Are you on the path of creating generational wealth, or perhaps in the throes of navigating a family business transition? If so, this episode holds keys to unlock some of your biggest challenges. I had the pleasure of hosting CFP® Professional and Wealth Advisor, Steve Willems, who expertly guides us through the journey of managing and transitioning generational wealth. Our conversation extends from the use of the three-circle model, designed to surmount communication challenges, to the intriguing case of 'missing billionaires'.

Ever thought of how your children would handle the wealth they inherit? We dive into this fascinating topic, introducing the concept of 'starter funds' to initiate your children's journey into financial awareness without inducing apathy. Steve and I show the ways a proactive approach towards a life starter fund can make a world of difference for your child's perspective on wealth.

Finally, we believe it's not just about passing on the wealth, but the values that accompany it. Our discussions take a deeper look at the importance of instilling financial and personal values in the younger generation, preparing them to handle wealth without feeling burdened. We stress the significance of having intentional, contextual discussions about money, hard work, and planning for the future. This episode is a goldmine of wisdom for anyone interested in generational wealth, family business transitions, and imparting children with financial values and communication skills.
