An increase in income tax rate means you'll pay a higher percentage of your income to the government. This directly reduces your disposable income, the money you have left after taxes for spending or saving. This can make it harder to afford basic necessities, save for retirement, or invest in your future.

Barkman, known as The Business Transition Sherpa, is also the author of “The Business Transition Handbook: How to Avoid Transition Pitfalls and Create Valuable Exit Options.”

During the 30-minute podcast, Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA, discusses with Barkman the crucial need for early family wealth transition plans, how the next generation’s views on family management needs can vary widely from founders, and how expiring tax policies can disrupt planning. Soldano also talks about the urgent need for more advocacy on Capitol Hill.

“Family businesses are the largest private employer in the country, but our legislators are just now waking up to this important segment of the U.S. economy,” says Soldano. “It’s critical our family business voices get heard in Washington D.C.”

Family businesses account for 83.3 million jobs, or 59 percent of the country’s private workforce, according to research. America’s family-owned businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to the U.S. gross domestic product.

The podcast series, Succession Stories, explores the entrepreneurial stages of a business, from growth to maturity to focusing on value creation, exit planning, succession, and M&A for owner-led companies
