Summary
What if the greatest threat to generational wealth isn’t bad investing—but the inability to think beyond the next liquidity event? In this episode, I sit down with Eric Becker, Founder and Chairman of Cresset, to discuss why he built a modern multi-family office after decades as an entrepreneur and investor. Eric explains the structural conflicts inside traditional wealth management, why most ultra-high-net-worth families lack true family office infrastructure, and how long-term thinking changes the way businesses, portfolios, and families compound over generations. We also explore governance, tax-aware investing, succession planning, and lessons from companies that have endured for centuries.
