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.
