The structure that holds the School, the people who carry it, and the oversight that holds them all to account. Meet the stewardsThe Mission Lock ## Two bodies, one institution — by design. One carries the work into the world: builds, teaches, earns, grows. The other holds the mission in trust: the Commons, custodial, unowned. Neither is complete alone. The enterprise gives the mission reach; the commons gives the enterprise a conscience it cannot outrun. The work can grow. The mission cannot be sold. The School is not owned. It is held. ## The Stewards The School is carried by stewards across generations — literally. Three of its steward lines run within families: daughter and mother, mother and son, father and son. A school of intergenerational stewardship. Practised on itself. ![Ryna Mi](https://www.thewealthschool.ch/assets/school-646f8ad9e094931e/img/ryna-mi.jpg) Ryna Mi[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rynamiwealth/)Founding StewardArchitect of Existential Portfolio Theory and founding steward of The Wealth School.
