In this episode…

Wealth protection attorney JJ Childers exposes the dangerous "set it and forget it" mindset that leaves even the most financially successful people vulnerable. What does it really mean to have a bulletproof plan — and are you sure you actually have one?
The statistics alone are sobering. Studies show that 70% of family wealth is lost by the second generation, and 90% by the third. JJ breaks down what separates families like the Rockefellers — who preserved generational wealth — from those like the Vanderbilts, who lost it all. The answer isn't just better documents. It's something far more difficult that most families never talk about.
