Dr. Jamie Weiner - The Quest for Legitimacy: How Children of Prominent Families Discover Their Unique Place in the World. This is episode 509 of the audio podcast Teaching Learning Leading K12.

Jamie Weiner is a psychologist and co-founder of Inheriting Wisdom, a consultancy for high-net-worth families. Jamie works on all the problems that exist behind the money. Co-founder of Inheriting Wisdom with his wife, Dr. Carolyn Friend, he excels in activating families to become high performance families.

Dr. Weiner is the co-author of The Legacy Conversation, a book designed to encourage families to have meaningful dialogues about the impact of money and the importance of intentionality for families of means. He has authored numerous articles and speaks frequently.

Intrigued with the experiences of rising-gen family members, Jamie initiated an ongoing qualitative research study called “The Land of the Giants”. The purpose of the study is to understand what it is like growing up in the shadows of other’s successes.

Dr. Weiner’s experience as a clinical psychologist lends unique insights to his understanding of the complex dynamics existing in families, businesses, and not-for-profits. His expertise with leveraging the human capital that lies in multi-generational, affluent families extends into the family office and business space where a family’s needs and “their business” are often linked and complicated. Drawing on previous experiences developing programs for Cook County Jail and Mother’s Against Drunk Driving has given him insight into a broad range of human struggles.

Jamie is a Fellow of the Family Firm Institute (FFI), He has served on the FFI global board and chaired the editorial board of the FFI Practitioner, an online publication providing comprehensive news, analysis, trends, and research intelligence affecting the family enterprise provider community.
