Most business owners do not lack advisors. They lack alignment, and that disconnect can quietly create high costs.

In this episode, Adam and Steve Burton unpack why fragmented advice from CPAs, attorneys, and financial professionals creates blind spots that stall growth, increase risk, and derail exit plans. They introduce the Family Office mindset and explain how elite business owners think beyond the business to align strategy, taxes, personal wealth, and exit timing under one clear vision.

Adam and Steve discuss(es):

• Why siloed advice leaves business owners confused and exposed

• How misaligned CPAs, attorneys, and advisors can unintentionally work against your goals

• The Family Office mindset and why wealthy owners use specialist teams instead of one-size-fits-all advice

• The real cost of blind spots in tax planning, risk, and exit strategy

• And more!
