What Will the Next Generation Inherit from You? with Ken Polk

50 minutes

The website for Arlington Family Offices lists “$16B assets under stewardship” and “870 souls under management.” Those word choices were very intentional on the part of founder Ken Polk. Ken doesn’t see his job as merely making wealth grow for its own sake; he wants to help families put some meaning into how they earn, invest, and spend their money, building a legacy of faithful stewardship in the process. Ken talks with Nate Dewberry this week about the Biblical tenets and stewardship principles that he’s put to good use both with his business and in his own family, advising, “unity is the most undervalued asset.” He also offers reassurance and advice for men who are struggling financially—and for those who are doing OK, but haven’t yet committed themselves to taking a longer-term view.
