Reece sits down with John Steiger of Wealth Planning Resources to talk about a problem a lot of builders avoid until it gets urgent: how to build real wealth outside the business before it is time to step away. For owners thinking about succession, retirement, or simply getting their financial house in order, this conversation is a practical look at what needs to happen long before an exit is on the table.

They cover grooming the next generation, why business development matters more than most owners realize, how phantom ownership can prepare future leaders, and why buying trucks just to save on taxes is not the same as building wealth. This episode will help builders think more clearly about profit, assets, succession, and what it takes to create options later.
