    Compounding Efforts into Empire | Brad Stafford

    Wealth or character is a false dichotomy in raising successful children. Brad Stafford, father of eight and full-time homeschooler, has turned his household into a working family business, where each child is trained into a real skill rather than handed a chore. He joins me to break down how he assigns responsibility by age and interest, why he refuses to teach his kids to code, and how he's building a network his children will inherit before he's gone. Find Brad here on X. The Stafford's Business. Try these next: Everybody Else Builds Wealth Together. Why Don't Christians?

    Keeping Land in Your Family for 250 Years | Jake Oliver

    Bonus lessons + a library of insights for legacy minded families: https://dynastus.com/ytletters Jake Oliver's family has held the same land in Maine since 1782. Seven generations, through a war wound, a house fire, and a housing boom that nearly swallowed the land next door. In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to keep land in a family for that long: the trust structure Jake built for his own daughters, why his father spent decades quietly buying back parcels that had been sold off, and why Jake believes legacy is "more caught than taught."

    Everybody Else Builds Wealth Together. Why Don't Christians? (Silas Mähner)

    Bonus lessons + a library of insights for legacy minded families: https://dynastus.com/ytletters Most religious and ethnic groups practice ingroup preference. They hire internally, buy and sell to each other (with special pricing), and protect their own. Silas Mähner, the man behind Catholic Founders, makes the case for why Christians should be building together, what faith actually does to a business long term, and how to pass wealth and values to the next generation without losing either.
