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.

Jasmine Mejia Correa

I hope to build a legacy of impact, connection, and empowerment. I want to be remembered as someone who poured love into everything she did—whether it was helping women feel confident in their skin, creating spaces where people felt seen and supported, or simply showing up with kindness and authenticity.

I hope people say that I made them feel beautiful, not just on the outside but in their hearts. That I was someone who believed in them, who encouraged them to chase their dreams, and who reminded them of their worth when they forgot. Read more>>

Neva Fairfield

The legacy I hope to build is one of impact and transformation, especially in the realm of water safety and drowning prevention. I want to be remembered as someone who fundamentally changed how swim lessons are taught in America—shifting the focus from quick progress and measurable outcomes to emotional security, confidence, and independent movement in the water. My goal is to empower parents to teach their own children to swim, breaking the cycle of generational fear and ensuring that more children grow up feeling safe and capable in the water. Read more>>

Kevin DeCristoforo

The legacy I am hoping to build within my community and the people I have met is for them to remember me as a good representation of God’s work. I don’t care about the numbers that are at the top of my social media pages, rather the quality and the message that is conveyed in my videos is what keeps me going. Read more>>

Kacie Palmer

It is my hope to leave a legacy of love and genuine caring for others. As a business owner each time I make a decision I strive to think of the impact it will have on those within my span of care. I believe it is the responsibility of each of us to love and care for one another. I hope that each person entering my business feels cared for. At then end of the day I just want those around me to know they are important and loved. Read more>>

Lauren Sime

The legacy I am building is one rooted in empowerment, purpose, and community. My mission has always been to help people—especially small business owners and, more specifically, minority entrepreneurs—realize their full potential by equipping them with the digital tools they need to succeed. When I started my business, I saw a gap: so many talented, passionate individuals lacked the resources or knowledge to create a strong, streamlined brand presence. I wanted to bridge that gap by offering high-quality branding, website design, and marketing strategies at an accessible cost. Read more>>

Chris Weaver

I hope my legacy is about more than just the music—I want to be remembered for the connections I made, the experiences I created, and the people I helped along the way. Whether it’s through the songs I’ve written, the energy of a live show, or the opportunities I’ve created for other artists, I want to leave behind something that made a real impact. Read more>>

Cherise

I want to be remembered as a woman who took bold risks, overcame fear, and shattered self-doubt to achieve great things—while empowering other women to do the same. My legacy is one of clarity, courage, and connection—helping women find their purpose, communicate effectively, and step confidently into their calling. Read more>>

Uri & Lindsey Bendoski

We want to foster a healthier music and arts culture in Utah, where talent isn’t trapped in a cycle of competition but supported through storytelling and collaboration. Too often, bands fight to be the next to break out, but we believe the real breakthrough comes from sharing the stories behind the music and uplifting each other. The more we support one another, the larger and more engaged the audience becomes. Our focus is on building a creative ecosystem—one that, if successful here, can be expanded to other markets. If I can see that change in my lifetime, I will consider it a victory. Read more>>

Victoria Pittman

As I ponder my legacy, I envision a trifecta of love, wisdom, and acceptance. I long to leave an indelible mark on the lives of those I cherish, starting with my family and friends. I want them to know, without a shadow of doubt, that they were deeply loved and valued by me.

My journey of studying relationships stems from a desire to love more intentionally and abundantly. I believe that strong, loving relationships are the foundation of a fulfilling life. When God wanted to accomplish great things, He often started with a family. This inspired me to nurture meaningful connections with my loved ones, including my incredible sister, Allison, who’s been my rock since childhood. Read more>>

Emma Rosen

I want my legacy to be about redefining what weddings can be—breaking away from tradition and giving couples the freedom to celebrate their love in a way that truly reflects who they are. Weddings shouldn’t feel like something you have to do; they should be something you get to fully experience—unapologetically.

The wedding industry is saturated with planners who just go by the book, doing the same thing over and over. But I believe it’s time for a shift, and I hope to be a small driving force for that change. I want to bring the fun back into weddings, stripping away the pressure and expectations so couples can actually enjoy their day instead of feeling like they’re just ticking boxes. Read more>>

Coco Hunter

My legacy? Simple. To create spaces that change lives. I hope to be remembered as a bridge-builder—between generations, between technology and humanity, between what we know and what we dream could be. I care about igniting potential. People looking back and saying,“The ECODOME gave us the tools and the space to discover what we’re capable of, to learn and grow in ways we never knew possible.” Read more>>

Cortney Roberts

On my life’s journey of continuous learning and growth, I strive to evolve not only in knowledge and experience but also in character and impact. I hope to leave a legacy that embodies determination, philanthropy, faith, laughter, and love. These are values that shape my every step and decision. Read more>>

Reece Ferguson

The legacy I am hoping to leave is simple, but an important one. I hope to leave a legacy of kindness and love.
My goal with my business and with my personal life is to make every person feel welcomed. That every purchase is important to me no matter how small.
I make a point to go the extra mile to include others in conversations, events, parties, etc. I do this because I do know what it feels like to be the one on the outside. To be the one who can’t shop at certain stores because of my size. Not invited to certain get togethers because I wasn’t cool enough. Read more>>

Nycole Fry

In a world that often emphasizes external solutions to our problems, I envision leaving a legacy that re-centers the focus on the individual’s innate power to heal and transform. My mission is to support individuals in realizing that they are their own healers and, most importantly, the architects of their reality. Each person possesses the capability to make changes that serve their greater good and, in doing so, contribute positively to humanity as a whole. Read more>>

Jeremy Turner

As a leader, it is my job to develop more leaders.

I am hoping my legacy will be that strong leaders are built through my organizations. Leaders that aim to serve those who follow them. I qualify potential candidates for my teams based upon the following traits: humility, work ethic, curiosity, team ability, empathy, drive, and integrity. With these core traits any man or woman can become anything they want in the world. We do not hire for skills. Skills can easily be taught. We hire for these traits and then create a very strong culture where people are in a safe space to fail. This process takes a little longer to bring new recruits up to speed, but the staying power, loyalty, and trust amongst the team members is strong and long lasting. Read more>>

Julia Young

I hope my legacy will be one of empowerment, love, and transformation. Through my work as The Mindful Nanny, I want to be remembered as someone who nurtured not only the minds and hearts of children but also supported families in creating meaningful, balanced lives. I want people to think of me as someone who valued the beauty of nature, the power of play, and the importance of fostering connections that help children thrive emotionally and physically. Read more>>

Mea Lawrence

I genuinely hope that I build a legacy where people know that I am honest, I am real and I am known for sharing my love of reading with others. Whether it’s through making bookish content, having conversations with people who love to read or helping people find books that match their interests, I want to do something that feels good and help people too.

Ben Salazar

I’ve been fascinated my entire life with what’ll be here when I’m gone. From a filmmaking, writing, and personal perspective I want there to be something when I’m gone. I want people to watch my movies, read my work, and experience what I think is interesting. But, after lots of work and self reflecting I realize that if I could just make one person love one of my works. If I make a movie and it’s one persons favorite thing ever, then I could die happy. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy I have to do for myself. I want to feel like I made it, but I also have to let myself make it if that makes sense. Read more>>
