When we go on short trips we often know exactly what we expect at the end, but when it comes to our lives and careers we’ve seen far too often we shy away from really thinking through where we expect to be at the end and what we hope our legacy will be. So, we wanted to encourage conversations on the topic of legacy and you’ll find highlights from our conversation from some wonderful members of the business and creative community below.
Tiara Talley

I am living out the legacy of my father, who, like me, was an entrepreneur but lost his life at the young age of 27. The drive I have for my business has always been bigger than just me—because deep down, I know his spirit lives through me. I want people to say that when they see me, they see him. That they recognize the love, passion, and dedication I have for my dreams and aspirations. Read more>>
Chael The Apostle

The legacy I am building is one rooted in faith, leadership, and community. At the core, my mission is to be a vessel for God—allowing Him to use me as an instrument to reach His people, from the lost to the saved. My purpose is to lead, inspire, and uplift, creating a lasting impact that extends beyond just music or business but into the hearts and lives of those I encounter. Read more>>

I want to leave a legacy where people remember that I helped others. Specifically, for over 20 years, I have worked to help over 100,000 individuals realize the American Dream of homeownership. This experience sparked my desire to write children’s book series, “The Unbelievable Adventures of Gabby and Josh Can”. By offering these stories to the world, I am putting a deposit in the earth for generations to come. When my life is over, the message of the importance of financial education will live on. The stories were specifically named after my children and grandchildren as an reminder that generational wealth starts with generational knowledge. Read more>>

There was a time when I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to do in life, but I always knew I wanted to start my own business. Transitioning from an undergraduate degree in criminal justice to earning a master’s in media was a significant but necessary shift—one of the best decisions I could have made. I realized that a career in law enforcement or the legal field wasn’t for me, and stepping into the world of media unlocked a creative side I hadn’t fully explored. Read more>>

I hope my legacy is one that shouts—loud and clear—that pain and loss don’t get the final word. I want people to remember me as someone who took the hardest moments life threw at me and turned them into something meaningful, something that empowered others to find their voice and live boldly.
I want people to say, “She was tough as nails but had the biggest heart. She didn’t just survive—she thrived, and she made sure others did too.” I hope I’m remembered for speaking up about things that are often silenced—grief, loss, resilience—and for making space for others to do the same. Whether through my writing, my speaking, or just how I lived my everyday life, I want people to look back and think, ‘Because of her, I felt seen. I felt brave. I felt like I could keep going.’ Read more>>

I have often thought about my legacy because I want to ensure I make a positive impact on humanity. After reflecting upon my values and professional goals, I feel my strongest desire is to live a life of integrity. I want my legacy to be that I acted from a place of wholeness and sincerity; that people felt my genuine care and authenticity. Read more>>

The legacy I want to leave isn’t just in the photos I create—though those will live on long after I’m gone (as long as they’re printed!). More than that, I hope the impact of my work extends beyond the images themselves.
I want my clients to carry the feeling they experienced during their session with them—the strength, confidence, and self-love they discovered in front of my lens. I hope that when they look at their photos, years or even decades from now, they remember not just how they looked, but how they felt. And I hope that feeling stays with them, shaping the way they see themselves and their own beauty long after the session is over. Read more>>
Grant Barth

I approach team building through education and empathy. I told a good friend with a long career that I will be most known for helping others reach their goals. We were talking about teaching and creating an environment that allows for strong discussion mixed with shared experience. My entire career has been built on a vision of global and cultural understanding to bring people together. I want people to feel their life is better after spending time with me and my point of view. Listening, solving problems, and embracing diversity are all attributes of my approach to business and life. If I can in any way promote this with others, then my job is well done. Read more>>

The legacy I hope to leave is to be known for something more than a nurse.
I grew up dabbling in many talents: singing, dancing, volleyball, flute, guitar, drawing, and photography. Being creative is what I love doing the most and brought me immense joy. But my parents’ wish for me was to be in the healthcare field. There are many nurses in my family, including my mom and older brother, so it was almost ingrained in me to join the same career. Although it was not my first choice, I am proud of the accomplishments I’ve made as a nurse as well as a person: obtaining my master’s degree, moving away from home and living independently, and helping patients ease their minds by educating and guiding them during the most difficult, unexpected journey in their lives.

I want my legacy to be one of impact, inspiration, and unwavering love. I want to be remembered as a woman who uplifted those around me, especially my children, helping them step into their greatness and chase their dreams fearlessly. My journey has been about more than just supporting them—it’s been about creating opportunities, breaking barriers, and showing them that anything is possible with faith, hard work, and perseverance.

I hope to build a legacy of creativity, impact, and inspiration one that reflects my passion for storytelling, design, and creating meaningful experiences. Through my work in event planning and digital content creation, I strive to bring people together, celebrate life’s special moments, and leave a lasting impression on those I collaborate with.

Haley Spencer

I’ve always tied my worth to my achievements. The faster I could hit a goal, the better I felt about myself. I thought my legacy would be about success—about the deals closed, the accomplishments listed, and the image of someone who ‘had it all together.’” Read more>>
Delton Valentine

I think about legacy often especially within my family. I hope I’m remembered for my ability to make people feel seen and valued. Not everyone grew up with love or kindness in their lives and we need more of it. Read more>>
Bo Insogna

I hope to be remembered as a passionate and dedicated professional photographer who inspired awe with my lightning photography and breathtaking nature landscapes.
Since 1987, I’ve been chasing lightning storms, vibrant colors, and the magic of light. Over the years, my work has been featured in books, publications, and media, reaching audiences far and wide. I’m grateful that much of my art will endure, adorning the walls of banks, hospitals, offices, hotels, assisted living centers, and other commercial spaces. Read more>>
Jessie Tucker

I aspire to leave a legacy defined by resilience and compassion, even amidst adversity. Through my art, I hope to ignite self-belief and inspire others to strive for their best selves. Life inevitably presents challenges, and I aim to capture and convey grace and soulful beauty within those moments. In doing so, I hope to inspire future generations, just as I have been inspired by the strong, kind artists who came before me. I am committed to embodying these values and expressing them through my art—in the delicate emergence of flowers, the serenity of dreamscapes, the curiosity of wildlife, and the wonder of abstraction.

Our family is very unique! We are a multi-racial adoptive family! Not one of us is the same but we make up our perfect family! My husband and I started cheering at a young age and went on to cheer at Weber State University. We never wanted to push our children into this sport or expect them to be a part of it. We adopted our first baby girl in 2016 and she started stunting the moment she could lock out her little knees! And each little girl followed after.. 3 times! We embrace each of our differences and celebrate those but we also all love that we can bond through such a fun, thrilling sport! We hope others can see that this sport brings so much to our family and stretches us in ways we never though we could and helps us trust each other in ways we never thought we would need to!

Serving others and finding joy in it—this is my mantra. There is no secret ingredient to happiness; it lies in embracing this mindset, whether with family, friends, or business colleagues. People have long searched for the key to happiness, yet they often overlook that it all begins at home. I want to be remembered as someone who lived by this code, leaving a legacy of kindness and service. Read more>>
