In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder & Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Moe Soleiman – Private Client Advisor at Henley & Partners – the global leader in residence and citizenship planning for internationally mobile entrepreneurs and families.
Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, shifting perceptions of the United States, and growing concern about asset protection, Moe explains how residency by investment (RBI) and citizenship by investment (CBI) programs work in practice and why more high-net-worth families are seeking a “Plan B.” The conversation explores options across Europe, New Zealand, the Caribbean, and other key jurisdictions, covering golden visas, contribution versus investment routes, and global talent programs for highly accomplished individuals.
David and Moe also discuss how second residency and citizenship strategies can complement U.S. trust planning, including structures administered in South Dakota, to enhance diversification, global mobility, and optionality for families of wealth. They touch on timing, jurisdiction selection, and coordinated cross-border planning to help families preserve flexibility across generations.

Episode 49 - Leading with Yes: Inside the Modern Family Office with Justyn Volesko
In this episode, David Warren – Co-Founder and Chairman of Bridgeford Trust Company – sits down with Justyn Volesko – Partner and Co-Head of Family Office at Cerity Partners – for an insightful discussion on redefining the modern family office.
Justyn shares his career journey, from his time at Goldman Sachs to the big ideas that drove him to launch AJ Wealth, and ultimately his decision to join Cerity Partners to build a premier family office offering. He explains what truly differentiates a family office from firms merely offering “family office services,” emphasizing the critical need to understand and integrate tax, estate, asset protection, and financial planning disciplines to develop an optimal plan and deliver a holistic perspective.
Throughout the conversation, Justyn shares why leading with “yes” is essential in complex planning, describes the infrastructure behind scaling a high-touch family office model, and explains how proactive tax planning and technical expertise protect and enhance wealth while staying firmly within legal boundaries. David and Justyn also discuss planning amid geopolitical uncertainty, noting that truly knowing their clients allows them to anticipate risks and adjust planning strategies proactively. They highlight how flexible trust jurisdictions like South Dakota, and tools like decanting, make it possible to revise structures swiftly as circumstances evolve, ensuring clients’ plans remain aligned with their goals in a shifting landscape.
