They didn’t drop their family secrets in our group chat—but in this episode, we’re getting as close as they’ll ever let us. In this session of The Success $ Lab, think less messy science room and more clean financial data center: rows of glowing screens, models running, and one habit from serious family offices pulled up on the monitor. The move on today’s screen is simple and sneaky: they keep more cash on hand than seems “reasonable,” and that one decision quietly rigs every other decision in their favor. Step into the lab with Dr. Shena Dixon Mason, Esq.—attorney, financial services professional, multi‑business owner, corporate brand partner, R1 research professor, and advisor to the wealthy—as she breaks down the Sleep‑At‑Night Reserve, the boring‑looking cash cushion that lets wealthy families walk into negotiations calm, pass on predatory offers, and say “no” to chaos disguised as opportunity. You’ll leave with a concrete assignment to define your own Sleep‑At‑Night number and a gut‑check question to run before your next big move, so you can start operating less like a frantic owner and more like the head of your own wealth command center.
