In this episode, we sit down with Alexander Hoare, 12th-generation partner and former CEO of C. Hoare & Co., the UK’s oldest privately owned bank.
Alexander shares what nearly 350 years of family business can teach us about building for the long term, why bigger isn’t always better, and how strong relationships with customers and employees have helped the bank survive for generations.
We also explore what happens when making more money is no longer the goal, and why Alexander believes wealth ultimately needs meaning and purpose.
From family succession and philanthropy to legacy and the value of thinking in decades rather than quarters, this episode is a conversation about building an empire that lasts and figuring out what it’s all for.
