The Role of Intention in a Family Office (with Rob McLaughlin)

How do you decide if you need a Family Office? What goes into building one that will truly serve your family’s needs? What role does intentionality play in its design and success? Listen as our guest shares with us how a commitment to shared values created a need for a Family Office to steward his family’s resources in a way that impacts not only generations of family members, but an entire community, as well, and how communication and clarification of objectives helps maintain trust, respect, and good dynamics within the family.  Rob McLaughlin worked his way from District Sales Manager to Senior VP of Sales and Marketing in Advance Food Company, the business his father David co-founded in 1973.   When the family sold a majority interest, they recognized a need for a more formalized structure to manage the assets, and Rob stepped up to lead what became Square Deal Capital to steward the family’s assets after the sale. Rob earned a BBA in Marketing from Texas Christian University’s Neeley School of Business. He has served on the boards of the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma and Westminster School and currently serves on the boards of Watermark Bank, i2E Management Company, the McLaughlin Family Foundation, and Young Presidents Organization OKC. Rob enjoys escaping to the mountains with his family and watching and playing sports with his sons. He and his wife Chrissy live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with their sons, Michael & Kyle.
