In this episode, Brian interviews Dr. Richard Orlando, an advisor specializing in working with high net worth families and family enterprises. They have an insightful discussion about the role of "love" in managing family wealth across generations. Dr. Orlando explains his philosophy of "whole family advising," which involves viewing the entire family, not just the wealth creator, as the client. He stresses the importance of understanding and connecting with clients' core values and purpose beyond just their financial assets. Dr. Orlando shares tactics for facilitating open communication, aligning estate plans with values, and defining "legacy" more broadly than just wealth transfer. They also discuss how to foster happiness and meaning for heirs so they can inherit positive mindsets rather than dysfunction.
