Over the next 25 years, New Zealand will undergo the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in its history between $1 trillion and $1.6 trillion in assets moving from baby boomers to their kids and grandkids.

But here's the problem: as lawyer Andrew Clements puts it, we're approaching this tsunami with "all the sophistication of a kids' game of pin the tail on a donkey."

In this conversation, Andrew breaks down:

- Why 90% of family wealth is lost by the third generation (and how to beat those odds)

- The three types of kids: rising, entitled, and disempowered (and which ones you're raising)

- Why most Kiwis don't have wills (and what happens when you die without one)

- The coming crisis in farming and family businesses as owners hit retirement

- How ultra-wealthy families stay wealthy for generations (and what we can learn)

- Why trusts are still essential tools, not just fashion accessories

- The family conversations most Kiwis are too scared to have

If you're a business owner, parent, or anyone with assets to pass on, this episode could save your family from becoming another wealth transfer disaster story.
