• “The Kids, Wealth and Consequences session at the Family Business Magazine/Stetson University April 2010 "Transitions" conference received high marks from attendees for its valuable content presented in an engaging format. It over delivered on expectations.” Barbara Spector, Editor-in-Chief, Family Business Magazine

• “Rich is a fantastic speaker and knows just how to engage the audience on a very personal subject.  His family experience allows him to cover a delicate topic with grace and humor.  I highly recommend the workshop/seminar to any family that is looking for a way to start conversation about money, kids and the future.  Communication is the key and the book/workshop gives you some tools to start that conversation with your children. “ Pam Flaherty- Schwartz Brothers

• "Parents in our community acquired very helpful information from Jayne about our kids and money. We learned about first determining our own values regarding money, and how to communicate that to our children, and how to help them begin to be financially responsible and independent. Jayne's presentation was very thought-provoking, and was delivered in a casual and entertaining manner. Jayne provides parents with some great resources to be used with children of all ages!" Chris Winkle Batavia Parent Academy

• “There's a lot of talk these days about 'sustainability' -- but until this book, really nothing that applied this concept to the very foundation of our society -- families.” Diane Gayeski, Dean of the Park School of Communications Ithaca College

• A combination of parenting and financial advice. They’ll not only learn how to shape future generations, but also gain insight into the meanings they themselves attach to wealth.“ Angela Leeper, Foreward Magazine, March/April 2010
