Family, Faith, And Core Values - E1070 - CFC

Most investors obsess over returns, tax strategy, and estate planning… But what if the most critical legacy you leave behind isn’t financial? In today’s episode of Cashflow Connections, I sat down with Brett Swarts—best-selling author, tax strategist, and host of the Capital Gains Tax Solutions podcast—to explore something far deeper: The mission, vision, and values that should guide your family’s wealth. This isn’t a conversation about deferred sales trusts (though we touch on it). It’s about how legacy-focused families can avoid the “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” curse by being intentional stewards of both wealth and wisdom. Inside the episode, Brett shares: The 5 core values his family lives by How to hold a “family board meeting” that strengthens generational bonds Why entitlement destroys legacy and the mindset shift that prevents it The exact questions he asks his kids every single day How to pass on purpose, not just property If you have kids, plan to have kids, or care about what your wealth truly means...this episode is a must-listen.
