  How One Family Office Principal Built and Sold Over $500M Across Real Estate, Pharma, and Insurance 19.08.2026 7мин

  Send us Fan Mail This investor has spent decades doing one thing: buying right. From a 10,000-unit apartment portfolio sold to a major real estate buyer, to a pharmaceutical company purchased for $18M and exited at $358M, to two insurance companies flipped for significant returns - the track record is built on cash flow, not speculation. In this episode, he shares his full investment history and explains why today's market has made it nearly impossible to find the kinds of companies he used t...

  Capital Partners, Micro Wellness Resorts & Kids Who Get Back Up: How 4 Athletes Close Out 17.08.2026 4мин

  Send us Fan Mail Most athletes talk about what they've done. These four are talking about what they're building next. Dan wants capital partners to scale multifamily across Dallas over the next decade. Alvin is looking for partners with intelligence, initiative, and integrity for syndications and M&A. Otis has a vision for a micro wellness resort - saunas, cold plunge, health tech, community, built into land outside Austin. And Bronson wants to keep connecting people to the tax and family...

  NFL Player Turned Lawyer Explains Why Letting Go of Control Was His Best Business Decision 14.08.2026 8мин

  Send us Fan Mail Fear paralyzed him on Bitcoin. A decade in prestigious law firms surrounded by smart, unhappy people showed him what success without purpose looks like. And a stranger in Home Depot delivered a message that changed the direction of his business. Otis Grigsby played 6 years in the NFL, practiced law at large firms for 6 years, and is now part-legal, part-growth, part-strategy at his wife's health tech marketing agency - and watching ChatGPT recommend their services to stranger...

  X Games Gold Medalist to Multifamily Operator: Why "Inch Wide, Mile Deep" Beats Every Strategy 12.08.2026 6мин

  Send us Fan Mail 8% of pro athletes are broke within 3 years of retirement. Dan Breezy watched it happen to his friends and decided to do something different. After multiple X Games gold medals in urban snowboarding, he took the same "inch wide, mile deep" focus that made him one of the best in the world at one discipline - and applied it to becoming one of the best value-add multifamily operators in Dallas-Fort Worth, working alongside mentors like Ken McElroy and Bobby Castro. In this epis...

  The 3 I's That Took This NFL Pro From the Field to M&A: Intelligence, Initiative, Integrity 10.08.2026 6мин

  Send us Fan Mail Most people think diversification means spreading your attention. Alvin calls it focused diversity - mastering one thing per day so that by Sunday, you have a full tool belt. That framework took him from the NFL and CFL to aerospace engineering to running operations on the M&A side, taking $10 million companies to $100 million valuations, while building a ground-up 4-unit multifamily development in Los Angeles. In this episode, Alvin Scioneaux, Jr. unpacks the three I's t...

  7 Years in the NFL Taught Him One Thing: The Tax Bill Is Bigger Than the Contract 07.08.2026 6мин

  Send us Fan Mail Your NFL contract is an exit. The ultra-high-net-worth understand that - and they plan for it. Bronson spent 7 years in the NFL as a W-2 employee, got crushed on taxes his first year sitting in muni bonds at 3%, and decided to spend the rest of his career learning exactly how family offices and top operators structure their wealth. Now he's the one opening those doors for other athletes. In this episode, Bronson breaks down the exact mindset rituals he used to stay present d...

  You Don't Need $100K — Non-Cash Currencies, Human Connection & Final Investor Wisdom | FOC 05.08.2026 4мин

  Send us Fan Mail The closing segment of the last panel of the day — and one of the most honest. A family office investor argues that most people are walking past million-dollar opportunities every day: the car wash owner with no succession plan, the small hotel operator whose kids just want the cash. These businesses can be acquired without large amounts of capital if you bring the right non-cash currencies — experience, network, operational expertise. A second-gen family office investor clos...
• 
  How to Legally Rig a Deal — Government Contracts, Warrants & Where to Put $100K Right Now | FOC 03.08.2026 11мин

  Send us Fan Mail The most tactically dense episode of the panel. A former Air Force pilot who built the US military's AFWERX innovation program explains exactly how he structures deals around government contracts — using the Electra hybrid electric aircraft as a live example: $65M pre-money valuation, with a $30M Air Force contract not factored into the price. His fund put its check in escrow, the government signed, and the investment dropped in at an automatic discount because government rev...

  Ego Kills Deals — Plus 3 Secrets Nobody Talks About: PPLI, Board Seats & Cap Table Disasters | FOC 01.08.2026 8мин

  Send us Fan Mail Four insights in one episode, each from a different voice. A second-gen family office investor says ego is the single biggest destroyer of wealth — it makes you miss small details, over-rely on past success, and walk into deals you should have walked away from. An audience member introduces private placement life insurance — a custom IRS-compliant policy structure that lets your family office hold alternative assets in a tax-deferred environment. A software investor explains ...

  Monthly Live Forum Replay: AI Superintelligence System, 50 Tools for Founders and Investors 30.07.2026 1ч 46мин

  Send us Fan Mail Hi, Richard Wilson here, founder of Family Office Club. I just wrapped our Monthly Live Forum on AI, and I wanted to make sure this one actually gets used, not just watched. Here's what I walked through in this session: why context engineering matters two to three times more than prompt engineering right now, and how to actually build it into your own workflow instead of just chatting with ChatGPT or Claude like it's a search engine. I showed you the three levels of AI...

  Royalty Deals, LP Protection & The IP Depreciation Secret Most Family Offices Are Missing | FOC 30.07.2026 7мин

  Send us Fan Mail Three rapid-fire insights that the room had not heard before. First: gross revenue royalty deals — a family office founder who has done 17 of them explains why investors love them, almost nobody uses them, and how a dental practice scaled to $30M in revenue returned the full initial investment through monthly cash flow royalties before the exit even happened. Second: deal terms are where most investors get quietly destroyed — preference shares and waterfall structures can lea...

  Meet the Panel + The Office Space Thesis: Buying $160M Buildings for $18.5M | Family Office Club 28.07.2026 8мин

The intros lead directly into a live deal breakdown on distressed office space: a 200,000 sq ft Chicago building that traded at $25M bought f...

  Hard Lessons: Pay Your Lawyers, Align Incentives & Why a $90M Exit Paid the Founder Only $2M | FOC 25.07.2026 10мин

  Send us Fan Mail The most candid segment of the panel. A private investment banker says the most expensive mistake he made was not paying for expert legal counsel — and explains why a cheap lawyer costs more on the back end than a good one does upfront. A family office CFO cites his first private investment loss to make a principle: founders must have skin in the game and LP capital must come back first, always — the Richest Man in Babylon principle applied to modern private investing. A seri...

  Warning: SPV Layers, PE Trends & Why AI Is the Biggest Arbitrage Opportunity in the World Right Now | FOC 23.07.2026 7мин

  Send us Fan Mail Three things every investor needs to hear. First: a banker flags the growing SPV-on-SPV problem in today's VC market — 24-hour close emails, unverifiable shares, unvested stock — and explains why reading the actual paperwork has never mattered more. Second: on the PE side, capital scarcity means investors are winning more board seats, tighter terms, and preferential return structures. Third — and most shareable — a serial entrepreneur delivers a direct warning: AI is a tsunam...

  How Investors Value Early Stage Companies Today — Convertible Notes, EBITDA Multiples & Buying 14 Franchises for $5K Each | FOC 21.07.2026 7мин

  Send us Fan Mail Post-2022, valuations have come back to earth — but how do you actually price an early stage or pre-revenue deal right now? This segment breaks it down: a family office CFO explains when EBITDA multiples work and when a convertible note is the smarter tool, giving investors the flexibility to clip a coupon if the deal underperforms or convert to equity if it overperforms. Then a serial entrepreneur explains how he acquired 14 franchise locations at $5,000 each — against a $25...

  The Best Pitches These Investors Ever Saw — And What Every Green Founder Should Know | FOC 16.07.2026 16мин

  Send us Fan Mail The most shareable segment of the panel. Each investor shares the most memorable pitch they ever received — a collapsible cup prototype that wowed on every fact but failed basic physics, a 12-year-old's DJ business PowerPoint that hit credibility, clarity, and whimsy better than most professionals, and a founder who went from childhood paralysis to top-10 Halo gamer to tech CEO. Then the full panel answers the question every new capital raiser needs: how do you attract seriou...

  Investors React to Real One-Pagers — What Gets Read vs. What Gets Ignored | FOC 14.07.2026 7мин

  Send us Fan Mail Most investors see 100+ deals a week and give each one-pager 10 seconds. The panel critiques real one-pagers live — a tech-driven safe deposit box company that nailed the name but buried the product, a luxury real estate fund missing its hold time and minimum investment, a healthcare firm with a billion-dollar track record that still couldn't answer what it actually does, and one that finally scores well. The rule that runs through every critique: graphs not paragraphs. Abou...

You see in real time which ones make investors lean in and which get skipped. Plus: the FOC AI tool that generates 7 one-liners from your pitch dec...

  Meet the Investors — Then Watch Them Grade 2 Real Pitches Live | Family Office Club 09.07.2026 12мин

The episode ends with the investor who reveals the 3-part framework behind every score: Credibility, Clarity, and Whimsy — and exactly what each one means. About Family Office C...
