What HBO's Succession Tells us about Wealth with James A. Miller, Meredith Blake and David Lenok - Ep 128


Listen Later

Today we will be discussing the enthralling HBO series, Succession and all it tells us about wealth, dysfunctional family dynasties, ambition, and greed with three great panelists, including Meredith Blake from the Los Angeles Times, Dave Lenok from WealthManagement .com, and James Andrew Miller, author of the new book Tinderbox: HBO’s Relentless Pursuit of New Frontiers.  (**Please rate and review Crazy Money here.**) In case you’ve been asleep for the past three years, here’s a brief synopsis of the show from Jim’s book:"Succession revolves around the Roy family, a thinly veiled amalgam of the Murdochs, and, well, the Murdochs. An aging patriarch named Logan—portrayed in juicily Lear-like fashion by Scottish actor Brian Cox—plays his overeager children off each other as they jockey to take over his evil media empire, Waystar Royco." If you have watched the show, you’ll love the behind the scenes insights and commentary regarding the intricacies of family business. If you haven't watched the show, today’s discussion might help you decide if it’s for you. Spoiler alert: it is. Also, there are spoilers in this conversation, so consider yourself notified.   Succession raises innumerable questions about the complexities of wealth:
Is it possible to be a billionaire and a great parent?
Does the prospect of a huge inheritance make loving your siblings more difficult?
Would you be happier if you flew sailed on yachts, flew on helicopters or rode blade on curb?
