Building a Legacy That Holds Families Together with John Knowlton

Some affluent individuals think the greatest legacy they can pass on is their financial capital, when in reality, it is their 'thinking'. Their intellectual, emotional and spiritual capital. Yet as a society and in our family cultures, it can be easy to avoid regular conversations about all forms of wealth. Even worse, silence around money or the 'internal thoughts in our head' can fracture trust as well as relationships for one or more generations. In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with John Knowlton who has built businesses, advised affluent and helped steward more than a billion dollars in client assets. They speak on how to be as well as raise financially responsible individuals of any and all ages, creating unity and living into values instead of entitlement or tragedy. Tune in to hear how to prepare yourself and those around you for the emotional responsibility of wealth because with a solid roadmap, wealth can strengthen relationships, preserve values, and become a force for good for generations to come.-John Knowlton is an entrepreneur, author, pastor, and multi-generational planning advisor who helps families build stronger relationships through intentional wealth stewardship and better thinking. After helping grow a wealth management firm overseeing more than $1 billion in client assets, John now works with owner-families to create governance structures, family councils, and legacy frameworks that preserve both wealth and family unity across generations.
