I had a delightful conversation with Beth Liebman on her podcast, Beyond the Bottom Line, recorded on March 17 (hence the reference to St. Patrick’s Day) and published on March 31, 2026. We talked about some topics that you might find interesting, including:
- The “human side” of wealth that often gets overlooked
- Why family dynamics, not finances, are often the biggest challenge
- The reality of building a business rooted in purpose and depth, not scale, and
- How I define success beyond the bottom line.
