Most entrepreneurs spend their entire lives building toward a massive exit, only to realize that managing wealth is a completely different skillset than creating it. In this episode of Show Your Value, Lee Benson sits down with Tim Daniels, CEO of TIGER 21, to pull back the curtain on the world’s most exclusive peer network for high-net-worth investors.
Tim oversees a community that manages over a quarter of a trillion dollars, but the conversation goes far beyond asset allocation. We explore why the most successful people on the planet struggle with isolation, how to protect your family from the "burden" of wealth, and why the education system is failing to teach the resilience necessary for the next generation.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The TIGER 21 "Score": How to build a diverse board of advisors for your life.
The Portfolio Defense: Why you need 15 peers to challenge your assumptions. The 5 Types of Wealth: Why mental, physical, social, and time health are more valuable than your bank account.
Raising Resilient Kids: How to foster a value-creation mindset in an era of "participation awards."
The Alpha of Philanthropy: How to ensure your charitable giving actually creates a net-positive impact.
