FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
A candid dad-daughter podcast where all generations weigh in to discuss how wealth is actually a three-sided prism - character, intellect and finance.
Chris Raper (Boomer) sits down with daughter Brittany (Gen Z) & guests to ask the questions you can't Google about family & money. Join us around the table as though this were the end of a long dinner with trusted loved ones - when the good wine comes out, along with the good conversation. Wisdom is traded, perspectives are challenged & honest thoughts confessed. Let's get into. All ages welcome.
EP. #3 YOUNG & SCRAPPY: Mastering the Basics
Our intermittent series YOUNG & SCRAPPY is made for 25-35 years old who want to set themselves up for success financially. We recognize that not everyone has a Financial Advisor for a dad. When you are starting out, the reality is you are largely relying on your own decision making. Chris has learned some things over the years about what young people can do with their money habits to best serve them throughout life. Brittany has benefited, but also has more questions. Consider this an open family discussion and you are part of the family. If you didn't have a financial-advocate-mentor-friend-in-your-court, now you do. In this one: spend less than you make, paying yourself first, anti-budgeting, good debt vs bad debt, the magic of compound interest, owner vs lender, and finally how to get started investing.
EP #2: GIVING with Jason Roberts
Just in time for the Holiday season, we sit down for a humbling discussion about being generous. In Canada right now, only about 18% of us report giving in our tax filings (The Giving Report, 2023). In 1990, that number was 29.5%. Researchers have even given this staggering statistic a moniker, “the Giving Gap”. With an incredibly unique story, Jason provides valuable insights about how we teach our children to be generous and why it matters. Chris gets uncomfortable (as usual!) reflecting back on raising his kids. Brittany is given new hope for her fellow young people.
EP #1: WELL-BEING with Dr. Tanis Farish
Who else watched the blue zone documentary? For us, it was an incredible reality check that we can gather money, build relationships, achieve career success, and have a family, but none of that matters if we aren’t able (or even around!) to enjoy it. Health and well-being is probably every parent’s ultimate wish for their kids at the end of the day. And yet, as Chris (Boomer) said before recording this episode, “what does wellness even mean??” We’ve brought on Dr. Tanis Farish to have a deep discussion on this question. Brittany (Gen Z) is elated to get her dad in the room for this eye-opening conversation. If your family gets heated when talking about mental health, exercise, and wellness – this is a good listen for all ages.
THE PILOT: STARTING WITH OUR FAMILY
To start the podcast, we wanted to check in with our own family. In this pilot, we sit down with Ann and Harold - Chris's 88 and 92 year-old parents, aka Brittany's Grammy and Grandad. In a candid discussion between widespread generations, we unpack the experiences in our family and in our world today. Brittany had some humbling thoughts on how hard work was taught in our house, Harold highlighted some key differences on the economy now compared to his day, Ann had some wonderful insights on the unspeakable value of relationship and Chris tried to shine some light on how things will change for the young people of today.
