But that is only half the picture. In this snippet featuring Michael G Donkor, we break down why the real inheritance is not the asset itself, but the skillset and knowledge that let the next generation actually use it.We get into why generational wealth is built slowly, not overnight and why patience and compounding matter more than the rush to "make it now." We also talk through what actually counts as generational wealth, from stocks and property to a family business or even crypto and why none of it lasts without the know-how to manage it.The heart of the conversation lands on a simple idea: It is one thing to own the farm, it is another thing to be a farmer. Pass down the asset without the skill and it gets lost. Pass down the knowledge, and each generation can build on what came before. If you care about building real, lasting wealth for your family and your community, this one is for you.What we cover:Why generational wealth is built over time, not created overnightThe role of patience and compounding in long term wealthHow generational wealth can be built and lost across generationsWhether any asset class (property, stocks, business, crypto) can carry wealth forwardWhy knowledge and skillset matter more than the asset itselfPassing down information the next generation can actually leverageSpecial thanks to our PartnersSend money to your loved ones.
