- Why there is a global phenomenon where a generation builds wealth, the next generation adapts to the wealth, and then the third generation loses it and has to rebuild

- Why the information we take in has a drastic impact on our mindset, and why it is important to practice self-care before trying to take care of others
- Why business owners should be proactive in having important conversations about money and finances with their children to help maintain intergenerational wealth
- What key steps family business owners can take to help second- and third-generation business leaders prepare themselves to take over the family business
