Through the Wealth Lens

In this episode of Through the Wealth Lens, I sit down with Gregory Mark Hill, family office advisor, private equity partner and author of Samsara and Its Impact on the Entrepreneur’s Dream, to explore what really allows wealth to endure across generations. Gregory introduces his framework of the three balance sheets—financial capital, relationship capital and inner capital—and explains why successful wealth transfer requires far more than passing along assets. We discuss family values, belonging, leadership, resilience, communication and the importance of preparing the next generation for the responsibilities that come with wealth. One of the central ideas is simple but powerful: what we build within the next generation may ultimately matter as much as what we leave to them.
