## Resource

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Charles Eckhart, Founder and Managing Partner of Cathexis Group, a family engagement and governance consulting firm based in Santa Barbara, California. Charles advises enterprising families and couples of significant wealth through major transitions, helping them strengthen family governance and build collaborative decision-making practices that endure across generations. He also works closely with financial institutions to train and support advisors in navigating family dynamics with greater clarity and confidence. Drawing on his background as a clinical psychologist and academic instructor, Charles brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective to the intersection of family wealth, legacy, governance, and relationships. Our conversation centers on how families can prepare the rising generation not just to inherit resources, but to develop the resilience and judgment required to steward them well.
