Happy New Year! To conclude our series on stewarding generational wealth, we had the incredible opportunity to sit with two individuals on separate ends of the generational wealth spectrum.

Their daughter, Lauren Warkentine, joins us as we sit and visit about the various stages, both challenging and rewarding, that faced the family-owned business throughout the years.
