Podcast: Generation Wealth – Money, Mentorship, and Meaningful Connections

In this episode, Brian welcomes Jason Ma, award-winning Chief Mentor of Next-Gen Leaders and advisor to high-net-worth families and CEOs. Jason talks about how he helps individuals to not only maximize their life-stage goal achievements, but also build greater character and strengthen relationships, via trusted third-party top-notch mentorship. He explains the massive wealth transfer that is occurring from baby boomers to Gen X, Millennials, Gen Zs, and charities, and notes that many younger Next Gens view money as a burden or are unprepared.

He suggests that those receiving the wealth focus on creating meaningful connections and contributing to causes they care about but with wisdom and sound family values, and not simply on accumulating wealth. Additionally, he highlights the importance of intellectual humility for success and emphasizes philanthropy as an important factor in connecting with others. Jason then provides practical advice on how to help families and CEOs build a stronger foundation and achieve greater outcomes and happiness.
