Beyond Hope and Control: The Third Path to Lasting Legacy

This podcast episode discusses how families pass money, meaning and responsibility from one generation to the next. It examines why two common approaches—handing wealth over and hoping, or controlling it from the grave—often fail, and presents a third path based on intentional legacy planning.
