What is money actually for? On this episode of Women's Money Wisdom, Melissa Joy, CFP®, welcomes Shanna Due, CFP®, founder of Due Financial and editor of the book series More Than Money and Even More Than Money, back to the podcast to talk about her newest project. Shanna walks through how a group of advisors turned an idea into a traditionally published book, why the follow-up book needed to go further than the first, and how the five-purposes framework, living, changing, dreaming, giving, and enduring, reframes money as a tool for a meaningful life rather than an end in itself.The conversation also digs into how readers can use the book to find and vet a financial advisor, from understanding the alphabet soup of credentials to knowing what questions to ask and what a real advisor relationship looks like over time. Melissa and Shanna talk candidly about permission to spend versus permission to save, giving during your lifetime, and why finding an advisor you genuinely like and trust matters just as much as their credentials. All proceeds from the book benefit Third Decade, a nonprofit that provides long-term financial coaching to people rebuilding their financial lives.What You'll LearnHow a group of financial advisors turned an idea into a traditionally published book, twiceWhy Even More Than Money was built around a five-purposes framework: living, changing, dreaming, giving, and enduringThe difference between a must-save mindset and giving yourself permission to spendWhy giving during your lifetime can be as meaningful as giving through an estateHow to decode financial advisor credentials and know what questions to ask before hiring oneWhat a real financial advisor relationship looks like, from one-time projects to ongoing partnershipsWhy liking and trusting your advisor matters as much as their technical expertiseHow the book's proceeds support Third Decade, a nonprofit providing long-term financial coachingThe previous presentation by PEARL PLANNING was intended for general information purposes only.

In this episode of The Family Biz Show, family business consultant Michael Palumbos is joined by Shawn Barberis of More Than Money 360 to explore how high-net-worth families can protect and grow their family wealth by focusing on communication, values, and legacy—not just dollars. Together, they unpack proven strategies to strengthen generational continuity, including the five pillars of success and six laws of family advancement. 1. Shawn's Journey & "More Than Money" (02:23–08:18) Shawn shares why he left law to launch a firm focused on the relational and cultural side of legacy. He realized families needed more than documents—they needed systems to protect family wealth through values, communication, and structure. 2. Perception vs. Reality of Risk (14:53–17:00) Most families fear market loss, but data shows 85% of wealth loss stems from broken trust and poor communication. Shawn highlights why this mindset shift is crucial to family legacy. 3. The Engagement Process (19:10–21:05) A 3-step approach: educate the family, define the legacy goal, and build a values-based plan. Legacy is built through process—not a single event. 4. Five Pillars of Generational Success (23:10–27:26) The foundation of enduring family wealth: communication, core values, family legacy, philanthropy, and governance—all working together to sustain family purpose and identity. 5. Six Laws of Family Advancement (29:27–35:42) From gratitude over entitlement to rising gen empowerment and transparent meetings, Shawn shares six laws that help families sustain wealth and legacy long term. 6. System, Process & the MTM Meter (37:29–41:19) Shawn introduces the More Than Money Meter—a tool that tracks how prepared and satisfied families are across the five pillars. As he says, "You can't improve what you don't measure." Tangible Takeaways for Leaders of Family Businesses Realize that the biggest threat to your family's lasting wealth is likely not the markets — it's breakdown in communication, trust and shared purpose. Use a process, not just an event: Begin with the end in mind, build curriculum, set outcome criteria. Prioritize the rising generation early: Give them voice, let them lead in meaningful ways, particularly in areas like impact investing or philanthropy. Use measurement: As you would for a business strategic plan or financial plan, set baseline, track progress in communication, values, legacy and governance. Consider your advisor ecosystem: One "quarterback" advisor who understands the family, across generations, often provides better continuity than multiple siloed advisors.
In this episode of More Than Money, Jess Rainer (Art's brother) shares powerful stories of how generosity can change lives in unexpected ways.

A Story That Changes the Way You See Wealth When Bruce and I sat down with Michael Cole for The Money Advantage Podcast, the conversation didn't just scratch the surface of wealth management—it went straight to the heart of what wealth really means. Here's a man who has advised families with an average net worth of more than $500 million, co-founded the largest network of centimillionaires in the U.S., and written the bestselling book More Than Money. https://www.youtube.com/live/DTWacmQHhSU And yet, when we asked him about retirement, he smiled and said, “I don't plan on retiring. I'm finally doing the work that's closest to my life purpose.” That one statement reframed everything. Because if someone with Michael Cole's track record and access to the ultra-wealthy believes that life purpose—not just money—is the real destination, then we all have something to learn. A Story That Changes the Way You See WealthWhy This Matters to YouMichael Cole's Journey to the Top of Wealth ManagementWealth Is More Than Money – The Six Forms of CapitalThe Impact of Wealth – Purpose Over PossessionsBuilding a Culture That Outlasts YouWhat the Ultra-Wealthy Invest in Right NowOvercoming Cultural Narratives About WealthWhat Michael Cole Teaches Us About WealthBook A Strategy Call Why This Matters to You Whether you're just starting to build wealth, sitting on a successful business, or thinking about how to transfer assets to the next generation, the insights from Michael Cole matter to you. Here's why: Michael has spent decades inside family offices, helping entrepreneurs, centimillionaires, and billionaires not only grow their capital but also grow their impact. He's seen firsthand what works—and what fails—when it comes to preserving wealth and legacy. In this article, Bruce and I want to unpack the conversation we had with Michael Cole so you can walk away with: A clear understanding of why wealth is more than money How to think about the impact of wealth on your family and community Practical insights into what the ultra-wealthy are investing in right now How to create a family culture that outlives you Most importantly, you'll see how Michael Cole's perspective can empower you to stop chasing money as the end goal and start building a legacy that truly matters. Michael Cole's Journey to the Top of Wealth Management Michael's resume reads like a roadmap of the private wealth industry: Merrill Interest Trust Company, Wells Fargo's Abbott Downing, Ascent Private Capital Management, and Crescent Capital Management. At each stage, he wasn't just managing billions in assets—he was rethinking what it means to be a steward of wealth. And eventually, he co-founded R360, a peer-to-peer community of centimillionaires and billionaires built on one core belief: Wealth is more than money. That perspective didn't just come from financial spreadsheets. It came from listening. Michael Cole is the kind of leader who pauses before he answers, considers both sides, and responds with wisdom. That's why Bruce said during the episode, “Talking with you is like talking to my little brother. You think deeply, you listen, and you answer with both intellect and empathy.” Wealth Is More Than Money – The Six Forms of Capital Michael Cole teaches that wealth stewardship requires diversification beyond just financial assets.
