And I just think that family offices, because many of them are so philanthropic and many of them are holistic and heir intent is to make it last, that it'll have a lasting impact.” - Ron DiamondResources Mentioned:Excelsior Capital------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with Ron on LinkedIn!Check out Ron’s company, Diamond Wealth on LinkedIn!Connect with me:LinkedInLIKE, SUBSCRIBE, AND LEAVE US  A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or whatever platform you listen on.
