Hello everyone,
The Family Dynamics and Impact of Wealth podcast is a collection of stories … stories about, and by, wealthy individuals, families, family businesses and their family enterprises. Some of you know that the original podcast had a short life. It was only online for 1 ½ months. Shortly after its launch I had to take it down because of the requirements of a major corporation.
During its short life, the Family Dynamics and Impact of Wealth podcast had over 500+ listeners!
If you were one of those loyal listeners, you’ll be pleased to know that we are back! We will soon be interviewing, and sharing, the journeys of other wealthy individuals. And, every once in a while, I’ll jump in to share a few ‘how-to’ thoughts.
I hope you enjoy the stories of these brave folks who courageously stepped forward to share their journey in hopes that you will learn and benefit from their life experiences.
If you have thoughts or suggestions for future episodes, I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for listening,
Ginni
