It’s time to talk about what generational wealth really means — beyond money, inheritance, and last names. In this episode of the Impel Forward Podcast, we dig into the tension between building a legacy and protecting it: Are we teaching the next generation how to earn, or are we accidentally creating entitlement? Is “what’s mine is mine” selfish… or is it a boundary?

We break down: • The difference between wealth, access, and entitlement • Why some kids confuse support with being owed something • The mindset gap between building wealth and inheriting it • How jealousy and comparison are destroying progress • How to build legacy that lasts longer than money

This is the conversation families need — parents, kids, entrepreneurs, anybody fighting to break cycles. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just the truth about what it takes to Impel Forward into the future.
