She’s spent decades helping founders, families, and advisors navigate the uncomfortable questions most people avoid—until it’s too late.In this episode, we explore the hidden cracks in succession planning, the emotional blind spots that derail even the best-laid legacies, and why giving your kids shares in the family business might be the worst gift of all.
