In this episode, Ellie Frey Zagel is joined by Colleen Mitchell, Founder and Principal of VENTURE3Philanthropy, and Paige Cornetet, Chief Millennial Officer with Millennial Guru. Combined this power trio make up 3Gen Perspectives, a collaboration and presentation offering they’ve developed and delivered to several family wealth audiences this year.
Each 3Gen Perspectives leader brings a unique generational perspective to the conversation—Colleen is a Boomer, Ellie is a Gen Xer, and Paige is a Millennial.
