HOW TO ENSURE YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS KEEPS GOING

REG ATHWAL

My latest guest is Reg Athwal, the Executive Chairman of The Athwal Organization & Family Office (TAO Legacy), the Founder & Chairman of RTS Global Partners (RTS: https://www.rtsgp.com); Founder & Chief Educator of the Family Business Academy (http://www.familybusiness.acad…); and the Founder & Chief Mentor for latest venture and spin-off Fobillion, a private global advisory board and legacy club with UHNW Billionaire Families from 1st to 7th Generation located in 10+ countries. RTS has also invested in developing two EdTech platforms launching in early 2022 – the FamilyBusinessApp and Kinidify, to add value to millions of family firms.

I first ‘met’ Reg when I drifted into one of his rooms on Clubhouse, the social media audio app. I loved his deep knowledge and love for all things family business and the way he built a high value community that encourages and supports one another. 

He is that rare individual, wise (no wonder a number of billionaires have him on speed dial) and a true polymath. It is no wonder that he has coached and mentored many with great results.
