In keeping with FFI’s longstanding commitment to the importance of history and narrative for enterprising families, practitioners, and researchers in the field, we are pleased to offer this podcast interview featuring Barnet Schecter, an independent historian whose books include The Battle for New York: The City at the Heart of the American Revolution. He is delivering a keynote at the FFI Global Conference in October, entitled “It’s A Family Affair: Conquering New York, from Revolution to Rising Seas.” We think that this conversation with Jordan Rich is a perfect example of the 2023 conference theme, “Evolving the Conversation: The Future of Family Enterprise Advising and Research.”
