    Discovering a Better Way to Motivate the Next Generation with David Yeager

    Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with David Yeager, professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and cofounder of the Texas Behavioral Science and Policy Institute. David is best known for his research conducted with Carol Dweck, Angela Duckworth, and Greg Walton on short but powerful interventions that influence adolescent behaviors such as motivation, engagement, healthy eating, bullying, stress, mental health, and more. David recently published his latest book “10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier” which quickly became a national bestseller. Here’s a universal truth: Parents and leaders alike constantly worry about their next generation – are they ready, are they responsible, will they be able to make it on their own, etc. It’s a tale as old as time. David shares his views and research on what is going on there and why that dynamic is so universally present across time, cultures, and socio-economic contexts. This dynamic repeats itself again and again, and so many parents and leaders fall into this trap repeatedly. But is there a solution? Is there a better way to interact with and motivate young people, and if so, what is it? David illuminates these questions from the perspective of his life’s work and his most recent research. One critical and powerful practical tool David talks about in his book is language and communication style. David shares his observations on the importance of language and how parents and leaders can communicate more effectively with the younger generation. An important practical topic David emphasizes to parents and leaders is the very real and notable rise in stress and anxiety among young people. He provides his insights into what both next-gen members and the older generation and those in positions of power should know and be doing to manage and alleviate this rising and damaging trend. Enjoy this informative conversation with a leading researcher, adviser and best-selling author in the field of next-gen engagement and motivation.

    Empowering Rising-Gen Owners with Cutting-Edge Technology with Alexandre Lin

    Today, I am delighted to speak with Alexandre Lin, co-founder and CEO of SumIt Software, a simple, yet sophisticated solution for complex family office accounting. Alex is a second-generation leader of his family's real estate ventures in France and China, and he now dedicates himself to SumIt. Before founding SumIt, Alex was an active investor, advisor, and partner in multiple entrepreneurial ventures, and a management consultant with IBM and Kearney. Alex and his family office are an associate member of FOX and SumIt Software is a FOX technology partner, and we are thankful to have his expertise as part of our membership community. As a G2 rising family leader, Alex has first-hand experience with the challenges of family transitions and of rising-gen members taking over responsibility and control of their family enterprise. He shares his views and experiences with this intergenerational transition process and the factors that make it challenging for the incoming younger generation. One of the key challenges Alex believes G2 leaders face is the ability to make good decisions, especially in the face of incomplete information and fragmented data. He elaborates on this issue, shedding light on the reasons why next-gen owners are challenged by poor visibility and bad data. Alex founded SumIt Software out of frustration with existing solutions he tried to deploy for his own family office. He talks about the specific challenges he encountered and the practical solutions he set out to create with his product. Looking ahead, Alex provides a vision for how technology solutions for the family office space will develop, and offers practical tips for family owners, family office professionals, and wealth advisors on how they should think about and prepare themselves for the changes that will impact the tools they will need and use in their family offices and firms.

    Architecting Trust Documents to Reinforce the Family Vision and Well-Being with Kim Kamin

    Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Kim Kamin, partner and Chief Wealth Strategist at Gresham Partners LLC, an independent multi-family office serving about 120 separate families nationally. At Gresham, she leads the development and implementation of estate, wealth transfer, philanthropic, educational, and fiduciary planning activities. Kim is an adjunct professor at Northwestern University Law School and is on the faculty for the University of Chicago Business School in executive education.

Trusts are one of the most popular estate planning vehicles, especially in the US and a few other international jurisdictions, and Kim shares her views on how and why trusts came to be so widely used to plan and execute intergenerational wealth transitions, and how trust documents and the associated estate planning strategies evolved in the past few decades. We are at the outset of the “Great Wealth Transfer” and trusts – both ones that have been in place for decades and ones that are being newly created – are once again at the center of wealth planning conversations. Kim offers her thoughts on some of the current trends and developments in estate planning and how thinking and usage of trusts is changing or evolving. One practical advice Kim puts forth is to pay attention to the “the small things” when creating or working with trusts and estate plans, and highlights some of the frequently neglected details our listeners should be mindful of. Another valuable tip Kim recommends is to draft trust documents for flexibility. She talks about what that entails and what both wealth owners and family advisors in our audience should consider to be able to make better use of trust documents and other estate planning tools. You would not want to miss this conversation with one of the most knowledgeable, respected, and active thought leaders in the family wealth and estate planning space.

He talks about why he has this conviction, how he sees it play out today, and why and how families play this key role in innovation and building new solutions and products. The topic of our conversation with Dave is encapsulated in a relatively new term: “Builder Capitalism”. Dave defines Builder Capitalism for our audience, describes the tenets of this investment philosophy, and outlines the mindset and skills it requires. He also paints the picture of how Builder Capitalism is manifested in reality through the activities and behaviors of entrepreneurs. Dave offers many practical tips and suggestions to the different market players who are interested in Builder Capitalism, starting with what investors need to know or do if they want to participate in this movement and allocate their capital (financial and non-financial) to Builder Capitalist ventures. He also provides his advice to entrepreneurs and founders who share this belief system and see themselves and their startups as members of this Builder Capitalism economy. Finally, Dave offers his insights into the resources available to both investors and founders to become better educated about Builder Capitalism and to be better connected into the emerging ecosystem of this rising entrepreneurial movement. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the leading thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators in the Builder Capitalism movement, who is also a family principal and leader of his own multigenerational entrepreneurial family.

He shares what he means by this term, why it is important for families to internalize, and how well he thinks it is being understood and practiced today. The most fundamental practical tip Dennis suggests to families undergoing transitions and succession is to address the loss the founder is experiencing. He elaborates on this process and how multigenerational families can apply it to successfully address founder paralysis. Beyond addressing the loss and overcoming the state of paralysis, Dennis points out that it is important to define and develop the next phase of the founder’s life, in which he/she can continue to be a highly functioning, productive, and purpose driven individual. He describes how this is best done and goes over some of the pitfalls to avoid and tips to take advantage of.
