The Family Governance Protocol

The Family Governance Protocol

In this episode of Escape the Clock, Dan sits down with John to challenge a common parenting belief: that shielding children from financial information protects them. Instead, John argues that a lack of transparency creates unprepared future leaders and weakens family legacy. They discuss why so many parents avoid money communication, how that silence leads to authority without understanding and why success is measured by strong relationships, not just wealth. John introduces the idea of shared governance, treating family wealth like a business where everyone has a role, responsibility and a voice.
