A son on the brink calls his father from a riverbank and hears an answer he never expected: “I think I have some answers. Trust me.” That moment unlocks a story about real wealth—not assets, but well-being—and the hard, human path to get it back.

Ep. 102: From Money to Meaning: Redefining Wealth as Family Well-Being with James E. Hughes Jr. and Rich Christiansen

Hughes Jr. and Rich Christiansen, we unpack why fortunes dissipate, how culture compounds, and where law and leadership can finally serve the humans between the bank accounts. We dive into the universal proverb of “shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves,” reframing it through entropy and agency: you can’t defy the physics, but you can choose when. That choice hinges on adding energy—welcoming new members as contributors, developing elders who steward...read the full article

Ep. 99: Balancing Sympathetic and Parasympathetic for Leadership Success with Mara Benner
What if your greatest leadership asset isn’t another strategy or skill, but an untapped wellspring of wisdom already within you?
