Roots of Resilience: Raising Grounded Children in Families of Wealth

About this episode

Jeff Savlov discusses how families of wealth can foster resilience and responsibility in their children through effective management of family dynamics.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jeff Savlov, Founder of Blum & Savlov, LLP. For over 25 years, Jeff has helped family businesses, high-net-worth families, and their advisors balance family dynamics with the management of shared assets across generations. Drawing from his experience in his own family’s business, Jeff brings a grounded, common-sense perspective on how families can reduce conflict before it escalates and build healthier patterns that last. Our conversation focuses on what gets passed down beyond money: the spoken and unspoken family narratives that shape responsibility, resilience, identity, and ultimately, stewardship.
