    Multi-Generational Wealth Done Right: A Conversation with Rob Zeeb

    In this insightful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Rod Zeeb, estate planning attorney turned multi-generational wealth strategist, to explore what it really takes to pass down more than just money. Rod shares how a tragic experience early in his career, watching a well-structured estate unravel because the heirs weren’t prepared, transformed his perspective. Today, through The Heritage Institute and The Genacy Group, Rod helps families build cultures of communication, trust, and mentoring so that wealth becomes a blessing rather than a burden. Their conversation moves beyond tax strategies and legal structures to something deeper: family purpose. Rod explains why preparing beneficiaries is just as important as drafting the trust documents, and why philanthropy can be one of the most powerful tools for strengthening family unity across generations. Whether working with a $250,000 estate or a multi-billion-dollar family enterprise, Rod emphasizes that lasting wealth isn’t about the number of zeros, it’s about intentional stewardship and shared values. Key Takeaways: Estate planning isn’t complete until heirs are prepared to responsibly receive and steward wealth.A clearly defined family purpose statement creates alignment and reduces generational conflict around giving and legacy.Philanthropy provides experiential learning opportunities that build communication, accountability, and shared identity.Generosity habits can (and should) start early—often with small, meaningful acts that create lasting impact.Connections: Connect with Rod ZeebLearn more about The Heritage Institute Connect with Rick Peck For more ideas, stories, and practical guidance to help you give smarter and raise more, subscribe to  Charitable Giving News for YouSubscribe to Charitable Giving News for You

    Building What’s Missing: LR Fox on Philanthropy, Foster Youth, and Unlocking Human Potential

    In this powerful episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with LR Fox, founder of Next Global Capital and the Next Foundation, for a candid conversation about what happens when philanthropy moves beyond charity and into systems change. Drawing from his own experience growing up in foster care, Fox shares how his family office and foundation identify major social gaps and either invest in solutions, or build them when none exist. At the heart of the conversation is Oasis Academy, a groundbreaking boarding school and support network designed to identify exceptionally talented youth from foster care, orphanages, refugee camps, and trafficking shelters—and give them a real pathway to thrive. “Every dollar we deploy is a vote for the future we want to build,” Fox explains, reframing philanthropy as an act of belief in human potential. Together, Rick and Fox explore what it looks like to give not just to relieve suffering, but to unlock opportunity and create ripple effects that can transform entire communities. Philanthropy can move faster and farther when it identifies gaps and builds solutions, not just funds existing programs.Youth with the greatest talent are often the most at risk without access to opportunity and support systems.Investing in long‑term pathways (education, mentorship, leadership) creates generational impact, not dependency.Giving rooted in lived experience brings credibility, clarity, and deeper outcomes.
