    Why the Family Capital Podcast

    We started the Family Capital Podcast because we wanted a place to explore the bigger questions surrounding wealth that extend far beyond investment returns and financial planning. In this episode, we share how our experience serving families with multi-generational wealth led us to focus on building lasting legacies through thoughtful planning, family governance, and the intentional transfer of financial, relational, spiritual, and intellectual capital. We also explain who this podcast is for—from those passing wealth to the next generation, to those inheriting it, to families navigating the family office world—and share our vision for combining practical financial strategies, expert interviews, and real-life stories to help families steward every form of capital for generations to come.

    What Is a Family Office—and Do You Need One?

    In this episode of the Family Capital Podcast, Jared Machin and Justin Brownlee unpack what a family office is, when creating one might make sense, and what families at every level of wealth can learn from J.P. Morgan’s 2026 Global Family Office Report. They explore how some of the world’s wealthiest families allocate investments, manage risk, structure their family offices, and approach wealth preservation. But the biggest takeaway goes beyond investment returns: successful multigenerational wealth requires families to prioritize values, governance, legacy, and preparing the next generation—not simply managing financial assets.
