  <title>Mike Thrasher, Modus - Family Office 101</title>
  <description>In this episode, the discussion centered around the complexities and dynamics of&amp;amp;nbsp;family&amp;amp;nbsp;offices. Topics covered included the growing number of single-family&amp;amp;nbsp;offices, especially in North America, the typical asset size that justifies establishing a&amp;amp;nbsp;family&amp;amp;nbsp;office, and the transition to multifamily&amp;amp;nbsp;offices&amp;amp;nbsp;to manage costs and expand services. The conversation touched on investment management within&amp;amp;nbsp;family&amp;amp;nbsp;offices, the mystique and challenges of maintaining privacy, and the psychological factors, including&amp;amp;nbsp;family&amp;amp;nbsp;dynamics and governance. We also highlighted trends such as technological advancements, charitable involvement, and interest in unique investments like art and collectibles. Furthermore, the discussion emphasized the importance of journalism’s role in bringing transparency and information to this evolving sector, with insights into Mike Thrasher’s new company, Modus, which focuses on&amp;amp;nbsp;family&amp;amp;nbsp;office&amp;amp;nbsp;content.
