Quotes: "The smartest families focus on just one to three games that they get good at." - Richard Wilson "Passing on your values is more important than passing on the wealth because the values protect the wealth and the family from destroying each other. They will also protect the ability to regrow wealth. If the wealth is lost or damaged, the values will bring it back." - Richard Wilson Connect with Richard!
