Veritage CEO Franco Lombardo was recently a guest on the "Smart Wealth™ with Thane Stenner" podcast where they covered a number of pertinent topics from the emotional side of family business. Franco explains that by asking his clients the questions they’ve been avoiding asking themselves, they can begin to better understand their relationship to money, why they behave the way they do with it and how they can then choose their behavior. The discussion then covers why the human capital asset class should be the next investment focus of business families in order to prepare all generations for a smooth wealth transition.
