Wealth transfer fails without human capital. The next generation doesn't need your money. They need what built it. Academy and coaching from The Wealth Trap.
You lie awake with a fear you can't quite say out loud: that your success might be the thing that ruins your kids. Not because you did anything wrong — but because comfort has quietly replaced the hunger, the struggle, the necessity that made you who you are. Your children have every advantage, and somehow that's the problem.
The data backs up what your gut already knows. Three generations, from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves, is all it usually takes. But this isn't fate. It's simply what happens when wealth grows and meaning doesn't. The families who break this cycle are the ones who figure out how to pair prosperity with purpose. That's what we help you do.
Answer a few short questions and discover your family's Human Capital score across all three pillars — Meaning, Alignment, and Activation.
Free. Five minutes. Instant results.
Below are two paths, depending on where you are and what kind of support would be most valuable.
The NextGen Builders Academy is an online, video-based platform hosted by Connor Boyack. Every lesson is built around one question: How do I help my child become a builder? Whether your children's ages, we meet your family where they are.
Ages 5–8 — Seedlings: Values, ownership, and identity through hands-on family habits.
Ages 9–12 — Builders: Money decisions, first ventures, and real-world problem solving.
Ages 13–17 — Apprentices: Investment thinking, entrepreneurial skills, and character development.
Ages 18–25 — Launchers: Capital stewardship, venture building, and multigenerational leadership.
NextGen Builders Family Coaching is a high-touch, personalized consulting engagement designed to help values-aligned, ultra-high-net-worth families assess where they stand today, define where they want to be, and build a practical implementation plan to close that gap.
A detailed onboarding experience helps us learn about your family and adapt to your needs.
A half-day in-person kickoff, followed with virtual monthly engagements, provide ongoing support.
Our coaching adjusts as your kids, helping you stay focused on raising builders.
Our Academy and Coaching programs help you put the ideas from The Wealth Trap into action so you can raise builders, not beneficiaries.

Learn about The Wealth Trap
I'll be honest: when I read this, I found myself thinking, This is exactly what families need.
The clarity. The practicality. The unflinching honesty about what's really at stake. Connor and Taylor understand that you can't lecture your children into becoming builders. You can't design a trust document that produces character. You have to create the conditions — the experiences, the struggles, the opportunities — that forge it. And this book shows you how."

Most wealth advisors focus on protecting your financial capital. We focus on building your human capital — the character, capability, and purpose that no trust document can manufacture and no inheritance can replace. Our framework is built on three pillars.
Pillar 1 — Meaning
Reclaiming Agency in an Age of Abundance
Why comfort corrodes capability, how wealth magnifies whatever character it flows through, and what it actually takes to cultivate purpose when necessity disappears.
Pillar 2 — Alignment
Building a Family System of Shared Direction
How to shift from preservation to creation, define your family's directional purpose, and build a living operating system that compounds meaning across generations.
Pillar 3 — Activation
Designing Lives That Compound Meaning
The art of joyful struggle, running experiments with real feedback loops, making self-actualization contagious within your family, and treating every succession as a new founding moment.
We built a successful business over 20 years, but we had no framework for passing on the mindset behind it. NextGen Builders gave us that. Our son is 16 now and thinks completely differently about money, work, and responsibility. That shift didn't happen by accident.
