Back from Singapore after another great @Prestel_Partner conference.
This time, I focused not on the rising gen—but the incumbent gen.

Fear of the unknown—not what the business looks like after transition, but what life looks like for them.

Intergenerational wealth transition has changed (forever).

It used to be about two generations.

You may not actually want to retire at all.

What do you do instead?

Make excuses.

The pattern works something like this:

“I want to retire” (you have to start saying this)
