They have the freedom to make long-term investments, but they also face challenges associated with funding for growth, complex family dynamics and the need to manage liquidity events for family members, says Mikel Williamson, the newly appointed president and CEO of First Bank in the St. Louis area. On the ABA Banking Journal Podcast \u2014 sponsored by&amp;nbsp;R&amp;amp;T Deposit Solutions&amp;nbsp;\u2014 Williamson discusses how $6.7 billion-asset First Bank \u2014 itself a family-owned enterprise \u2014 supports this sector through its&amp;nbsp;Center for Family-Owned Businesses&amp;nbsp;and wealth planning options. He also discusses the bank\u2019s investment in core transformation and open digital banking architecture and his background in Texas banking before joining First Bank earlier this year.
