In our experience, talking about legacy is often subtly discouraged by society and we find this to be deeply unfortunate. Thinking about the legacy you would like to build can help you better align your work, life, time – your sweat and tears – with your values. Below, we’ve tried to create a space for folks to start conversations about they legacies they are hoping to build.

Darrin Pryor

This is such a great question. I would want my legacy to be me being able to allow people to feel that they have a safe space when being around me and being a person that encourages people to live their lives to the fullest being themselves. Everyone in this world has a different purpose and walks different paths throughout life. Being such an empathic person, the intention I move with is and will always be LOVE! Be aware, intentional, and spread love amongst the people you meet throughout life. Read more>>

A legacy is a foundation built by a person who regardless of all obstacles they are facing or are going through, whether at a young age or at the very current moment, they always find a way to overcome those obstacles and come out on top. A legacy is build by a person who humbles themselves to others so that this person can become a proper role model to newer generations and can be of an assistance when needed by those newer generations of people. A legacy shows that if this person can achieve and rise above obstacles, then anyone else can no matter the circumstances and that is what I hope people will say about my legacy after I am gone. I would like to be remembered as a person who never gave up on dreams and aspirations and loved what they did, and did what they loved. Read more>>

As a semi-retired celebrity publicist and a current Success Empowerment Life Coach, the legacy I am building is being a servant-leader. One of my gifts is the ability to genuinely want to assist and see people achieve their goals and win. After I a gone, I am certain that family, friends, clients, and associates will speak highly of my character, integrity, consistency, confidence, and compassion. My mission is to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone I am blessed to work with. I want to not only leave each individual with something accomplished but with something in them as well that they can carry and use to execute future goals. I want to be remembered as someone who made the success of others a priority and treated each person with honesty and respect. Read more>>

Rachel Green

I’d hope that when I’m gone, people see past my business for who I am. I feel like clients become friends based off of more than what you sell. You connect with them on a personal level. I believe your business thrives off of personal characteristics. I just hope at the end of the day, people would say that I helped them in some way. That I made an impact on them. I always strive to help people and that’s the most important thing to me. Read more>>

Luis Quijano

I always like to think of legacy in two ways: my personal legacy and my professional legacy. They’re very different from one another but they go hand to hand in my everyday life. For my personal legacy, I’m hoping to build one full of relationships and meaningful connections. I’d like to be remembered as a good person, as one that always tried to help whenever it was possible, as one that was kind, honest, gentle and a good worker. Above all, I’d like to be remembered as someone that lived his truth and in kindness no matter what. Read more>>
