Episode notes
Three Eras Of Wealth Management
- Wealth 1.0 focused almost entirely on asset management and ignored family dynamics and research.
- Wealth 2.0 added psychology and governance but became fear-driven, prompting the need for Wealth 3.0's optimism and rigor.
Professionalize Family Wealth Advising
- The field lacks rigorous education, credentialing, and high-net-worth–specific training.
- Jim calls for comprehensive programs and longitudinal research to replace myths and weak data.
Myths Travel Faster Than Truth
- Popular statistics about wealth (e.g., lottery bankruptcies) are often false or misattributed.
- Negative, sensational claims spread fast while corrections lag, distorting advice to families.
