Together, Matt and John unpack the role of family governance, shared values, inheritance planning, decision-making, and the structures that help wealth endure across generations.They discuss why money alone is rarely enough, how families can build stronger systems around capital, what it means to be a force for good over time, and why raising the next generation well may be one of the most overlooked parts of legacy planning.This is a conversation about more than wealth. It is about stewardship, family, purpose, and the kind of structure required to make capital serve something bigger than the present moment.If you are interested in generational wealth, family governance, inheritance planning, legacy, stewardship, or building wealth with greater intention, this episode will give you a deeper framework for thinking about what lasts.📌 Subscribe to our Youtube for new episodes:    / @ChristianAltsTV 📌 Join the ChristianAlts newsletter: https://newsletter.christianalts.com/📌 Follow on LinkedIn for investing insights:   / matthewbjohns   DISCLAIMER: This video represents the views and opinions of it's guest and does not reflect the views and opinions of HoneyHive Capital Partners LLC.
