Ben Greenfield

a greenfield family constitution and it's got it's got the full list of our family values in it.

And then we use those family values to in the same way that like a business might create a business branded mission statement, a greenfield family mission statement that just like weaves in all these core values like

radical transparency and honesty or contentedness, no matter our circumstances.

And so we have this list of values, and then that's in the mission statement.

And so those are in the Constitution.

But then we have the family logo, the family crests, every movement

I mean, we have like their unique spirit animals, their hex cars.

Awesome.

We've all got our end of life memorial wishes and our obituaries in there.

We've got what we do on Thanksgiving, what we do on Christmas, what we do on Easter, like all of the different holiday traditions.

And then we even have the rites of passage in there.

Like what?

What's a young greenfield man do for the rite of passage from youthhood into adolescence and from adolescence into adulthood?

And when they're 16, they got to leave the house for three months without any money from mom and dad and just go find their way, you know, whatever, road trip, traveling internationally, whatever.

And this is all packaged into a book that's a little over 100 pages long.

And we build upon it every year.

Like, we'll come back, we'll add some things, we'll take some things out.

But then I can give this book to my kids, my sons, when they start their family,

and then they can keep on building our pond.

Fantastic.
