In this episode, Aden and David explore the critical issue of entitlement within affluent families.

They are joined by wealth advisers John Ryan and Milena Konig to unpack the definition of entitlement, how it has evolved across generations, and the key role of family values and storytelling in developing a stewardship rather than an entitlement mindset.
