Dr. Sara Davis, director of the Family Enterprise Center at Kennesaw State, joins Adam Hatcher to cut through the confusion around family offices—a structure that once seemed reserved for the ultra-wealthy but now appears on the horizon for families with as little as $5 million in assets. The episode grounds big-picture trends in the everyday risks and decisions families face: what it means to start a family office, how to avoid drifting into complexity, and where most families go wrong when governance and communication are afterthoughts. The conversation keeps both the company and the family in view, insisting that chaos isn’t inevitable—but clarity won’t happen by accident.Key Highlights• Defines the family office: a formal organization for managing family assets, investments, and services far beyond what a CFO provides; the office sits inside the broader family business “box,” serving both investment needs and family priorities.• Names the real trend: families are starting these conversations at $5 million in assets, not $100 million—long before most advisors would expect.• Poses the essential questions: What’s the family’s goal? Who benefits—from children to cousins to new spouses? Is participation automatic or selective? Who’s accountable for governance, transparency, and decisions?• Warns against drifting in: passive or unclear decision-making often creates lasting chaos—families need transparency, deliberate planning, and a written framework from the start, or risk unraveling like the Vanderbilts.• Pinpoints planning milestones: birth, marriage, divorce, and death as predictable inflection points where family business chaos can erupt if left unaddressed.• Calls for deliberate, recurring family meetings: open, detailed conversations about direction, distribution, and expectations—structured communication as the foundation for a chaos proof family business.• Outlines first steps: adopt a family constitution, establish clear decision rights, and document exactly which services and boundaries the family office will oversee.References• Family Enterprise Center – Kennesaw State University: https://www.kennesaw.edu/coles/centers/family-enterprise-center• Dr. Sara E.

Hey friends, Josh here. I’m grateful to be back and to share some incredible stories from youth camp, where the Lord made Himself known in real, practical ways. From a worship team member’s headache improving through simple prayer, to students wrestling honestly with sin, and witnessing both deliverance and newfound joy, this episode is a window into what can happen when we give the Holy Spirit room to move. I’m also excited to bring an update about our new partnership with Loft City Church in Richardson, and to invite you to jump in with us—whether for a season or longer—as we prepare to launch a church community shaped by the presence of Jesus.Key Highlights:On the first day of camp, a worship team member receives significant relief from a headache after a simple, in-the-moment prayer. Her surprise and emotion remind us, “God is real, He cares, and He heals.”That encounter later stirs her to see people differently—she offers kindness to two women experiencing homelessness. Even feeling she could have prayed more, we recognize together, “That’s fruit of the Spirit. That’s love.”During worship, students write down personal struggles and nail them to the cross—a moment inspired by a message on Christ breaking the “Roman seal” over death. A seventh-grade boy confesses lying, desires “his previous self to die,” and chooses baptism, saying, “If that’s what it takes to get closer to Jesus, I want to do it.”An eighth-grade girl bravely shares her struggle with self-harm. Through support, prayer, and honest conversations, she experiences transformation—telling me with tears and laughter, “I just feel happy... I’ve never felt this way.”Reflection on making space for Jesus in worship—how God’s presence brings transformation, joy, and deliverance when we lay down our usual expectations.Breakthrough Church has a new home: we’ve secured a facility partnership with Loft City Church in Richardson, a door God opened at just the right moment. We’re inviting volunteers to serve—whether as a teacher in kids’ classes, greeter, on hospitality, or guest follow-up—for twelve, twenty-four months, or just a season. If your heart is stirred to serve, we’d love to talk.

Scott Berry convenes co-authors Kert Viele, Joe Marion, and Lindsay Berry to discuss the statistical and developmental nuances of inferentially seamless phase 2/3 clinical trial designs. The group dissects the simple method for distributing alpha when including stage 1 data, whether it is a good idea to distribute alpha, and the optimal allocation of sample size when Stage 1 data are carried forward, all referencing their recently published work in Pharmaceutical Statistics.Key Highlights:Systematic definition of seamless phase 2/3 trial designs, contrasting fixed, separate-phase models with integrated, inferentially seamless approaches.Detailed explanation of the required alpha adjustment when selecting doses partway through—leveraging group sequential theory, normal approximations, and quadrature for explicit formula derivation; R code and calculation procedure are made available for practitioners.Exploration of the information fraction curve for adjusted alpha, emphasizing that initial adjustment is numerically significant but does not inherently reduce statistical power.Findings indicate that power is always higher when including stage 1 data – and outperforms a closed testing procedure.Discussion of when seamless trials may not be advantageous: operational and statistical limitations: insufficient endpoint/regulatory understanding for phase 3, differences in manufacturing readiness, need for public phase 2 results for funding, and proof of concept hurdles; identifies real scenarios where seamless 2/3 designs are challenging.Considerations for operational bias and blinding, with technical commentary on the boundaries of unblinding within company roles.Provision of practical R code and explicit analytic guidance for calculating adjusted alpha in seamless design protocols.

Riccardo Stewart, Jeff Locke, Zach Miller, and Sam Acho gather in the front office to tackle the big question facing every pro: you’ve built your value—how do you really capture it? They pull back the curtain on high-stakes negotiations, using the Brock Purdy contract as a case study. Jeff breaks down why the numbers on NFL deals rarely tell the full story, especially compared to MLB and NBA. Zach and Sam get specific, explaining the split between truly guaranteed money and what’s just ink on paper—then show how players can turn presence and connection into off-the-field wins. Between anecdotes from inside CBA talks and clear advice on reading the business, the team lays out the game plan for pros and their families to run their own huddle—and stay ahead of the league.Key highlightsWhat it means to run your career like an “Athlete CEO,” with the field as only part of the equation.Why only 20 out of 43 active NFL contracts over $100M are fully guaranteed, compared to every deal that size in the MLB (68) and NBA (82)—and what that means when negotiating as a pro.A close look at Brock Purdy’s contract: signing bonuses, real guarantees, “outs” for the team, and the importance of securing more value early, not just on paper.How relationships in your city and community create real off-the-field value—think partnerships, sponsorships, and trust beyond stats.Firsthand accounts from CBA negotiations: how owners approach contracts, what’s really said in the back room, and why understanding the league’s view is essential for every athlete.The bottom line for players and families: study the playbook, know your leverage, and get every piece you’ve earned—on and off the field.
