About this listen
Why do 70 percent of wealth-transition plans fail? This is the question that Emily Griffiths-Hamilton sets out to answer in Build Your Family Bank, an audiobook that looks closely at the core causes of wealth erosion and failed transition plans and offers a set of strategies for building successful wealth-transition plans that will benefit many generations.
Emily Griffiths-Hamilton is a chartered accountant and conflict resolution coach who brings three generations of experience to the subject of succession and wealth-transition planning. Her maternal grandfather, veterinarian Dr. William Ballard, was one of North America's greatest dynamic wealth creators. Her father, Frank A. Griffiths, FCA, built a highly successful sports and media empire. Griffiths-Hamilton herself has been the coowner of a of a National Hockey League team, the Vancouver Canucks; a National Basketball Association franchise, the Vancouver Grizzlies; and a state-of-the-art arena.
Griffiths-Hamilton's professional training, expertise, and unique firsthand experience have given her a deep understanding of the benefits of clear, considered succession planning. In this audiobook, you'll learn how to create your own family bank, beginning with the solid foundation of your family's shared values and vision. Griffiths-Hamilton explains how you can assess all of your family's assets - human, intellectual, and financial - and prepare succeeding generations to steward those assets successfully. As you implement the stages she sets out, you'll be crafting a succession and wealth-transition plan that truly meets the needs of your family. The benefits of building a family bank, as this audiobook clearly shows, will go far beyond any financial gifts you may leave your successors.

America's elite have been using cash value life insurance to stockpile wealth for centuries. Used correctly, it is better described as a personal bank on steroids, and a financial bunker for tough times. To be clear, this audiobook is not about the typical garbage peddled by most insurance agents. Rather, an alternative to the risky investment strategies taught by Wall Street. It details a highly efficient form of cash value life insurance designed to supercharge your savings and stockpile wealth.

When it comes to estate planning and the effective transfer of wealth, most discussions involving the terms wealth and money use those terms interchangeably. Although the two are not the same, most estate planners today do not even broach this concept with their clients or include the less-tangible aspects of wealth as they draft an estate plan. They simply develop an estate plan that prepares the family's financial assets to be dumped, divided, deferred, and dissipated among the members of the next generation.

And what do most people do? They follow the same strategies of the 90 percent of the population that controls 10 percent of the wealth! Ninety percent of millionaires and billionaires became wealthy through real estate. This is a time-tested, proven way to become wealthy.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Michael Ellsberg and Bryan Franklin think you've been fed a lie: that if you save for decades and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily over decades, allowing 20 to 30 years of secure, peaceful retirement. This might have been true at some point in the last century, but it is not true any longer. If you want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, the authors argue that you must invest in the most powerful source of wealth you'll ever know: your own earning power.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

American retirees face a looming crisis. We are living longer than ever before, and most experts predict a dramatic rise in tax rates within the next 10 years. The hard truth is that no matter how much you save, you are likely to outlive your money or watch it be taxed into oblivion.

Meaningful insights and encouragement from someone who’s been there.
This book was both eye-opening and encouraging. Emily clearly and succinctly discusses the challenges with conventional wealth-transfer (something very few people know or discuss), and then she puts together a detailed plan of action covering the how, the why, and the who for each of us to begin building or own family bank. I give this book a “10” and encourage anyone who intends to leave behind more than just money to future generations to download and listen to what Emily has to say.

Convincing data. Clear concepts. Few specifics
Like the family bank concept, which was well explained in terms of family relationship to the money and each other. Would have liked to have some specific examples of how inherited wealth can be structured for shared ownership and control.

It felt like chapters were missing
I listened with much anticipation to learn about the family bank but was disappointed to learn very little about a family bank from this book. The author presented an excellent case why family succession planning fails and how a family bank is a better plan for many reasons which was great. But after listening to this book I still don’t really know what a family bank is. Is it just idea or an actual structure or entity? How do I setup a family bank? Who owns the family bank? How does the family bank operate? Besides the 1st generation putting in a large sum and interest on the loans what are other mechanisms to add funds to the family bank to keep it growing? How does ownership of the family bank move to the 2nd and 3rd generation? How to protect the family bank? The author hints that she will cover these topics but never really does. I enjoyed the pace, the stories, and the presentation but it felt like I was missing chapters. If the author is going to write a follow up, I would still like to learn how to create and operate a family bank.

Not Worth A Credit
I gave it a shot and wanted it to be good. I even listened to the whole thing hoping there would be anything at all even remotely actionable. The author reads her own book and makes the base case for why that shouldn't happen. She has a severe lisp and it detracts from anything she is trying to say, which is very little. She keeps talking about a family bank (while defending her family from something that apparently happened in the Canadian media), but she never tells you what that is or any kind of best practices for organization. There are a couple decent points about making sure everyone earns a voice and that's it.

Okay book but missing actual instructions
Some good content but my hopes were much higher for actual instructions or tips for actually setting up a family bank. She does not explain how her family bank works. My search for a good book fully explaining the “family bank” and giving hard and fast advice continues.
