Ben Martinek and Andy Flattery delve into generational wealth, family dynamics and inheritance, and the inferred responsibility of those who have wealth to act with generosity toward those who are less privileged.
The discussion unravels the power dynamics that shape society. Explore the contrasting responses, from the trad Catholic movement to Catholic homesteaders and the Postliberals, as they navigate the current state of affairs with their unique perspectives.

In addition, discover the true essence of wealth and its impact on society as the conversation delves into the responsibility and obligations of those who possess it.

Ben Martinek and Michael Acosta discuss goal setting in 2023.
"I love goal setting. I have to say, when I first got started setting goals, it's kinda like, uh, do I really need to do this? Is it necessary? And I have to say, after being in business for many years and working with clients for many years, yes! Goal setting is important. At the end of the day, on a practical level, if we wanna be able to look back at our lives and have something to show for our hard work, I really think you can't get away from goal setting."
