Born in Ukraine, Mo Lidsky’s entrepreneurial journey spans seven countries and multiple industries such as automotive, finance, nonprofit, real estate, and technology. Today, Mo serves as the chairman and CEO at Prime Quadrant, as well as director and officer on several corporate and charitable boards. Mo has authored several acclaimed books, including The Philanthropic Mind, In Search of the Prime Quadrant, and Selling Snake Oil. Drawing from years working closely with ultra-affluent families, Mo’s books are intended to help families improve their financial, social, and human capital. The konnect better initiative resulted from the recognition that no amount of financial assets could replace (or acquire) our most cherished relationships and the deep, loving connections we yearn for. As a result, Mo has focused this new book on empowering families to strengthen the relationships that matter most, as that is where true wealth ultimately lies.

Bob Gould is a partner at Creaghan McConnell Gould Ltd. As the overseer of CMG’s Family Capital Services division, he has carefully selected a team of highly talented professionals from across North America. He and his team focus on how relationships and financial planning affect the outcome the family is striving for.

Bob is dedicated to supporting one of Canada’s most valuable resources—the country’s top business families. For over thirty years, he has paid attention to the best practices that successfully support their unique ownership challenges: estate, succession, and exit planning. Bob has also supported many of Canada’s best advisors as they assist these families.

What Bob has learned is that the technical part of planning is so important to do thoughtfully, recognizing that it will continue to evolve as life changes. More importantly however, is paying attention to what really matters to the family and how relationships can either support or undermine a very well thought out plan.
