Today's business and family leaders are facing unprecedented pressures to proactively address social and environmental issues. In recent years we've seen a global pandemic; new public awareness about race and gender; gun violence; a mental health crisis; and floods, drought, wildfires and global food scarcity. Family enterprises are, not surprisingly, leading the way in finding solutions and turning challenges into opportunities. The changing landscape is creating new prospects in both business and family life to create social impact and find purpose.
