Breaking the Silence: Estate Planning Truths Every First-Gen Wealth Builder Must Face. Ep 9

Estate planning isn’t just about legal documents - it’s about protecting your values, your voice, and your loved ones. In this episode, I’m joined by Elsa W. Smith, an Afro-Cuban estate planning attorney serving Maryland and DC, for an honest conversation on the realities first-generation wealth builders face when preparing their legacy. 

Elsa shares why planning should start at age 18, how to keep your plan evolving as life changes, and the emotional and cultural barriers that often stop people from taking action. We also explore the role of communication in avoiding family conflicts, and why social media “advice” isn’t enough when it comes to your financial future. 

Whether you’re just beginning your wealth-building journey or managing a growing portfolio, this episode will help you approach estate planning with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
