This is part two of our conversation with Grace Mathew, Managing Director of WeThink Group. If you haven't watched part one yet, start there, we cover what a family office actually is and why succession planning fails even at the billion dollar level.

In this episode, we get practical. Grace breaks down how family offices are actually reacting to the recent tax changes, why concentrating your investments in what you genuinely understand can beat blind diversification, and why doctors have a real, unfair advantage when investing alongside their own profession. We get into real numbers from inside the family office deal flow, including a fund that returned 70% in a single year, and why Australia's legal definition of a sophisticated investor has almost nothing to do with actual sophistication.

Most importantly, Grace shares her honest advice on how doctors and their families can start borrowing these exact strategies, no matter their net worth. That means having the money conversation before you think you need to, understanding why family disputes are one of the biggest decimators of generational wealth, and avoiding the one mistake almost every family makes when passing money down.
