Legacy is More than Money Received with Gregory Kovsky

Most founders feel their legacy could be more authentic and honest, but they don’t know where to start. The personal side of any business exit, such as impact on relationships, purpose or creating a customized legacy plan, is starting to become a concern in conversation with the Founding Generation as they prepare to sell their businesses ... knowing the impact of the sale can last for years, even generations, for family members as well as business associates. So where do you start in the planning and communications, so you don’t show weakness to your team?  In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Gregory Kovsky, President of IBA (International Business Associates), about the loneliness as well as vision founders have to navigate to preserve human and all other forms of capital. Together, we explore how money can color relationships, what will have the same pleasure in life (after the sale) and planning ahead is always better than ‘let’s work it out after the sale’, given the vested parties impacted by a Founder’s decisions.
