Money & a Good Life

What families pass on, beyond money with Damon Kitney

Every family has stories.

Some get passed down through generations. Others are forgotten over time. But whether we realise it or not, those stories can shape the way we think about money, success, work, family and what's possible for our future.

In this episode of Money & a Good Life, we sit down with Damon Kitney, journalist, author and storyteller, who has spent decades documenting some of Australia's most successful families. Through those conversations, he's discovered that while passing on wealth is important, passing on values, purpose and family stories can be even more powerful.

We talk about:

  • Why family stories matter more than many people realise.
  • The role stories play in shaping beliefs about money, work and success.
  • What Damon has learned from interviewing some of Australia's most successful families.
  • Why passing on values can be harder than passing on wealth.
  • How family history can contribute to a sense of identity and belonging.
  • The challenges families face when navigating wealth, succession and legacy.
  • Why preserving stories may be one of the most important gifts we leave future generations.

Whether your family story spans generations or starts with you, this conversation is a reminder that the things we pass on aren't always financial. Sometimes the stories themselves become part of our legacy.

Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.
