Episode Summary

The most valuable asset in any family office isn't investments, business equity, or real estate. It's human capital—the combined knowledge, skills, abilities, health, and potential of every person in your family. Financial capital can be lost. Human capital, properly developed, generates new financial capital indefinitely.
