Why are so many young men losing their sense of purpose—and quietly checking out of life? Writer, speaker, and Therapeutic Consultant Joanna Lilley joins Andrew Taylor to explore the cultural, relational, and technological forces shaping this generation of young men. From shifting ideas of value and identity to the addictive pull of screens and emerging AI, they unpack why it’s become easier to observe life than to fully live it. This conversation names the quiet crisis many young men face—and offers hope, clarity, and a call back to meaningful connection, purpose, and belonging.

Andrew Taylor sits down with Kristin Keffeler for a thoughtful conversation about the growing shift in the trust world—from focusing solely on technical outcomes to prioritizing human wellbeing. Kristin explains why beneficiary wellbeing statutes matter and how they shine a light on the often-overlooked human side of wealth. They unpack common stigmas and struggles faced by adults who grow up in wealth, including identity, relationship, and “money clutter.” Together, they explore why every family has a culture and how families can more intentionally define their values so wealth becomes a resource that supports healthy individuals, stronger relationships, and meaningful impact.
