Ep. 40: You Can’t Have a Trust without Trust - And Most Families Never Figure That Out
Raising money-smart kids starts with one honest conversation — and Dr. Julia Myers gives you the exact words to say tonight.
In Part Two of our conversation, Dr. Julia Myers walks through the complete three-step framework she uses with high-net-worth families: a money patterns assessment, a family vision experience that leads to your Family Constitution, and the Discernment Quadrant — a framework that reveals not just how your family spends and saves, but what’s driving every financial decision you make. We dig into the belief backpack you inherited from your parents, how to move from money lectures to money stories, and what “abundant consumption” actually looks like in a family that has built real wealth.
Dr. Julia Myers is a Doctor of Pharmacy with an MBA, a Business Insider feature, a mom of five, and the founder of the Generational Wisdom Framework. She recently delivered her TEDx talk at TEDxLakeshoreDrive on January 30th to a standing ovation.
Her mission: change the statistic that only one in four parents feels confident their kids can handle what’s coming in adulthood.
