Welcome to Building Generational Wealth—a podcast series for the everyday person. Whether you’re just starting your financial journey or rewriting your money story, this space is for you. Women and men. Millennials and Boomers. Gen X and Gen Z. Every race, background, and identity. Because financial literacy should be inclusive, accessible, and empowering for all.

We’re facing one of the most financially unstable times in modern history. Debt is soaring, inflation is biting, and wages aren’t keeping pace. Millennials hold just 4.6% of U.S. wealth. Gen Z is stepping into adulthood burdened by debt and locked out of homeownership. Meanwhile, $84 trillion is set to change hands in the largest wealth transfer ever. The question is: Will you be ready to receive, grow, and protect it—or be left behind? This is your moment to rise.

Through honest conversations with leading financial minds, we’ll show you how to build wealth patiently, intentionally, and wisely. It’s not about chasing trends—it’s about creating lasting security. Because if you don’t take care of your money, your money won’t take care of you.
