What would you do with $20 million? That's the minimum amount required to join Tiger 21, the exclusive network where ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurs learn how to preserve and grow their wealth. Michael Sonnenfeldt founded Tiger 21 after selling two companies and realizing that the skills that made him a successful entrepreneur didn't translate into smart investing. He built the group to help other entrepreneurs avoid costly post-exit mistakes.
Host Michael Sonnenfeldt concludes Season 1 with a retail legend and world-changing philanthropist, TIGER 21 Member David Jaffe. David's mother Roslyn founded Dressbarn in 1962. David joined the family business in 1992. As CEO, David took the company from $1 billion in sales all the way to $7 billion as Ascena Retail Group, Inc., a Fortune 500 retailer with eight distinct brands including Ann Taylor, Loft, Lane Bryant, Catherines, and Justice, with over 4,500 stores across the U.S. and Canada, employing 65,000 associates. In 2019, David transitioned out of Ascena. Today, he's a philanthropist on a quest for social change, leading two different nonprofits. David shares insights on family business succession, integrating philanthropy, and his advice for those transitioning out of their primary careers. Key topics include the evolution of Dressbarn, strategies for successful acquisitions, and the importance of aligning career choices with personal passions.Video clips:The 10-Year Rule for Family Business"After My Exit, I Became the Wrong Kind of Investor"Topics:(00:00) Podcast announcement (Season 1 finale)(00:31) Introduction to David Jaffe (01:00) Early career (02:27) Philanthropy and social change (03:13) Family business dynamics (04:28) Career transition (19:58) Lessons from leadership and mentorship (23:12) End of an era at Ascena(25:50) The day after retirement (27:46) Exploring new opportunities (28:40) Advanced Leadership Initiative at Harvard (29:13) Combining passions: education and environment (30:21) Advice for post-career transitions (31:09) Investment lessons learned by Michael Sonnenfeldt and David Jaffe (34:04) Philanthropic ventures: FARE and Subject to Climate(35:50) Balancing nonprofit and personal life (38:30) Partnerships(40:40) Impact and future goals (46:27) Personal reflections and advice (49:37) Tip JarAbout:TIGER 21 is the premier peer membership organization for ultra successful entrepreneurs, investors, and executives.Tip Jar:Dad's Ten RulesSalman Khan: "Brave New Words"Merrily We Roll AlongStereophonicLinks:tiger21.comMichael Sonnenfeldt - LinkedIn | @mwsonnenfeldtFARE foodallergy.orgSubject to Climate subjecttoclimate.orgFollow & Connect:Podcast | YouTube | X | LinkedIn | Blog Hosted on Acast.

Differences in how real estate sectors perform have never been as “profound” as they are today, according to Michael Sonnenfeldt, founder and chairman of TIGER 21, a peer membership organization of high net worth current and former entrepreneurs, investors, and top executives. TIGER 21 members collectively manage personal assets of over $85 billion. Speaking on the REIT Report, Sonnenfeldt described the current situation in real estate as a “tale of two cities,” with retail “in a difficult strait” and industrial “on fire.” Sonnenfeldt explained that real estate has been the number one asset allocation for TIGER 21 members since the group was founded in 1999—and is likely to stay that way. Currently, real estate accounts for 27% of TIGER 21 portfolios and is favored by members due to its unique benefits and member expertise in the field, he said.
