Breakfast Boost Series- The Hardest Capital Conversation: How Business Owners Talk to Family About Money, Control, and the Business
Please note: This is an exclusive event for CEOs, presidents and business owners of second-stage companies.
Join us for the next GrowFL Breakfast Boost on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at 8:30am at Northern Trust- Tampa featuring Chris Swink, Northern Trust.
Many CEOs spend decades mastering conversations with employees, customers, and investors, yet avoid structured conversations with family about money, ownership, and future control. This session explores why those conversations break down, how silence creates assumptions, and how unclear expectations become family tension later. The discussion is about framing and sequencing conversations, not legal structures or financial tactics.
Key Takeaways:
- Avoiding money conversations does not preserve harmony, it postpones conflict
- Clarity beats fairness when families are involved
- The goal is not agreement, it is shared understanding before decisions are forced
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain expert insight, ask questions, and connect with other second-stage CEOs navigating similar challenges.
A light breakfast will be provided. Space is limited—reserve your seat today.
