Keith Whitaker is an educator who consults with leaders and rising generation members of families with significant wealth. We had an interesting conversation touching on Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, but also on Keiths long practical experience working with the wealthy.  We talk about the cycle of the gift in families, the concept of magnificence, and his work on books with Jay Hughes, Paul Schervish on Wealth and the Will of God and his recent collaboration with Tom McCullough on the Wealth of Wisdom books. Keith is Managing Director of Wise Counsel Research.  He is the co-author of Wealth and the Will of God, The Cycle of the Gift, The Voice of the Rising Generation, Family Trusts, Complete Family Wealth,  Wealth of Wisdom: the Top 50 Questions Wealthy Families Ask, and Wealth of Wisdom: the Top Practices of Wealthy Families and their Advisors. Keith has served as a Managing Director at Wells Fargo Family Wealth, an adjunct professor of management at Vanderbilt University, and an adjunct assistant professor of philosophy at Boston College. Keith holds a Ph.D. in Social Thought from the University of Chicago, a BA and MA in Classics and Philosophy from Boston University. Keith is one of the most thoughtful people in the family wealth world, and his knowledge of philosophy and respect for tradition made him a real pleasure to talk to.  Please enjoy my conversation with Keith Whitaker.
