Episode 17: Welcoming a Non-Family Leader After 80 Years | Adding Value to the Family Business | A Report From Capitol Hill

In this episode, we sit down with John Darby and Dan Doyle of the Beach Company, a Charleston, S.C.-based residential and commercial real estate company celebrating its 80th anniversary this year. Along with that milestone, the company has announced a leadership change: Dan Doyle is taking over the role of president from John Darby, who held the position for 33 years. Doyle is the first non-family leader of the business. In this interview they discuss that transitions process, as well as the history and future of the business.

We also chat with Pat Soldano, the president of Family Enterprise USA and the Policy Taxation Group, about the results of FEUSA’s annual survey of family businesses, as well as the tax issues that are top of mind for many family business owners.

And Jo LaBorde, corporate concierge at Wekiva Island, an environmentally friendly recreation destination in Longwood, Fla., discusses the skill set she brought to add value to the business her brother founded.

This episode is brought to you by Element Pointe, an independent multi-family office and wealth management firm dedicated to guiding individuals and their families through important financial, investment, lifestyle and interpersonal matters — in turn, helping clients build a secure future and enduring legacy.
