Show notes

We were all told the same story. Work hard, get an education, and the world will reward you. Dr. Eliza Filby joins us to explain why that story has quietly collapsed, and why inheritance, family money, and generational wealth now shape your future more than anything you do on your own. This episode breaks down the truth about the great wealth transfer, why millennials feel like they are failing, why men are angrier, why women are more stressed than ever, why Gen Z sees the world more clearly than we did, and why most people’s lives are shaped by money they never earned and stories they never questioned. If you have ever wondered why life feels harder than it was for your parents, this conversation will change the way you see work, success, family, and the future.
