Charting The Course

This week, Tyler and Dexter begin a conversation centered around the idea of stewarding wealth that has been passed down from a previous generation. As we began to discuss the idea of this series, we identified four families who would provide a beneficial and responsible approach to this topic. We sit down with individuals from each family to discuss their unique experience and how they hope to grow and manage this wealth for future generations. First up in our conversation is Scott Cravens.  Scott is the COO of Full Sail Capital and graciously agreed to kick us off. Enjoy!
