The Family Bank: How A Submarine Captain Navigated Financial Uncertainty To Build Lasting Wealth Part 1 (E28)

Wealth Acceleration Podcast

Building wealth isn’t just about making money—it’s about maintaining control over it through family banking. In this episode, Wade Reed sits down with Gary Pinkerton, a financial strategist and former Navy officer, to break down the Family Bank Strategy—a powerful approach to growing and protecting wealth. Gary shares his personal journey, from his military career to a financial awakening after the 2008 market crash, and how it led him to rethink everything about money management. He dives into why traditional financial advice often falls short, the dangers of handing over control of your wealth, and how liquidity and long-term thinking are key to financial stability.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
