Mike Proctor, a financial planner, interviewed social researcher Shaunti Feldhahn about her book on relationships and money. Feldhahn discussed how her research found that most couples struggle to talk about finances, as money tends to bring underlying issues to the surface like unmet expectations, fears, and insecurities. She emphasized the importance of understanding one’s partner’s perspective rather than just thinking one’s own view is right. Proctor related his own experiences using Feldhahn’s book with clients, finding it helps plow the field for deeper conversations. They discussed challenges advisors may face broaching personal topics, but agreed addressing underlying relational dynamics is key to truly helping clients thrive financially and in their relationships.

In this podcast, Dr. Roy Smith dives into his extensive experience working with family businesses and counseling clients. Dr. Smith openly shares about growing up in a dysfunctional family environment and how it has paved the way for becoming a therapist. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the emotional history of previous generations when working with families. Recognizing and connecting with people in the spiritual sense is highly prioritized among his work. 
In this conversation, Dr. Smith includes points on prioritizing personal growth and taking the responsibility for one’s own “lostness” rather than trying to change others. Developing empathy starts with gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. He advocates for granting the next generation the freedom to individualize while remaining as an integral part of the family and business structure. Highlighting that challenges and setbacks provide opportunities for growth, Dr. Smith states the value of using one’s struggles and failures as a catalyst for personal development when faced head-on. God uses both comfort and discomfort to create environments that are conducive to spiritual prosperity. 
Overall, this episode ventures into the transformative power of facing our own issues, fostering empathy, allowing the next generation change while still being part of the system, and reframing hardships as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles to be avoided. Dr. Roy Smith’s insights provided valuable wisdom for both family businesses and the journey of individual development. 
 
Key Points: 

View struggles and failures as opportunities for growth rather than things to avoid. 


The importance of acknowledging issues from previous generations in a family business and dealing with underlying emotional history.


Developing empathy by understanding ourselves more fully.


God uses both comfort and discomfort to create environments for our spiritual development.
