Welcome to the Family Dynasty Podcast
Today, I’m joined by two of my daughters, Alaina and Elli, for what may be my favorite conversation yet — a discussion about Social Wealth — the measure of our relationships outside the family.
So much of family life rightly focuses inward — cultivating faith, health, wisdom, and unity at home. But in this episode, we explore how flourishing families turn outward — extending hospitality, generosity, and connection to the wider world.
We talk about the downfall of dynasties that closed in on themselves, neglecting the cultivation of meaningful relationships.
We talk about the strength that comes when families network courageously — asking for help when needed, and giving freely when they can.
We talk about what it means to be a generous family — one that builds bridges.
Elli, with her gift for turning grand ideas into daily practice, helps us bring these concepts down to earth.
She draws a fascinating parallel between diversifying a financial portfolio and diversifying our social capital — how wise families invest in people, not just projects.
We share historical examples of families who either failed or flourished in this area — and why the difference often came down to their willingness to serve and connect beyond their own circle.
And as we discuss, something beautiful emerges — the picture of what happens when generous families come together. Sparks fly. Fireworks happen.
Because social wealth isn’t just about having friends — it’s about being a blessing to others, together as a family.
So let’s dive in — this is “Social Wealth: Generosity Beyond the Family.”
