About this episode
Dr. Julia Myers discusses the reasons behind the loss of family wealth across generations and how to instill financial values in children.

Julia shares the medical crisis that abruptly ended her pharmacy career, the mindset shift that followed, and why she now believes legacy is not what you leave to your kids, but what you leave IN them.
