We live in a world that constantly tells our kids, “You are what you show, what you have, and what you post.” But families who build lasting legacies know something different: legacy is formed by what we give, not what we get.

In this episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we talk about how to raise generous kids and grandkids in a culture obsessed with more. Through research, real family stories, and practical ideas, we unpack why generosity is a foundational pillar of multi-generational success — and how parents and grandparents can model it intentionally.

You’ll learn: • Why generosity produces humility and unity while crushing entitlement • How consistent giving releases serotonin and builds long-term well-being • Why legacy families are remembered for what they contribute, not accumulate • Practical ways to model generosity so kids see it lived out • Simple traditions — jars, stories, rituals — that make giving part of family culture

From returning a lost wallet to creating family giving funds, this conversation reminds us that small, intentional acts of generosity can shape generations.

Legacy doesn’t grow overnight — it’s planted, watered, and nurtured over time. And the best time to start teaching generosity? Today.

Many families believe legacy planning is only for the ultra-wealthy — or that their family is “too complicated” to even try. The truth? Legacy isn’t about perfection. It’s about direction.

In this episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we break down one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — tools for building multi-generational legacy: the Family LLC, and how it works hand-in-hand with trusts to create stewardship, unity, and continuity across generations.

You’ll learn: • What a Family LLC is and why it functions as a “classroom for stewardship” • How trusts and LLCs work together for asset protection, continuity, and clarity • Why governance, operating agreements, and family constitutions reduce conflict • How families use voting rights, education requirements, and distribution policies • Why legacy families pass down responsibility, not just wealth

We also explore real examples of how families design systems that can withstand life’s curveballs — divorce, lawsuits, economic shifts, broken relationships — while staying grounded in shared values, faith, and purpose.

Legacy doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built by design — with intention, structure, and conversation.

What if your legacy isn’t perfect? What if there’s distance, regret, or brokenness in your family story? In this heartfelt episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we explore how forgiveness, vulnerability, and faith can transform family wounds into renewed connection — and why legacy is not for the perfect, but for the courageous.

Drawing from the research of Dr. Dennis Jaffe, author of The 100-Year Family Enterprise, we discuss how families that endure for generations aren’t free from conflict — they simply learn how to repair it. From a 200-year-old Italian family business saved through forgiveness to personal stories of reconciliation, this episode offers hope that even broken branches can grow again.

You’ll learn: • Why 70% of failed family legacies aren’t about money — they’re about communication • How healing conversations rebuild trust after decades of silence • Practical steps to restore relationships (letters, calls, and honest storytelling) • Why vulnerability and humility open the door to forgiveness • How faith and grace create fertile ground for new beginnings

Legacy isn’t about perfection — it’s about redemption. No matter how fractured your story feels, reconciliation can start with one honest step.

Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday — it’s one of the greatest legacy lessons in American history. Before it was turkey, parades, and football, it was a story of survival, faith, community, and shared responsibility.

In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we explore how the first Pilgrims modeled generational vision, gratitude in hardship, and family interdependence — and how those same principles can help families today build stronger, lasting legacies.

You’ll learn: • Why the first Thanksgiving was more about thankfulness than abundance • How vision, sacrifice, and faith built the foundation of a nation • The difference between independence and interdependence in family success • Why gratitude rewires the brain for resilience and unity • How shared responsibility turns family history into family legacy

Gratitude doesn’t ignore hardship — it gives it meaning. This holiday, take a moment to reflect, reconnect, and remember that legacy begins at the table.

You’ll learn: • Why successful families hold annual family summits to reconnect values and vision • How “family resets” and ceremonies of renewal keep generations aligned • What a generational harvest is — and why it builds trust and liquidity • The role of storytelling, archiving, and shared history in long-term unity • Why stewardship, not entitlement, is the foundation of lasting generational wealth

Featuring real examples and insights from family-enterprise research, this episode shows that legacy doesn’t happen by accident — it happens by design.

Every family hopes their inheritance will be a blessing — but too often, it becomes a burden. In this episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we explore why money transfers fast, but meaning doesn’t, and how families can move from simple inheritance to intentional invitation.

You’ll learn: • Why equal isn’t always fair — and how “intentional” planning builds unity • How to shift your family from entitlement to stewardship • The importance of inviting heirs into conversations before the will is read • Real examples of families who turned wealth into mission • Why long-lasting families focus on values, not just value

Backed by research from Dr. Dennis Jaffe, author of The 100-Year Family Enterprise, we discuss practical ways to include your family in legacy planning — from family meetings to mission statements to charitable trusts that connect purpose across generations.

Because true inheritance isn’t money — it’s meaning.

Most families plan for retirement. But what if you could plan for 100 years?

In this episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we explore how families throughout history — from Jonathan Edwards to modern multi-generational enterprises — have created legacies that outlive them. Backed by the research of Dr. Dennis Jaffe, author of The 100-Year Family Enterprise, we uncover the key shifts that separate families who build lasting wealth from those who lose it in just one or two generations.

You’ll learn: • How 100-year family plans create purpose beyond personal success • The difference between ownership and stewardship — and why it changes everything • How the world’s oldest family business has lasted over 1,300 years • Why renewal, not stability, is the secret to longevity • Simple steps you can take today to start building a 100-year family legacy

Generational wealth isn’t just about money — it’s about values, purpose, and motion. Because legacy isn’t what you leave behind; it’s what you put in motion.

For years, financial advisors have followed the same formula — gather your data, disappear for weeks, then return with a “finished plan.” But here’s the problem: clients don’t feel understood. In this episode of the Legacy Life Podcast, we share how we flipped the script — moving from planning for clients to planning with clients.

You’ll learn: • Why most traditional financial plans fail to build confidence or clarity • How our “build-with-you” process helps clients see their real financial picture in real time • The difference between Wall Street math and real-life math (and why it matters) • How transparency, education, and collaboration change everything • Why the best plans are personal, interactive, and grounded in faith and stewardship

When clients understand why their plan works, they’re empowered to take ownership of their future.
