Inheritance to Income

Inheritance to Income is an applied legacy education platform hosted by Garrick Francis, helping families, founders, and leaders move from legacy by default to legacy by design.

We explore property, business ownership, family alignment, stewardship, succession, leadership transition, and generational wealth — with a focus on the real challenge beneath the Great Wealth Transfer and Silver Tsunami.

The issue is not just transfer. It’s readiness.

This show is for families navigating inherited responsibility, founders preparing for transition, and next-generation stewards learning to carry what was built.

We surface the unaccustomed conversations many families avoid — authority, roles, expectations, responsibility, and what must be prepared before crisis forces the issue.

Because legacy is not just what you leave behind. It’s what you prepare others to carry.

Inheritance may begin by default.

Legacy requires design.
