How We Built It: The Carbary Legacy

by James and Lisa Carbary

Business

The “third-generation rule” tells us that 70% of affluent families will have lost their wealth by the third generation. As much as we want our grandkids to fall into the 30% of that statistic, there’s something we want even more…Way more important than financial wealth, we want our grandkids to inherit a legacy of faith and love. This podcast was born because we want our grandkids to hear the journey that their grandma and I took to build that legacy.
