The conversation was held during the recent Lido Family Office Investment Symposium in Santa Monica, Calif., and focuses on how family businesses are surviving in a divided America. The discussion centers on how family businesses and the government must invest in the success of the country as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to touch on the importance of sharing family business success stories and how leaving a legacy for your family is one of the strengths of this country,\u201d said Pat Soldano, president, Family Enterprise USA. \u201cThe whole notion of success today in family businesses has changed, and not necessarily for the better,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
One of the key points Luntz urged attendees to understand is the importance of language and messaging in a media-driven world.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur research shows we\u2019ve never been more divided as a country, and it scares me,\u201d Luntz said. \u201cThere is a strong opinion out there that this country is not giving back, and this must be addressed if we are going to survive as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
They two also addressed the changing American Dream and how generationally-owned family businesses are fighting against burdensome taxes and unnecessary regulation. Soldano re-emphasized the critical importance of sharing family business stories, both positive and negative, to illustrate what is at stake.<\/p>\n
