Behind every family is a money story. The way we learn about it, talk about it and pass it down shapes both our family wealth identity and our relationships. In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Josh Gentine, a third-generation member of the family behind Sargento Foods and an advisor to enterprising families.

Josh is a family business advisor, helping multi-generational families and their leaders navigate the complexities of family enterprise ownership. Josh is accredited as both a Hogan and Gallup Strengths coach. His background as an investor, advisor, corporate director, and third-generation family business owner gives him a range of perspectives to draw from when advising clients. Josh focuses his time on helping family owners transition ownership and leadership from one generation to the next, coaching family members and senior leaders, building boards of directors, and supporting operating strategies across family organizations. Josh sits on the board of directors at his family’s company, Sargento Foods Inc., as well as a $700 million ESOP auto dealership group. Josh runs family executive round table groups for middle-market and large-cap family run companies, and he is currently a part-time instructor with the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School Family Enterprise Center.
