At our firm we make a distinction between a Dynasty Family and a Legacy Family. The distinction between a Dynastic Family and Legacy Family is subtle. The Dynastic Family, even if it emphasizes spiritual, social, intellectual, and human capitals, needs the existence of financial capital to remain a dynasty. A Legacy Family emphasizes the qualitative capitals for their own sake and for the flourishing of the present family members, and not for the goal of preserving financial capital to the 5th generation, though that may take place. Dynastic Family Wealth is in the ownership of the collective family in perpetuity and the living members have its use only during their lifetime. The family’s wealth, to use Dennis Jaffe’s terminology, is “borrowed from grandchildren.” The family shows solidarity and feels responsibility for one another’s actions and activities. The “family name” is all important. Dynastic families can be very powerful and influential in society. Legacy Family Family has formed strong bonds with a shared mission and vision. Family members may be actively involved in the management of the family enterprise. Each generation is inspired to follow the legacy set by the elder generation. However, family can choose not to participate in the family enterprise. The rising generation is given the tools to flourish but is expected to make its own impact on the world.

“What sets apart Jenner Ag from the rest?" This was the question that we asked our recruiter Emily Amos. Her answers were nothing short of inspiring. Stay tuned to find out what makes the #JennerNation great and what qualities she looks for when hiring associates. ❓Q: In 2023, Jenner Ag became employee-owned. How has that impacted the associates? ❗ A: As employee-owners, we have a unique opportunity to contribute to the success of Jenner Ag. By working together toward common goals, we can create a bright future for both ourselves and the company. Now when we invest our time and energy into the future of Jenner Ag, we invest in our own retirement accounts.

That time I met Gary Vaynerchuk… (story continued after this PSA!) 🚨 5-second ask! Diversability is in the Top 10 (of 4,500 small businesses) to win $60k in a public vote. If you already voted, you can vote again today (you can vote once per day through April 19)! https://lnkd.in/gJP4Xpg4 🚨 Earlier this week, I got to attend Arlan Hamilton’s Your First Million Live, thanks to being a part of the Backstage Capital Catalyst Program to learn more about venture capital and investing. Gary Vee shared so many insights around the importance of humility and kindness, social media as a meritocracy (these platforms are free!), and branding and attention — but his garage sale flips are what I originally connected with. I have so many memories of going to garage sales with my dad as a kid before he passed away when I was 9. One of the best lessons I learned from my dad was to see the value in everything, and I’ve brought that to how I see and want to build up the disability community. We are valuable simply because we exist. And many years later, in the early days of relaunching Diversability®, while it started as a side hustle, I found some creative ways to make some extra money to see if I could make this “entrepreneurship thing” work. I sold jewelry through a direct sales company. I used Airbnb to rent out my apartment. I’d flip furniture I got on Craigslist. I had a corner of my apartment with the furniture, and my mom asked me to stop doing that 🤷🏻♀️ These are risks that not everyone can take (acknowledging my own privilege here), which is why once Diversability® started making some money, we reinvested it in back into our community by hiring disabled people, paying disabled speakers, and curating paid and visibility opportunities for our disabled community members. So back to meeting Gary Vee. I didn’t say any of this when I saw him, and we had a good laugh when I mentioned that we had a mutual friend named Gary Vee because I forgot what to say 🤣 #DisabilityInclusion #SmallBusiness #SideHustle #GaryVee #GaryVaynerchuk #VeeFriends Image descriptions: a photo of Gary Vee and Tiffany laughing together in front of the black Your First Million Live step and repeat.

Succession is more than just a strategy; it's a multifaceted process that extends beyond financial capital. In a recent article from WealthbriefingAsia.com, Jill Shipley, Head of Governance and Education at AlTi Tiedemann Global, highlights the importance of nurturing human, intellectual, social, and spiritual capital. She emphasizes that successful succession planning hinges on open communication across generations. So, how can families improve their preparation for succession and strengthen this communication? At leafplanner, we empower families to collect and organize crucial information, creating a comprehensive resource for managing their legacy. From identifying blind spots to educating family members and advisors, leafplanner equips families for effective succession of information, ensuring their legacy endures for generations to come. #SuccessionPlanning #FamilyBusiness #HNW #FamilyOffice #Legacy

A thought-provoking read by ImpactAlpha's guest writers, Smitha Das and Santhosh Ramdoss on how the movement towards employee ownership has the potential to help close the racial wealth gap. We're big supporters of a movement towards easier access to employee ownership potential and think we'll see more of this in 2024. How do you think companies can start to put this into practice? https://lnkd.in/gAzVfatS

Alternative ownership enterprises create a more equitable and inclusive economy. Love the language in the article of turning this moment into a movement. #supercharge #equity #socialimpact "Ownership is having a moment right now. More conference panels and industry articles are highlighting asset ownership as a compelling impact investment strategy. There is a growing list of investable opportunities and funders interested in the space. However, the managers of the emerging funds still often operate at limited scale. To truly close the racial wealth gap, we must do more. We must supercharge this moment and turn it into a movement. More funders and impact investors need to lean in, to scale solutions and unlock access to wealth for historically underinvested in and overlooked communities."

Have a look at this terrific article about a more modernized version of intergenerational home sharing (older adults and post-secondary students) called, SpacesShared! https://lnkd.in/gJA_dCwi This intuitively designed platform helps an older adult determine their own suitability for this model (and their dwelling) while also matching them with a compatible post-secondary student! It reduces the risks and complexity of making these arrangements for both parties. When the right match is found and supported, this can be such a win/win arrangement on so many levels (social, financial, logistical/housing). We know that intergenerational relationships are such a valuable way to increase our happiness, feel a greater sense of belonging, build trust and create safer communities. This homesharing option is a great one, and ready to be scaled up across Canada! #optionsopenguide #housingoptions #socialconnections #intergenerational Rylan Kinnon Jackie Tanner Mark Venning Margot McWhirter Kate Mulligan Sandi Pelly Michelle Hoar Laura Tamblyn Watts National Institute on Ageing HelpAge Canada Pete Bombaci Sharon Broughton Madeleine Hebert Stacy Barter
