What if the biggest barrier to your financial success isn't what you don't know, but what you've unknowingly inherited? In this powerful episode of The New Wealth Wave podcast, Dr. Joaquin Wallace sits down with Dr. Prince Sarpong, Associate Professor of Finance and author of "Portfolio Management for Financial Advisors," to explore how inherited financial narratives shape our money decisions across generations.Dr. Sarpong reveals his own journey through stage two of the seven-stage generational wealth model, sharing how he spent years trapped in financial behaviors that weren't truly his own. "When your narrative is dependent on another individual or group's expectations, you remain stuck without even noticing," he explains. "Your whole financial behavior isn't really about you."This isn't just another conversation about budgeting or investing. Dr. Sarpong exposes the hidden truth about financial education: "More knowing does not necessarily lead to better decisions." He explains why traditional financial literacy often fails and can even cause harm when it ignores the deeper narratives driving our behaviors.💰 What you'll discover:• Why Dr. Sarpong's "aha moment" came from owning his own narrative instead of living by others' expectations• How imposed narratives (not just family teachings) shape your financial genetic code• Why financial literacy alone can do more harm than good without addressing underlying trauma• The difference between intellectual knowledge and emotional drivers in money decisions• How successful families pass down generational wealth vs. generational burden• Why being "gracious to yourself" is essential for financial transformationDr. Sarpong shares profound insights about the intersection of behavioral finance and generational wealth, revealing how even privileged families can pass down harmful narratives to their children. He discusses his upcoming book "Financial Therapy for Men" and explains why meeting people where they are - not where they should be - is crucial for lasting change.Whether you're a financial professional looking to better serve clients or someone ready to break free from inherited financial patterns, this episode provides the framework for understanding how your financial genetic code can be rewritten.To learn more about Dr. Prince Sarpong:https://www.sarpongstrategia.com🔗 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prince-sarpong/ 📚 Check out his books: "Portfolio Management for Financial Advisors" (Volumes 1 & 2): https://amzn.to/47qJ0MR Subscribe to The New Wealth Wave Podcast and grab a copy of Dr. Wallace's bestseller, "Generational Wealth Begins with Generational Knowledge," on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4lsZfw8To learn more about Dr. Joaquin Wallace and the Seven-Stage Generational Wealth Model:🔗 https://www.drjwallace.com#GenerationalWealth #FinancialNarratives #BehavioralFinance #FinancialTherapy #MoneyMindset #WealthBuilding #FinancialLiteracy #InheritedTrauma #FinancialWellness #PersonalFinance #WealthMindset #FinancialEducation #MoneyTrauma #FinancialHealing #GenerationalKnowledge #FinancialGenetics #WealthTransfer #FinancialPsychology #MoneyMatters
