Katie Darnall is the Business Development Director, Americas for Trusted Family. Today we learn how the software developed by Trusted Family provides a secure platform for the affluent family.  Generational wealth requires the storage of business and personal documentation, and often, this information is spread among many platforms. Trusted Family has developed software to manage business finances and provides a communication method that is much more secure than today's social media. Katie also discusses the family council concept and the value of bringing generations together to maintain the culture of the business and family name.  Tune in today for an eye-opening discussion of what is available in new software technology.    IN THIS EPISODE:    [01:47]  Katie Darnell explains the vision and services offered by Trusted Family and how their service intersects business and personal data  [03:24] The family enterprise ecosystem serves as the platform for ensuring that culture, goals, and values are passed down generationally  [06:37] Technology has brought a new component to the table that was not there when multi-generational business ventures began  [09:34] Organizing and driving engagement within the family is achieved through comprehensive software that includes the listing of social activities not related to the business  [17:16] New technology can provide a vehicle for younger family members to be a valuable asset bringing all generations together    KEY TAKEAWAYS:     A family council is integral to younger members of a multi-generational affluent family to ensure they espouse the same culture, mission, and direction that has contributed to the entity's wealth.  Social media platforms like texting, Snapchat, Instagram, and email are not secure ways to communicate, and documentation needs to be centralized.   The older generation, who still use a paper trail for business transactions, may resist new technology. However, once implemented, they see the benefits.    RESOURCES:    Beyond the Balance Sheet Website    Katie Darnall - Facebook    Katie Darnall - LinkedIn    Trusted Family Website    BIOGRAPHY:    Katie Darnall is the Business Development Director, Americas for Trusted Family, and is currently based in Knoxville, TN.

In this episode my guest Nike Anani and I speak about her journey of leaving a cushy corporate job in London to move back to Lagos, Nigeria to work in her family business.  Nike is an international award-winning entrepreneur, succession specialist and a legacy planning expert for future-focused business families. She is on a mission to help businesses move from lifetime to legacy, such that they build family enterprises of the future. With over a decade of family enterprise expertise in Nigeria, Nike helps owners lead their family organizations to long-term legacy and impact. Her inside experience as a second generation family business owner and family office pioneer birthed a passion to help other families in building enterprises that would outlive them. Nike is the Author of "Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses" and the host of "The Connected Generation" podcast - a top-10 Family Business podcast globally that is dedicated to NextGens that are seeking how to navigate building generational enterprises whilst leaving an impact. In this conversation we explore: + bridging divides between older generations and younger generations in the workplace. + how to get someone to buy into a change or new idea they may be resistant to. + the three things every entrepreneur needs especially if they want to work with family. 

Nike brings her valuable wisdom, firsthand experience, and elegant articulation to the podcast in this episode - she's a Consultant specializing in family business where the torch is being passed down to a new generation. Our conversation moved very naturally through various topics including Nikes Bio, technological changes, personal experiences with businesses, the future of business, the melting pot of Austin TX, cognitive diversity, maintaining a growth mindset, and we weave through various philosophies of tech, leadership, culture, generational differences, legacy, and much much more. Certainly an episode for everyone, not just those in family business. Please hit subscribe/follow! Thanks for listening! Here's her bio: “Nike Anani is a Speaker, Author and Consultant to NextGens that seek to lead their Family Businesses. She helps NextGens rise above operations into a non-executive board role with credibility, so that they are able to lead and formulate a plan to future-proof the business, becoming more effective change agents. Nike fuses her inside experience as a NextGen executive in her Family's Enterprise, as a Chartered Accountant and as a Family Business Advisor to bring practical proven solutions to the table. Nike has almost a decade of experience working in African family businesses, as a NextGen in her parents' businesses and also as a co-Founder of several others. This inside experience as a NextGen birthed a passion to help others in similar shoes as herself in being effective change champions that collaborate with other family members and stakeholders in co-building legacy businesses that would outlive them. After graduating from University College London, United Kingdom, with a degree in Economics in 2008, Nike worked at Deloitte London for 3 years in Corporate Tax International where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Thereafter in 2011, she relocated to Lagos, Nigeria to work in her family's businesses. She is the co-founder of African Family Firms, a pan-African association of family businesses, and the author of “Building Resilient Family Enterprises”. She is a member of Family Firm Institute. Nike is rated as one of the top 100 Consultants globally in the Family Enterprise World by Family Capital, a leading online publication for Family Businesses. She is happily married and a mother to two young boys, who are her biggest sources of inspiration to leave a lasting legacy on our world.” Couple quotes from Nike in this episode: “You want to plan as early as yesterday. it's never too early for legacy planning” “More Diverse teams, and true inclusion, leads to co-creation of better solutions.” Episode initially recorded on 8-27-21, released for the first time here

The Book Leads – Episode 29: Nike Anani & Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses For this episode, Nike Anani guides me through the nature of her work as a Succession Specialist who guides families in preparing family businesses to live on beyond this generation, the next and those that follow. Her career journey began after returning to her homeland of Nigeria, after having lived and studied abroad, to move the family business forward. What I took away from this great conversation is how we can all consider that successional mindset, to declare and work for what will be here beyond our work today and that of the generation that follows us. There's being reactive to the world around us, and then there's being proactive about what steps we're going to take, how we're going to work together, and how our name and mission will live – and thrive – beyond our lifetimes. Some highlights we touch upon in this episode: How society can tend to be about façade and veneers, but trauma can bring something beautiful, and that the failures and hardships allow us to learn so much – even in the family business. How perspective can be everything, allowing us to realize what we have when we step away and come back with fresh and opened eyes. The writing process and what worked for Nike The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Nike is, How do you go about setting up your legacy, whether individually, as a business, or as a family?

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Nike Anani. At 9 years old she went to the UK with her mom and brothers for what she was told was a summer vacation, but they never left. Nike's dad stayed behind in Lagos, Nigeria to run the family business, and it wasn't until she was in her 20s that she learned how extremely successful the family business was. Nike's parents' intentions of not sharing the scope of the business were good. They wanted their children to be focused, hardworking and self-motivated. However, as Nike explains, she didn't grow up in a wealthy culture and found herself not knowing how to navigate life as a wealthy person.

Succession plans take time and should be put in place as the business is being built and not at the point the Founder is ready to retire or unfortunately passes away. Succession planning is not a transaction, it's a transition. Guest Contact: Thanks for joining us for another episode of the WTF podcast.

On this weeks episode, I was able to speak with Nike Anani. She is a speaker, author, and consultant to "NextGens" that are looking to take over their families business. We often talk about attaining generational wealth and starting business, but we need to think deeper on how to maintain that wealth and more importantly pass it on to those that come after us. That is what Nike is out here doing daily for the next generation of wealth builders. Being an African woman who took over her families business she knows first hand all that you need to be aware of when stepping up to run the show.

On Dec.1, 2020 we hosted our “State of Education” Deep Dive as part of Education NEXT- this time focused on our children (or the NextGens) and relating to them flexible mindsets. This is in an effort to catalyze action and support best practices in education - teaching and learning - designed for tomorrow.

Nike Anani shares her journey as a Next Gen navigating Family Governance. About Nike: Nike Anani Family Business Expert ane Next Gen Coach (Nike Anani Practice) Co-Founder, African Family Firms (African Business Association) ____________________________ Nike Anani is a NextGen Coach and Mentor, focused on building multigenerational African family businesses and wealth. Only 2% of African family businesses successfully transition to the second generation, and Nike's mission is to reverse this trend. Nike assists second-generation family members (“NextGens”) in maximising their leadership effectiveness for service in the family business and in discovering and pursuing their unique life purpose. She has almost a decade of experience working in African family businesses, as a NextGen in her parents' businesses and also as a cofounder of several others. This inside experience as a NextGen birthed a passion to help others in similar shoes as herself in finding their voice, leading effectively and collaborating with their parents in building legacy businesses that would outlive them. After graduating from University College London, United Kingdom, with a degree in Economics in 2008, Nike worked at Deloitte London for 3 years in Corporate Tax International where she qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Thereafter in 2011, she relocated to Nigeria to work in her family's businesses. She is the co-founder of African Family Firms, a pan-African association of family businesses, and the author of “Building Resilient Family Enterprises”. Nike is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales, Institute of Directors, Family Firm Institute and a fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants. She sits on the boards of several companies. She is happily married and a mother to two young boys. You can find Nike on Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram

Julia Steed is a senior at Oak Ridge High School. She spent part of her summer working alongside Katie Schuman, a research scientist who specialized in artificial intelligence at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Her experience in ORNL's Next Generations STEM Internship Program has fueled Steed's interest in computer science. She and Schuman discuss the work they did together, the importance of mentorship for young scientists and the importance of the NEXTGENS program.
