Roots of Resilience: Raising Grounded Children in Families of Wealth

Описание: 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.



Jeff shares reflections shaped by both clinical training and real-world work with multigenerational families. We talk about intentional storytelling, optimal challenge, and early-life parenting choices, and how starting earlier can help families move from reactive regret to proactive stewardship, with more clarity and less friction.
