The Sassy Succesionist - A Family Office Podcast

Thanks for listening to my very first episode - I hope you'll stick around for the others!

Summary

In this episode, I talk about my respect for Voletta Wallace - the mother of the famous Notorious BIG. With a background as a schoolteacher, she was thrust into the unfamiliar world of estates, music rights, and money when her son died. She may not have intended to think about succession for her grandchildren instead of her son, but she successfully grew Biggie's estate from $10 million to $160 million over the past 3 decades.

Woohoo, we're on the second episode!

Summary

In this episode, I talk about the Ragley family debate that's in court - and it's quite the sassy story! A grandfather handed over an estate to the father at a certain age. Now, the 3rd generation expects a handover, but have they proved themselves ready?

Plus - how can families prepare their children to take over estates or businesses in this current environment?
