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.

It’s unfortunate that legacy begins after you’re gone. It should more commonly practiced to give people their flowers while they’re alive but it rarely happens that way. I’ve never done anything in my own life to purposely reflect my legacy; it’s not something that I actively work on. Read more>>

Legacy, to me, is about leaving behind something significant—whether through actions, words, or the impact on people’s emotions. Regrettably, I haven’t felt this from my own family, a circumstance I aim to change as I build my own family circle. Read more>>
