  • Why We're Giving Our Kids Their Inheritance Now (Not After We Die)
    Apr 17 2026

    Most successful entrepreneurs plan to leave their kids a life-changing inheritance. The problem? By the time the money arrives, their kids are in their 50s — and the window to actually change their lives has long passed. In this episode, we dig into the psychology of wealth transfer, why giving a "living inheritance" beats waiting until death, and how to raise kids who are actually ready to handle it.

    This is about more than inheritance. It's about building a real legacy.

    We get into:
    - Why most people receive inheritance too late in life
    - How giving money too early can help (if done right)
    - The balance between teaching and supporting your kids
    - Why experiences might matter more than dollars
    - How to raise kids who are capable, confident, and financially smart

    At the end of the day, this isn't about money. It's about who your kids become.

    If you're building wealth and thinking about your family's future, this is a conversation you need to hear.

    If this episode helps you, share it with someone who needs it.

Mark makes a challenge that might just change how you spend your weekend. Tim breaks down how putting real deadlines on your dreams is the only way they actually happen.

    This isn't about quitting work. It's about building a life good enough that you're already living it.
