Embracing the Power of Joy Within the Family with SC Perot
The episode sits outside the usual allocation and deal content and instead addresses how family members communicate and support one another, which is the kind of conversation relevant to families working through shared decisions and relationships. Advisors may find the "joy profile" framing a usable prompt for discussions with clients about what they want beyond the balance sheet.
