Mediated Prenups for Children of Wealth Embarking on Marriage
FFI Practioner published my article on Mediating Prenups for Children of Wealth. In it, I describe the benefits of starting with mediation. A prenup created collaboratively can strengthen a marriage rather than causing distress at the outset. Mediation transforms the prenup from a defensive document into a shared financial plan.

How to Create a Thoughtful and Caring Prenuptial Agreement
I was interviewed by Brian Adams of Mack International about my new book, The Marriage-Friendly Prenup. We covered a number of issues, including issues with Gen 2, marriages and prenups, what the less moneyed spouse brings to the table, the importance of creating marital wealth in a (first) marriage, helping clients understand trusts and family wealth structures, working within mediation as the best way to start the process. Brian did his homework, and this is one of the best interviews. If you listen to one, I highly recommend this one for a listen.
