Scott joins me today to share how his early friendship with members of the Cathy family eventually led him to Chick-fil-A, what he learned working directly with founder Truett Cathy, and why intentionality matters just as much in families as it does in business. We discuss the value of reading and exposing yourself to better ideas, what successful multi-generational families do differently, why families need a compelling purpose that extends beyond wealth, and how annual gatherings can strengthen relationships across generations. Scott also explains why values are best passed down through consistent rhythms and experiences rather than lectures and how families can intentionally build a legacy that lasts.

Scott Wozniak's Words of Wisdom:
Take the things you value and turn them into rhythms. Instead of relying on lectures to pass values to the next generation, create practices and experiences that allow your children and grandchildren to live those values. Over time, those rhythms become patterns that shape your family's identity and carry what matters most into future generations.
