Legacy Strategies for the $15–50M Entrepreneur with Steven Bowles
from Design Your Legacy - Life Lessons · host Angelina Carleton
Successful entrepreneurs and investors are courageous heroes—having built significant wealth for themselves and those that lean on them, yet they still face the risks of losing it with tax erosion, lack of liquidity or worse, forced asset or fire sales. Further, things that aren't written down tend to not be well defined. And when will they declare their wishes to others - while alive or during the reading of the will?In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Steven Bowles, founder of Catalyst Advisory and a former family office advisor, about translating wealth strategies into practical, accessible solutions. We speak about how the ultra-wealthy use tools like strategically designed life insurance, private banking concepts, and family governance systems to protect and grow wealth for 100+ years.
