In this episode, we explore governance in family wealth, not as formal boards or structures, but as the lived reality of how decisions are actually made. Drawing on practical insight, he explains how influence, timing, and informal dynamics often shape outcomes long before any meeting takes place. The focus is not on changing the system, but on learning to observe it clearly.
Over time, this awareness allows for more thoughtful participation and better decisions. Governance, in the end, is less about control and more about clarity, protecting both decision-making and the relationships that sit beneath it.
