Why Most Families Lose Their Wealth | John Knowlton

Why do so many families build wealth, only to lose it a generation later?

Matt Johns sits down with John Knowlton to explore the real reason generational wealth so often disappears, and why the problem usually goes far deeper than investing.

John brings a rare mix of experience to the conversation. He has served as a pastor, built three registered investment advisory firms, and spent years thinking about leadership, stewardship, family systems, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts. Together, Matt and John unpack the role of family governance, shared values, inheritance planning, decision-making, and the structures that help wealth endure across generations.

They discuss why money alone is rarely enough, how families can build stronger systems around capital, what it means to be a force for good over time, and why raising the next generation well may be one of the most overlooked parts of legacy planning.

This is a conversation about more than wealth. It is about stewardship, family, purpose, and the kind of structure required to make capital serve something bigger than the present moment.

If you are interested in generational wealth, family governance, inheritance planning, legacy, stewardship, or building wealth with greater intention, this episode will give you a deeper framework for thinking about what lasts.
