00:03) -Three Difficult Planning Stories and What Can We Learn? Hi, thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it. Frazer Rice (00:06)Well, happy to have you on because we are now, most people sort of put their estate planning off toward the end of the year, but I have a feeling given where the legislation is going, et cetera, that the crush is going to happen earlier than we think. In the meantime, you and I were talking beforehand about some mistakes that people make from an estate planning perspective and that they're very avoidable. I thought we'd take this opportunity to go into that a little bit. In your practice, maybe let's start with a couple of, or sort of the big ones that you see, ⁓ give us some ideas of some mistakes that people make that really should be avoidable. https://open.spotify.com/episode/57MMskGgp1P3fOVklGt090?si=ISap3Z_YSdqK_zg4-Dlevw Johanna C. David (00:48) - Structure and Other Planning Tactics Sure, absolutely. So the number one mistake that I think that people make is not having the proper estate planning documents. I see this happen time and time again. I don't know if it's because of the stigma. People are afraid to approach estate planning, right? Sometimes it makes your mortality very real. But the biggest estate planning mistake is not having the right documents. Everyone, everyone, I cannot stress, everyone needs to have at least a will, a power of attorney, and a healthcare proxy. And there are people that say, well, you know, I don't really have much, I don't need to do that, or ⁓ everything's gonna go directly to my husband and my children anyway. You know, that's how it works. But that's not exactly the case, right? You and I both know. So, especially if you have young children, young couples definitely want to have those things in place. You want to think about who is going to be the guardian for your child or your children if both of you pass away. And a lot of people don't think about that. And those only cause problems in the long run. I'll give you a quick example if we have time. But ⁓ Frazer Rice (02:02)⁓ please do. Johanna C. David (02:03) - Long Term Planning Issues and Avoiding Problems I remember, this was several years ago. I must have just started practicing and I had been a young attorney. So it was about 15 years ago and a woman came into the office and she and the decedent had been living together for about 30 years. They held themselves out to be married. Now, Frazer, you and I both know that New York does not recognize common law marriage. Frazer Rice (02:30)This is true. Johanna C. David (02:32) - Correcting a Big Will Mistake She was not aware of that. And so they were married for 30 years. Everything was in his name or excuse me, they were not married. They were together for 30 years, held themselves out to be married, not legally married. He owned the co-op apartment. Everything was in his name. Now he had a daughter from a previous marriage, legal marriage that was a strange. And you guessed it, our client did not get along with the daughter.

We're going to be talking about the current incoherent world of US ENERGY POLICY. ANNA KRAMER joins the podcast to help us get our arms around the future of energy in the United States. Anna is a reporter for NOTUS, a non-partisan longform journalism outlet. She has written a series of stories on the the disconnect and frustration around US Energy Policy and paths forward. We talk about: The chaotic policy at the federal level (and beyond) The huge cost overruns and administrative complexity The role of nuclear The increased energy demand in this country Finally, we muse about what can be done about it going forward. https://youtu.be/3k-N-AGTNfU Outline Section 1: The US Energy Policy Transition: The Goals and the Problem.

Anna Kramer (00:03)Thanks for having me, really psyched. Frazer Rice (00:04)I went through a bunch of your articles covering the power industry and energy generation and a lot of things that are happening federally, state level, and it's going to be a lot to get our arms around, but you were the person to do it. So just generally speaking, we're at a point in time with energy and transition ⁓ that policy is moving. Maybe take us through a little bit about the goals and the problem we face. Anna Kramer (00:31)So there are sort of two, I would say, competing problems right now. ⁓ The first one is load growth, which means basically more demand on the electricity grid. And that is something that we haven't seen in this country in decades. for really around 2000 up until maybe a couple of years ago, energy demand on the grid has been fairly constant or even declining slightly. And the reason for that is that everything has become more efficient. Like every appliance you use, every light bulb, your car, everything that could possibly have a demand on the grid is more efficient than it used to be, which is awesome. There's a lot of wonderful benefits that we get from that, including the fact that for a long time utilities and transmission planners and states and the federal government have not really ever had to think about the grid or about like where you get your power aside from these sort of technical conversations that the average person doesn't really pay any attention to. That has really started to change as of the last few years. There's a large number of reasons for that. Basically for the first time in decades we have significant demand expecte...

Family Office AI has become a dominant theme at the fancy dinners where families and their advisors chart a course to incorporate new technologies. As wealthy families grapple with the risks and opportunities of AI, institutional rigor and structure hasn't kept up with the often informal world of family offices. This is a mistake High end governance must play a part in the family office AI space. https://youtu.be/n_KHB_gOc9M We're going to be talking to TIM PLUNKETT, who's the founder and managing partner of Plunkett PLLC. He advise families on structure, governance and the development of procedure around these exciting, but potentially dangerous concepts. We're going to be talking about best practices for family offices as they deal with the artificial intelligence theme. Family Office AI "When looking at AI adoption in family offices it is important to remain true to the culture, operations, reputation and underlying trust among those who built the Office in the first instance. Remain true to your principles and don't get distracted by the new toys." - Tim Plunkett Family Office AI Transcript Frazer Rice (00:01)Welcome aboard, Tim. Tim Plunkett (00:03)Hey Frasier, how are you doing? Thanks for having me. Frazer Rice (00:05)doing terrific. we're in the midst of Trump tariff season, so it's a little crazy, I'm sure for everybody. yeah. so why don't we, we're going to talk a little bit about family offices and artificial intelligence, which I think is a theme. both themes are, you know, big unto themselves, but how family offices integrate with the space. I think it's something where it's a, it's an area where family offices can be very informal and. Tim Plunkett (00:11)We're blessed. Frazer Rice (00:33)Getting some institutional rigor around them is important. And so to that end, you have a lot of broad experiences advising businesses from a governance perspective. Maybe describe your firm for a few minutes and what you do. Tim Plunkett (00:47)Sure, thanks again. I have three pillars in my firm. I can only do certain things well, so I try and limit what I do. My training is as a litigator, and so I consistently think of things always as having to explain them in front of a judge, which helps with a lot of risk, which goes along hand-in-hand with AI and governance. The second part is I've done a lot of government relations work, which is working across disciplines and organizations, trying to advocate for certain outcomes and create business environments that are efficient, compliant, ethical. Again, all that ties back to the same foundations in the world of AI. And the third component of it is, is obviously the AI work I do, which came out of working in data privacy and security over the last 10 years. The natural flow was to move towards this sector. And today my practice is Mostly helping companies learn how to implement strategies that are fair, equitable, just, but also compliant with the laws and keeping in pace with the technological change, is really at breakneck speed and an incredible place to be right now in the world of opportunities in front of all of us. It's very exciting. Frazer Rice (01:57)So when you're canvassing companies and families that are invested in them, what are the use cases that you're seeing? Tim Plunkett (02:04)So use cases are, I mean, they're kind of all over the place. you look at in terms of how do you define the practices, have, there's operational use cases. so you have use cases that are like document intelligence and automation. Sometimes in places there's expense tracking and anomaly detection. There's dashboard creation for organizational purposes. You have investment use cases for deal sourcing. portfolio risk management, alternative data, source and analysis. You have governance use cases for succession planning, philanthropic impact analysis. So there's a lot of different cases that are out there.

BARRY RITHOLTZ's new book "How Not to Invest" has received a warm reception. We talk about investing mistakes, the Trump Tariffs, and curating a good media diet. https://youtu.be/pS4f45v2iRk https://www.amazon.com/dp/1804091197/ "How Not To Invest" Transcript Frazer Rice (00:03)Welcome aboard, Barry. Barry (00:04)Well, thanks so much for having me, Frasier. Frazer Rice (00:06)Well, we are recording in the midst of chaos and disorder. We're basically in day three, trading day three of the tariffs and trying to understand all of that. But back at the matter of hand, your new book, I read it really good. I thought it did a really good job of sort of colloquially putting some process and structure around not making bad investing decisions. Tell me a little bit about the impetus for the book. Barry (00:35)Sure, so the last book, Bailout Nation, was 15 years ago when I've had a lot of friends and family say, when's the next book coming? And, you know, I had a little, like, hey, that was kind of a slog, stuff blowing up and forcing me to rewrite entire sections of the book every time some new company went belly up. And I came home from Christmas break from vacation. You have that dead zone a few days before you're back in the office January 2nd. And I just started thumbing through some old quarterly calls for clients and research notes and market commentaries. You know, I had moved the blog from GeoCities in the nineties to Typepad in the two thousands to WordPress in the 2010s. And so I was looking at some of these old things and like, God, I never revisited this. This is such a great piece of research. I love this academic take on where alpha or even beta comes from. And I'm just kind of mulling it over. I start writing down chapter ideas on three by five cards like these. And I end up using this giant bulletin board on my wall. It just basically I start putting stuff up and I start rearranging them. And pretty soon it becomes obvious. Hey, these ideas, a lot of them are don'ts. Don't do this. Don't do that. Avoid this. Try not to make this bad mistake. And ultimately, I kind of came to the conclusion that, know, we've part of the reason I held off writing a book is there have been tens of thousands of investing books telling people what to do. And we're all pretty mediocre investors still. Maybe it might be useful if we learned what not to do and thus "how not to invest" was born. Frazer Rice (02:35)We found kind of an interesting crucible to test all of this with sort of Trump's tariff initiatives and a bunch of chaos on that front. As you think about what we're living in right now with uncertainty, whether manufactured or not, what are some of the top things that you think about that you tell people, your clients and otherwise? to keep in mind as we sort of weather this storm and try to learn a little bit about what the future is going to look like. Barry (03:06)Right. I had no idea what what the sequel would be named. Maybe it could be how not to run an economy or what we'll play with that. But so so what's happening these days are kind of fascinating because the first third of the book I spent a lot of time talking about how little we really know about about what's happening right now. And we learn even less about the future. And so our Frazer Rice (03:12)Ha Barry (03:34)A hot take on these things is maybe we shouldn't build portfolios based on having to predict where the economy is going to be, what the hot sector is going to be, where the hot geography is going to be, what the best companies are. Maybe we need to be a little more robust and capable of withstanding this. And the tariffs are a perfect example of how little we know. Look, the obvious examples of "How Not to Invest" Nobody had heading into 2020 in their year had forecast global pandemic that shuts the world's economy. And by the way, stocks go straight up. They just after a 34 percent crash,

Episode 019: For high-net-worth families, wealth is more than just numbers on a balance sheet. It represents a legacy, a responsibility, and a means to achieve their unique aspirations. Managing the intricacies of wealth preservation, succession planning, philanthropy, and lifestyle management for these families is no easy task. It requires a tailored and holistic approach that takes into account their financial objectives, deeply held values, and unique needs. In this episode of Connected, Kyle is joined by Frazer Rice, Director of Family Office Services at Next Capital Management. Frazer talks about the role of family office services in managing the wealth and lifestyle of high-net-worth individuals and families. Frazer emphasizes the importance of communication and conflict resolution in preserving wealth across generations. Join us as we discuss: [01:52] - Duke's football victory. [04:28] - Frazer's love for film and horror genre. [06:51] - Frazer's experience acting in a horror movie. [09:06] - How Frazer got into wealth management. [14:34] - Multidisciplinary approach in solving problems for ultra-high net worth clients. [17:37] - Challenges of raising kids in wealthy families. [20:59] - Why Next Capital decided to start family office services. [26:12] - When it makes sense to employ a family office. [29:59] - What RIAs need to consider when offering family office services. [32:02] - What the future looks like for the ultra-high net worth segment. [36:46] - The three best golf courses Frazer has played on and his top three bucket list courses. Key Takeaways The wealth management industry requires a multidisciplinary approach to problem-solving, combining expertise in law, finance, and other domains. Communication is the biggest challenge in preserving wealth across generations, and conflict resolution is crucial in avoiding destructive situations. The ultra-high net worth space requires independent advice and a focus on minimizing conflicts of interest. Technology can enable advisors to better serve clients, but manual labor and personal relationships will continue to play a significant role. Quotes "When you start moving up the wealth chain, and people start understanding that they have enough to spend during their lifetime and their legacy going forward is what's important to them, that's when you start getting into a different level of discussion and framework-building." ~ Frazer Rice "The biggest threat to wealth isn't bad tax planning or investments. The ecosystem of smart people to solve those problems is broad and wide. But the biggest issue is communication. And it's amongst in between the generations." ~ Frazer Rice "It's really my job and the job of the firm to help the families identify the different issues that are out there, look around corners, and look for opportunities, either for tax savings or structuring to further their goals." ~ Frazer Rice Links  Frazer Rice on LinkedIn Frazer Rice on Twitter Next Capital Management The "Wealth Actually" Podcast Wealth Actually on Amazon Football - Duke University Riley Leonard Sam Raimi Evil Dead Steve McQueen The Blob The Devil's Restaurant Tony Guernsey Wilmington Trust Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

State Estate Taxes - State Estate taxes can be a nasty surprise- especially with the disconnect between State and Federal Exclusions. Currently, the Federal Exemption stands at $12.92mm per person. 17 states have and estate or inheritance tax and it's often uncoupled from the Federal exemptions. In New York, the state estate tax exclusion stands at $6.58mm per person- and that exclusion isn't portable with a spouse. With state estate tax rates reaching 16%, this could lead to a potentially big number. However, planning around this tax can be complicated. Estate Planning Attorney, GEORGE BISCHOF is here to define the problem and the clients it affects, provide some context for planning and give us some ideas on how to deal with it. George is an Estate Planning Attorney here in New York City at the WILLS AND TRUSTS FIRM (https://thewillsfirm.com/). He focuses on clients between $4 and $20mm in net worth. Estate Tax Federal ($12,920,000 per person) vs NYS ($6,580,000 per person) More New Yorkers can be caught in this than they think Real Estate can be a big issue Linkage to Gift Tax (NYS has no gift tax) Rates (40% Federal vs 16% State) NYS Cliff - Established in 2014 105% Estate Tax Exclusion is where the cliff kicks in. Graduated Tax Calculation Goes back to dollar zero and can be a $250K+ mistake Calculated on NYS property NYS has floated a longer phase-out range, no progress yet Being a City vs State Resident is irrelevant (as opposed to an income tax situation) Portability – Federal: Yes, NYS: NO!!! (but, Credit Shelter Trusts can be a solution) Ways to Reduce / Minimize This Tax Using Charity and a drafting Santa Clause (a conditional formula bequest that leaves money to your preferred charity (or one chosen by your executor or trustee), but only if doing so will result in a higher after-tax estate for your beneficiaries). Changing your residence AND domicile (and cutting NY linkages!) - See an in depth discussion on this topic with attorney MARK KLEIN - (SNOWBIRD PLANNING EPISODE) Using Gifting to get "under the cliff amount" (but beware of 3 year look back). Moving wealth to non-NY jurisdiction Maximizing “portability” with Disclaimer or Credit Shelter Trust structures Disclaimer language in wills and/or trusts Make sure you have an independent co-trustee   BONUS: I wrote about this topic back in 2019 and it gives some context around the planning.

In this episode, I recount my experience in taking the plunge and jumping from a stable, large bank job to swim in some different waters. "Funding the Pivot" was written a few years ago as I was doing the post-mortem on my post-book experience. I think the lessons I learned can help a lot of people. This format a bit of an experiment for me in non-interview podcasting- let me know what you think of it. The transcript of the essay is below- thanks for listening! Follow me on TWITTER LINKEDIN YOUTUBE and INSTAGRAM, Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE/like/rate the show and feel free to send along to your friends. https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Actually-Intelligent-Decision-Making-1-ebook/dp/B07FPQJJQT/ Funding The Pivot We live in a world where we are bombarded with advice to “follow your passion” and stories of people who wonder about the road not taken.  In fact, more people in their prime earning years are taking steps to fulfill their “dreams” before they reach the brass ring of retirement- a time normally associated with doing all of the things you didn't have time to do. What happens when you aren't close to retirement and want to make a career switch or start up a new business? What is realistic? How should you think about the risks so that you avoid a crippling financial decision? As clients and friends have come to me with this issue, I have taken my personal experience and some financial planning concepts to put structure around what can be a high risk, but high reward decision. The Assessment and the Plan Many of us daydream about a better tomorrow . . . better finances, more control of time, health and family happiness, a clearer path to professional or extracurricular achievement and establishing a legacy. These things don't come without costs and the risk of failure. Therefore, you need a plan. The first step is to assess the situation at hand. Are you running from something or running to something? Do you have an idea that will change an industry (or the world)? Do you want to start a business (and the hell that being an entrepreneur can bring) or do you just want to enjoy the trappings of a well-oiled business machine (already put in place)?  For those making career decisions because of an unpleasant work environment, I would think twice about running headlong into entrepreneurism.  It is a long and lonely road.  You have to “really want it” and be prepared for sacrifice both personal and financial.  Can the same itches be scratched while being traditionally employed? If your current situation is dissatisfying, could the correct change be a move to a firm that is more in keeping with your goals and principles? I had a little of both in my life and used parts of the creative process, the entrepreneurial experience and a corporate situation to move my situation ahead. My situation at my previous employer was suffocating.  I enjoyed working with clients, solving problems, identifying opportunities and being relevant to successful people. However, while enjoying success, I was not participating in the equity or direction of the business and I was not developing.  My career trajectory was flattening and the principles by which I worked were shifted by new management priorities. It was time to go no matter what. I also had a nagging feeling that I had more to bring to my clients, my firm, the industry . . . and myself.  I became involved in podcasting and speaking- two things that I enjoyed.  On the strength of that and my extracurricular interest in writing screenplays and essays, I felt like I had a book in me. Change is good, right? Change brings growth. Generally speaking, that's true, but change also occurs when you are laid off or when a company closes down. To that end, change is effective when you are the architect of the change. When you are driving new circumstances, you have more control over its effects. In my case, I spent a year writing the book,

Estate planning is a hot topic with potential law changes on the horizon and sunset back to the pre Tax Cut & Jobs Act amounts in 2026. In this episode of the PFP Section podcast, JG Gassman, CPA/PFS, talks with Frazer Rice, J.D., about effective questions to use to engage with clients to make sure their plan is in order.

I'm joined this week by Frazer Rice, a James Bond freak whose familiarity with the films, the books, the comic strips, and the business of Bond makes him the idea guest to chat and speculate with on The Future Of Bond. With 'No Time To Die' closing out the Daniel Craig era, Bond now enters what likely is a 2-4 year window between films and a search for the Next Bond.  The search this time is perhaps culturally poised to branch Bond out, or, at least, the times we live in would seem ripe for a reimagining of the Bond character, perhaps away from the white male origins of the character.  But post-taping, Bond gatekeeper and producer Barbara Broccoli gave an interview in which she said it was her belief that Bond should be British and male, so...perhaps we'll get a different Bond, but not, alas, a female Bond (my personal #1 choice to replace Craig is a British woman, you'll hear who that is in the episode). Frazer and I cover the recent sale of Bond studio MGM to Amazon and what that means for the future of the franchise, we traipse through the historical record of Bond changes from the Connery-to-Lazenby era to the Connery-to-Roger Moore era, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig. We talk some surprising actors who were offered the role over the years, but who turned it down. We rank All Time Bonds, with a surprising list for both of us, and we offer up our top choices for the Next Bond, all while enjoying some great Bond clips and music.   Frazer on Twitter Frazer's Graphic Novel A Reasonably OK Book About Bond History My Favorite Bond & Bond Film

Don't forget to check out the Royal Legal YouTube channel for video extras and other great content. Back to the show...Tune in to Episode 41 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 41 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowFrazer Rice on Wealth Actually and Steps You Can Take To Keep More of Your Investing Income in Your HandFrazer Rice sits down with our host and asset protection attorney, Scott Smith. Together, they chat about Frasier's latest book,[0:45] Frazer is a wealth expert who helps other investors keep as much of their earnings in their own pockets. This includes asset protection, but also tax minimization work. He points out the many ways that the U.S. Government, via taxation, pockets taxpayer dollars through sheer ignorance on the part of the taxpayer.[2:00] Frazer recently authored Wealth Actually: Intelligent Decision-Making for the 1%. The book is full of wisdom for those changing asset classes or “moving up” in the real estate world.[2:30] Scott expresses his admiration for the book, relating his own experiences as an asset protection attorney.[3:15] Frazer points out the need for unique, customized plans: “You could be a doctor with a high litigation risk. You could own a construction company. You could have a high inheritance risk with a drug-addicted sibling. Everyone's situation is different.” Each of these circumstances requires a specific type of risk management, and that's where Frazer's latest work is useful[5:30] Scott asks what motivated Frazer's latest book. Frazer immediately points to taxes, and how to mitigate capital gains and minimize tax liability. He also speaks to how to form an adequate estate plan--advice he routinely gives his clients. Failure to form an estate plan can lead to lengthy litigation, forced sales, and plenty of avoidable fees.[Tweet "“You could be a doctor with a high litigation risk. You could own a construction company. You could have a high inheritance risk with a drug-addicted sibling. Everyone's situation is different.” - Frazer Rice, Real Estate Nerds Ep. 41"]Tools Even Children Can Use for Learning Fiscal ResponsibilityFrazer shares some of his practical tips for working with young people to set them up for a life of financial responsibility. Since financial literacy is generally overlooked in schools, Frazer has taken the initiative to fill this education gap.[7: 20] Frazer lists a couple of exercises for teaching children about investing, preparing them for a lifetime of responsibility. They learn early on about losing as well. Siblings present an ideal situation, as they can work together on exercises to determine their strengths and weaknesses[10:00] Scott inquires whether these concepts are for children only. Frazer replies that financial literacy is something investors can work on at any age. Scott asks how Frazer explains headier concepts like taxes, real estate investing, and problem-solving. Frasier replies that his financial literacy tools are modified for age-appropriateness.[14:00] Scott asks about whether it is worth the effort to train children in their real estate business for seamless transition. Frazer says yes, and that the lessons about wealth are fairly intuitive--and better off taught. He elaborates more on wealth management with some stories from his experiences with clients.[18:30] On the subject of wealth, Frazer points out that a broad definition can improve your life: “There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” Scott agrees, and points out that people can use real estate for passive income to free up time to pursue the things they really enjoy.[21:00] Scott asks a bit more about how children learn from early investing options. Frazer believes if the power of compound interest were taught universally, Americans in general would be doing better.[Tweet "“There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” - Frazer Rice, Episode 41 Real Estate Nerds Podcast"]The Takeaway: Your Approach Can Be What Makes The Deal WorkScott and Frazer wrap up with the take-aways points from their discussion. Both investors agree that a strong backing system and network is vital.[22:40] Scott points out that most investors take mis-steps because of their own blind spots.[23:00] Frazer confirms, and further elaborates that skill sets are diverse, and that's okay: “You don't need to know how to solve every problem..If you're okay at a couple of things, that's a good business model.” Some team members may be better with lenders, while others can crunch the numbers on properties and comps easily. Still others may be more equipped for managing contractors and the properties themselves.

On today's episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast, fellow attorney-investor Rebecca Walser sits down with our host and attorney Scott Smith. If you've ever wondered what happens when a couple of lawyers sit down to talk real estate shop, Rebecca and Scott are here to help you find out. Tune in for some free insider knowledge as well as a good-old-fashioned Bat Beats episode.Tune in to Episode 42 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 42 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowRebecca Walser on Building WealthScott Smith welcomes Rebecca Walser, who shares about her background, business philosophy and wealth building strategies.[0:45] Scott is particularly enthusiastic about talking about a bad deal with a fellow attorney, and asks Rebecca to share some more about her background and practice. Rebecca is a Certified Financial Planner who worked in finance for over a decade before attending law school at the University of Florida, then proceeding with her LLM in Federal Taxation at NYU.[4:00] Rebecca's law practice centered around tax minimization for high net worth individuals. She describes a revelation she had during a meeting with a client where she decided to strike out on her own, “marrying” her love of both law and finance.[6:00] In Rebecca's practice, Walser Wealth Management, she regards market volatility as the first of two major threats to wealth building and maintenance. Tax issues present the other major issue to keeping wealth. [8:00] Rebecca shares how her background informs the way she serves her clients: “Our practice is unique not only because we help build wealth financially, but because we also make sure the wealth is built in the right tax bucket.” She believes approaching tax and traditional wealth building holistically is essential. Using a self-directed IRA to hold real estate investments is a common and effective strategy among Rebecca's clients.[Tweet "“You could be a doctor with a high litigation risk. You could own a construction company. You could have a high inheritance risk with a drug-addicted sibling. Everyone's situation is different.” - Frazer Rice, Real Estate Nerds Ep. 41"]Self-Directed IRAs and Real Estate: Managing ExpectationsRebecca shares how self-directed IRA deals can sometimes go sideways, and the best management solutions for when they do.[10:00] Rebecca describes pairing with a group to establish manage self-directed IRA accounts, including finding deals. She experienced some difficulties in terms of on-the-ground property management. Poor property management can get expensive fairly quickly. Many of Rebecca's clients like real estate's “hands off” investment approach when property management is active and professional.[12:20] Scott discusses Rebecca's vetting process for the nationally-recognized company that managed her clients' properties. He wonders if contractual solutions could have improved her situation, or whether to simply take a different approach moving forward.[14:26] Rebecca points to the nature of expectations in this type of asset (real estate in a self-directed IRA) and its unique problems as learning moments in her own story. Scott suggests real estate investors may have, or at least desire, a heightened sense of control over their asset than a typical investor would feel over a stock or a bond.[18:00] The two investors agree one one critical point: “Real estate should be looked at like any other investment: whether it's working or whether it's not.”[19:30] Scott brings up client management. He finds “high transparency and frequent touchpoints” useful for problem-solving with clients. Rebecca agrees both are important in professions where you're managing other people's money, as she and Scott are. Rebecca shares some communication strategies for clarifying her company's role and boundaries regarding clients and their investments.[Tweet "“There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” - Frazer Rice, Episode 40 Real Estate Nerds Podcast"]The Takeaway: Rebecca and Scott conclude the show with their “lessons learned” from Rebecca's story.[23:57] For Scott, clarifying expectations upfront is a huge lesson to be learned from Rebecca's experience, particularly surrounding responsibilities to other people.[25:05] For Rebecca, cautioning clients about the distinctions between real estate and stocks/bonds has proven essential. She points out failure to do this creates a situation the company has to manage later anyway. Rebecca succinctly sums up: “Real estate, as great as it is, we do ourselves a disservice to describe it as turn-key easy.”

On today's episode of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast, fellow attorney-investor Michael Quarles is giving us a twofer. Normally, we focus on one Best Deal or Worst Deal--but Michael has two Bad Beats to share with us today, and a host of free information about negotiation, investing psychology, and why success is a “requirement” in his life.Tune in to Episode 43 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast now to hear the full conversation.Listen To Episode 43 of The Real Estate Nerds Podcast NowMichael Quarles on the Finer Points of NegotiationScott Smith welcomes Rebecca Walser, who shares about her background, business philosophy and wealth building strategies.[1:00] Michael decides to share two of his worst deals with our listeners. Scott asks Michael to set the stage for the period of time before the deal.[2:00] Michael has been engaging in entrepreneurship since he was a teenager. He shares his general real estate investing strategy, but also describes himself as a “serial entrepreneur.” [3:30] Michael took a student to a presentation, and actually posed as the student to bolster his mentee's credibility. After a lengthy wait in the car, the student emerged from the meeting dejected. Michael had thought everything would go perfectly, and asked what went wrong. The student simply replied “I started talking.”[4:45] Michael shares the lesson his student learned the hard way: “That's the worst thing we can do: not realize when we've said enough. And when we've said enough, stop talking.” That resulted in the loss of the contract.[6:00] Michael points out that any time a seller offers you something, even something as minor as a beer or a glass of water, you should take it. These small offers are actually closing signals. “Consumers give us little hints and triggers that we can see,” he explains. [7:30] Scott wonders whether Michael's point is really about how to listen. Michael clarifies that at this point, he means simply stop talking about real estate. [9:05] Michael shifts towards his thoughts on negotiation: “We can't convince someone to do something they don't wan to do...But through the art of negotiation, we can convince them to set a price that causes us to say yes.” He describes an example.[12:05] Michael gives some surprising advice on negotiation: “If you want to learn how to negotiate, how to communicate: go talk to a 3-year-old.” Michael points out children this age do not know how to lie yet, but have some reasoning abilities.[13:20] Scott asks about situations where execution does not line up with training, such as when they take classes like Michael's. Michael points out that one must be a gifted storyteller to be an effective negotiator, and that practice is vital to any learned information. He and Scott do a brief exercise to illustrate this point. They speak back and forth using only three words, a tactic Michael recommends.[16:00] Michael describes how he always surveys his tenants after the fact. He found she did not get to communicate with him the way she wanted to, which he considers a personal failure.[17:30] Scott and Michael discuss the power of mimicking, a tactic effective with both children and fellow investors.Michael Quarles' on The Beauty of Ugly HousesThe two investors shift focus to the second deal Michael wants to discuss.[18:00] Michael bought a house that was “not quite a duplex” but had an additional small house in the back of the property. There was a double homicide in the house, which worked to Michael's advantage with lenders. But that wasn't the end of the criminal element: the offender who committed the homicides returned to commit an arson in an attempt to destroy the evidence relating to the homicides.[19:00] Michael easily resold the house to another investor who renovated it, got a tenant in, and is still profiting. The lesson he learned from this deal is simple: “Those deals that don't conform are the ones where we make the most money.” He goes on to state he would buy every “ugly” house in his city, given the opportunity.[21:00] Michael's current market is direct tenants and investor-buyers (typically flippers). There is a specific value in the types of houses he purchases--those under the median for the area. Michael encourages investors to look at the properties through the eyes of the consumer.[23:00] Michael points out that ethical, moral, and legal boundaries are critical. He also points out that the order of those is significant, as something can be legal but not ethical.[25:00] Scott points out that acceptance of certain harsh realities can serve the savvy investor. [26:00] Michael describes visiting a house that was outside of his comfort zone. He found a highly motivated seller who was in need of back surgery that made his home uninhabitable during his recovery. He also wanted a relatively low amount of the house. He sold it within ten days.[Tweet "“There's a currency of success that has nothing to do with dollars.” - Frazer Rice, Episode 40 Real Estate Nerds Podcast"]The Takeaway: Facing Fear and Requiring SuccessMichael and Scott wrap up with their major lessons learned from Michael's experience.[28:42] Scott points out a major learning lesson from Michael's story. He finds that we must practice habits of success regardless of outcome. Michael counters that even a failure is a type of success, and necessary.[30:00] Michael asks about the cost of law school, and legal education generally. 3.5 years and $150,00 is the figure they settle on. He points out that many investors spend massive amounts of money to “hit the home run” upon execution. He shares a story of overcoming fear as he forged a professional relationship with a female investor.[32:00] Scott points out that a life of comfort is one that can cause regret about not taking more risks. He puts it bluntly: “Risk always means fear, and overcoming fear.” [32:00][36:00] Michael shares his own take-away. He encourages the audience to treat life like a requirement.

Frazer Rice (https://frazerrice.com/) is a Regional Director for Pendleton Square Trust Company (https://pendletonsquaretrust.com/). In that capacity, he focuses on trustee, fiduciary and family governance issues for wealthy families. He is the author and podcast host of "Wealth, Actually (https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Actually-Intelligent-Decision-Making-1-ebook/dp/B07FPQJJQT)" which centers on decision-making for wealthy families The podcast interviews wealth experts and entrepreneurial families and individuals. Standout Quotes: * "Something that's happening industry-wide or at least in the US is the concept that being a corporate trustee is a different business than the asset management side of wealth management" - [Frazer] * "Most of the trust planning is articulating a move at the minimum from Gen 1 to Gen 2" - [Frazer] * "I view the Trust and the planning around the Trust to be an outgrowth, when done correctly, of a solid communication structure that has been developed within the family" - [Frazer] * "What the family bank approach is offering to families is a way for them to pass on their intellectual capital...to their human capital, the next generation by having them apply for the financial capital" - [Mike] * "If the kids see what's important to the other kids early, and attach a dollar manifestation around that, I think that you're building the context so you have fewer blow-ups later on" - [Frazer] * "I think the most important thing anyone can have in their lifestyle is the ability to be comfortable in their own skin" - [Frazer] Key Takeaways: * Frazer shares his background and experiences so far, from college to working in politics, after which he decided to study law and gained exposure while working in different firms. His career started down the path of wealth management when he worked with a Trust company. * He is also the author of the book "Wealth Actually" and the host of a podcast that discusses topics related to finance and wealth management even though that was not the initial plan for the podcast. * Pendleton Square Trust is an administrative Trust company that fulfills the function in a Trustee role aimed at helping families get access to good Tennessee jurisdiction. * 3 main Functions of a Trustee: First is the administrative function which includes safeguarding and reporting on assets, paying the taxes. The Second is the distribution of the asset to beneficiaries. The third function is the investment management of the asset which is excluded at Pendleton, Frazer believes most places don't do everything well. * A trustee does not have to be a corporation, it can be an individual acting as a trustee with the ability to perform all 3 key functions, however, it may be difficult to find one person who is great at all functions. * A lot of families would prefer to have more control, and a private trust company allows them to control the aspects they're comfortable with and outsource the rest. * There is a possible conflict where corporate trustees who also provide asset management services invariably provide their asset management services. * The most common customer for the company is a US family that is either actively transferring wealth from the first generation to the second generation or generally has a multi-generational approach. * For those families that have taken their hands off the wheel in terms of managing the wealth, the Trust company operates more like a family office but for those still actively engaged in the continuation of the business, that business becomes the real center of the family office. * One of the real destroyers of wealth is bad communication amongst the family, this leads to conflict, which leads to litigation and litigation is expensive * There's a lot of good work that needs to be done ahead of building the structures so that you're not only setting something up that takes care of the money for the family, you're also getting the family ready for the money. * Family or Shared Philanthropy is one of the tools that helps to work with families as it gets the family members to express their interests and helps them work together while considering the needs of each other. * The Vacation Fund Concept: This is another tool, and the idea is to have the kids make a joint decision around the investment of money by getting them to plan the vacation based on a particular amount available. It helps identify which kids have aptitude and interest, the aggressive or conservative ones, and other responses exhibited by the kids towards the task. Summarily the kids get involved in financial planning and learn critical points related to it. * The idea of a Family Bank is putting structure around the request of money for projects so that it forces preparedness in front of real people who have to make a decision. Learning that persuasion is important helps the next generation to deal with the real world. * It also provides an opportunity to combat the situation of assets growing linearly being overtaken by liabilities growing geometrically, as more opportunities explored can increase the growth of assets. * There's a big difference between Operational succession and Ownership Succession of a family business, the difference in roles may mean some people get paid more but this needs to be discussed earlier on before the transition period. * From Frazer to his kids: I think the most important thing anyone can have in their lifestyle is the ability to be comfortable in their skin. The concept of trying to please other people's sense of success is a difficult road because you're never going to please everyone all the time, more so you will be running from things that could be your path to success. o * Run your own race, be comfortable in your own skin.

The COVID-19 phenomenon has created worldwide economic upheaval and problems for many business owners. One area where the coronavirus has created opportunity is in the field of estate planning. I was able to speak with AARON FLINN about the opportunities that exist right now. We will go into some of the tools in his toolkit (including the use of preferred jurisdictions like Tennessee) to help successful, and often complicated, families take advantage of a difficult economic environment. Aaron is a partner of WALLER, a full-service business law firm based out of Nashville, Tennessee with offices across the Southeast and Texas. He specializes in trust and estate work, wealth preservation, business succession and family office structuring. Why is right now is an optimal time to review estate planning affairs and wealth structure? 1)  The shutdown has been a rare quiet time to think about the how families want to set up future affairs and have internal discussions about the investment, use, direction and purpose of the wealth. 2)  Lower valuations: With markets generally lower across the board, the valuations of most family assets has decreased as well. This provides added flexibility when using estate planning tools and government defined exemptions to shift wealth out of an estate into the ownership of the next generation. 3)  Generationally low interest rates: As the government has lowered interest rates to stimulate the economy, many of the standard interest rates used in estate planning have fallen as well.

I was charged with helping being a part of projects where we try to keep businesses in New York or otherwise help them locate there, which is difficult to do given the high taxes that are in New York. Did that for a couple of years, didn’t want to be a civil servant my whole life, so I went to law school—like most aimless people do as they try to find their way. They say a fool and his money are soon parted, and, for the 1 percent, this is especially true. The more wealth one has, the more risks to their financial security.

Private wealth manager Frazer Rice has seen every challenge and success that the well-off can face. In Wealth, Actually, he shares his holistic, adaptable approach to wealth management. Through a combination of philosophical discussion, practical advice, humor, and anecdotes, he shows how prosperous individuals can determine what they want their wealth to do; communicate with loved ones about their fortune; avoid overspending; handle wealth threats; evaluate, grow, and protect investments; and choose the best advisors.
