Wealth, Wisdom, and the Power of Peer Connection: Kansas City TIGER 21 Chairs on The Corporate Couch Podcast 

When wealth is no longer the goal but the starting point, where do the ultra-high-net-worth go from there? 

In this special edition of The Corporate Couch podcast, host Jeff Pelaccio sits down with two Kansas City TIGER 21 Chairs who understand that question well: Heidi Lehmann, a five-time start-up founder turned investor and family office advisor, and Joe Kessinger, a leader in Kansas City’s venture capital, private equity, and family office ecosystem.  

Between them, they’ve built, scaled, exited, and invested across industries. Today, they’re guiding the next generation of wealth creators through one of the most complex transitions of all: life after liquidity.  

“You go from building something that defines your identity to asking: What now?”

– Heidi Lehmann, TIGER 21 Kansas City Chair

Together, they unpack why TIGER 21 is expanding in Kansas City with Members from the Heartland, as well as what it means to lead with purpose beyond business success and why TIGER 21 is uniquely positioned to support UHNW individuals through that journey.  

This episode dives into the often-unspoken challenges that come with financial success, including isolation, decision fatigue, and the search for purpose after the exit. These are some of the topics discussed in TIGER 21 Meetings. You will hear why TIGER 21 stands apart, offering Members access to a global peer network, curated experiences, and high-trust monthly forums where conversations go far deeper than the numbers. 

Heidi and Joe share how radical transparency, intentional leadership, and trusted community are reshaping the conversation around success at the highest level.  

If you have ever wondered what comes next after building, selling, or inheriting great wealth, this episode offers a rare window into how TIGER 21 Members are finding clarity, connection, and community.
