The Conversation No One Has

Your Kids Will Blow Through Everything. Unless.

'Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.' It's not just a saying—it's a pattern. And it's not because families make bad investments. It's because they never have the conversation about values, governance, and purpose. This is that conversation.

Values

Defined and documented

Governance

Clear rules

Purpose

Beyond money

The Pattern

Why Wealthy Families Fall Apart

It's not the investments. It's not the economy. Study after study shows the same thing: families lose wealth because they never talked about what the money is for. No shared values. No decision-making process. No purpose beyond “more.”

Values

What matters to this family? What's non-negotiable?

Governance

How do we make decisions? Who has a say? How do we resolve conflict?

Purpose

Why are we building this? What's it all for?

01Family Constitution

Put It In Writing (Or Watch It Fall Apart)

Your family's values, rules, and purpose—documented in a way that can't be argued about later. Not a suggestion. Not a vibe. A constitution.

Step 01

Name What Matters

What's non-negotiable for this family? Work, education, giving back, how we treat each other? Write it down before someone tests it.

Step 02

Set the Rules

How do we make decisions when we disagree? Who gets a vote? When do we meet? The families that last have answers. The rest fight.

Step 03

Make It Official

A document you can sign, share, and reference. Something your grandkids can read. This is how dynasties are built.

02Family Mission

What's All This Money Actually For?

If you can't answer that question in a sentence, neither can your kids. A mission statement isn't corporate nonsense—it's the answer to 'why are we doing this?' that your family needs.

Step 01

Answer the Hard Questions

Where did we come from? What do we stand for? What do we want our legacy to be? The questions you've been putting off.

Step 02

Find the Right Words

We help you turn your answers into a mission statement that's actually memorable. Not jargon. Not buzzwords. Your family, in a sentence.

Step 03

Give Everyone the Answer

A mission statement only works if everyone knows it. Print it. Frame it. Reference it when decisions get hard.

03Family Crest

Something to Rally Around

The Rockefellers have one. The Rothschilds have one. A family crest isn't vanity—it's identity. A symbol your grandchildren will recognize as theirs.

Step 01

Pick What Represents You

Colors that mean something. Symbols from your heritage. Images that capture your values. Not random—deliberate.

Step 02

Watch It Come Together

We generate designs based on your selections. Refine until it feels like yours. This isn't clip art—it's heraldry.

Step 03

Tell the Story

Every element has meaning. We document it so future generations understand why the lion, why the blue, why any of it matters.

04Why This Matters

The Difference Between Wealthy Families That Last and the Ones That Don't

Everyone's on the Same Page

When everyone knows the values and the rules, family meetings aren't fights. They're decisions.

Conflicts Have Answers

Who gets to vote on major purchases? How do we handle loans to family members? You'll have answers before the questions come up.

Decisions Get Easier

Should we fund that startup? Donate to that cause? Buy that property? When values are clear, decisions almost make themselves.

Kids Who Get It

The difference between heirs who blow it all and heirs who build on it? They understood what it was for.

A Story That Travels

Your great-grandchildren will know where they came from. Not everyone can say that.

More Than Money

Money's easy to spend. Identity isn't. Give them something they can't blow through.
