About this lesson
Most families interview landscapers more carefully than the people advising their life's work. Treat the bench as a faculty and enroll the teenagers: one real meeting a year, briefed and debriefed. Hire their hands. Keep your head.
What you’ll learn
- Choose the bench. Do not inherit it.
- Bring teens to one advisor meeting a year.
- Ask how they get paid, on what, and by whom.
- After a year: are you smarter, or just more managed?
