  1. Every Dollar with Intention: The Other 95% of Your Portfolio

    Every Dollar with Intention: The Other 95% of Your Portfolio

    What is the other 95% of your foundation's capital doing while the 5% does the giving? In this episode, Courtney Joyner-Gage sits down with Lauren Sercu, co-founder and managing partner of Sorensen Impact Advisory, to trace the Sorensen Impact Foundation's journey to a 100% mission-aligned portfolio — replacing over 30 investment managers while pursuing market-rate returns. Lauren breaks down the continuum of capital from pure philanthropy to catalytic and market-rate impact investing, shares practical first steps like values-screened direct indexing, and explains why grant dollars remain irreplaceable for the work markets won't fund. She also offers hard-won advice on facilitating family values conversations across generations. Her parting challenge: your capital is already making a statement about what you value — the only question is whether that statement is intentional.

Nothing discussed in this episode constitutes a recommendation, offer, or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Certain statements made during this episode are forward-looking in nature, including descriptions of anticipated investment outcomes, expected portfolio characteristics, and potential benefits of specific strategies.

Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. The discussion of tax-loss harvesting describes a potential feature of direct indexing for investors with taxable accounts. Tax outcomes depend on each investor's individual tax situation and cannot be predicted or guaranteed. SIA does not provide legal or tax advice. Please consult a qualified legal or tax professional before implementing any strategy discussed in this episode. Tax-loss harvesting involves the realization of losses and does not guarantee a net tax benefit. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, including the possible loss of money invested.

    Collaborating through Conflict

    In this episode of the Purposeful Planning Podcast, host Andy Stubblefield sits down with Jeff Savlov and Garrett Wells to explore what it really looks like to collaborate through conflict in complex family systems. Drawing from a real-world engagement involving a strained trustee-beneficiary relationship between a mother and daughter, Jeff and Garrett reflect on the challenges of stepping into a high-stakes collaboration as new partners navigating emotional tension, unclear expectations, and evolving client needs. Together, they unpack themes of ego, economics, and expectations, highlighting the importance of humility, communication, role clarity, and staying within one’s expertise while serving families in moments of transition. Through honest reflection on both the successes and disappointments of the engagement, this conversation offers practical insight for advisors seeking to collaborate more effectively across disciplines in support of families and their long-term well-being.

    Finding a Place to Stand: Dr. Ed Shapiro on Voice, Authority, and the Family System

    In this episode of the PPI Podcast, host Steve Legler sits down with Dr. Ed Shapiro, former longtime CEO and Medical Director of the Austen Riggs Center and author of Finding a Place to Stand. Dr. Shapiro walks through what makes Riggs unlike any other psychiatric setting — an open campus, intensive psychotherapy, a therapeutic community, and real roles in the surrounding town — all built around the conviction that patients are competent adults who can take charge of their own lives once they find the language for what they've been carrying. The conversation then turns to the families PPI members serve. Dr. Shapiro unpacks the "designated patient" — what PPI founder John A. Warnick calls the "designated difficult one" — and explains how significant wealth can quietly stall the development of agency in rising-generation heirs, why behavior is best understood as communication rather than something to simply suppress, and how a sibling "family champion" is often the one who first reaches out for help. For advisors, he offers direct guidance: don't try to fix the family, resist the urge to call a break when emotions spike, and recognize the red flags that signal a family's struggle has moved beyond consulting or mediation into territory that calls for deeper clinical work.

    A System's Lens Through a System's Journey Part 2: The Power of Talking about our Mistakes

    What role do mistakes play in effective advising—and how can they become a catalyst for deeper learning and better outcomes? In this episode of the Purposeful Planning Podcast, Kathy Wiseman and Natalie McVeigh explore how missteps in systems work, client referrals, and family meetings can serve as powerful opportunities for growth. Kathy shares her personal journey of reframing mistakes, emphasizing transparency, clarity, and the importance of helping clients build their own problem-solving capacity rather than over-functioning as advisors. Together, they discuss creative approaches to engaging families—from experiential exercises to rethinking meeting dynamics—and offer a fresh perspective on what defines success: not perfection, but the creation of curiosity, openness, and possibility within complex family systems.

From values-centered planning and family dynamics to AI, risk management, and the future of impact, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at how advisors can unlock philanthropic capital and help families translate purpose into meaningful, sustainable social impact.

    Turning up the Lights: A Progressive Approach to Wealth Disclosure Conversations

    For many people, talking about money is seen as taboo. While open communication about money and wealth is touted as a best practice in preparing the rising generation and maintain harmony, many families don’t know where to begin and when and how much to share. Often, they feel pulled toward two opposing choices: disclose everything or disclose nothing. In this sense, disclosure feels like an on/off switch. At the Merrill Center for Family Wealth®, we have developed a progressive approach that makes wealth conversations efficient and productive for families. Thus, rather than viewing wealth disclosure communications as an on/off switch, we suggest viewing it as a dimmer switch.
