A Steward of What I've Been Given with Mike Milligan

This week, I'm joined by Mike Milligan, founder of 1.oak Financial, for a conversation about wealth, business ownership, and the legacy we're building every day. While money is certainly part of the discussion, Mike challenges the idea that wealth is the only thing we leave behind. We talk about the importance of your name, your character, and what people will remember about you long after you're gone. Mike also shares the realities of entrepreneurship—the freedom, the challenges, and the responsibility that comes with building something of your own. One of my favorite moments from our conversation is a story about Mike's grandparents. When his grandfather could no longer work because of physical limitations, his grandmother stepped in, cooking and selling collard sandwiches to help provide for their family. It's a powerful reminder that resilience, sacrifice, and determination often become the greatest inheritance we can pass down. This episode is about more than financial success. It's about work ethic, stewardship, family, and building a legacy that lasts far beyond a bank account. #iieltb #finance #wealth #legacy #entrepreneur
