Episode Notes
What does it look like when a wealth advisor doesn’t just manage your portfolio — but your legacy? Kyle Kutz, Senior Partner and Private Family Office Director at Blue Trust, joins Luke Roush to talk through the real work of faith-driven stewardship: building a financial finish line, navigating multi-generational wealth, unleashing generosity, and ultimately achieving peace of mind that only comes from stewarding God’s resources His way.
Blue Trust serves 11,000 families with $60 billion in assets under advisory — and last year alone, their clients gave away over $450 million. Kyle unpacks how that culture of generosity was built, what it means to be the “comprehensive financial quarterback” for complex family wealth, and why independence from greed matters far more than independence from financial need.
Luke and Kyle also tackle the tension between business capital and family capital, the “home-going plan” tool Blue Trust uses to prepare families for legacy, and how the firm thinks about equipping next-generation family members to discover their unique calling — even when it has nothing to do with the family business.
