What good is wealth if it divides a family—or disappears in one generation? In this episode of Trust This, attorney Joe Seagle sits down with Thomas Ruggie, founder and CEO of Destiny Family Office, to talk about what it really means to manage wealth wisely. Tom explains how wealthy families plan not just for money—but for the future, relationships, and even personal values. They explore how a family office works (think of it like a personal financial team), the difference between managing wealth for one family vs. many, and how smart planning can help avoid conflict or confusion down the line.
Tom also dives into big topics like investing in unique opportunities (beyond stocks), preparing the next generation to handle wealth, and why mindset matters just as much as money.
