The Legacy Drawing Board

S3E33: Jeremy Horne interview

Jeremy Horne is the CEO of Storypedia and has a passion for encouraging people to interview their family members, especially the ones from earlier generations.  In this episode, we discuss the value and importance of storytelling and building connections with our loved ones and with people we have just met.  

S3E32: Understanding angles in decision-making

Angles play an important part in the game of baseball.  How you round the bases and position yourself to throw depends on the angle of your feet, shoulders, and head.  Life is a series of decisions.  To make better decisions, it is vital that you understand the angles of the situation before you and that you have prepared for this opportunity.  

S3E31: What burdens are we to bear?

All lives come with burdens.  How we respond to them determines our legacy.  Moreover, how we respect how others respond to their burdens also contributes to our legacies.  

S3E30: Your story is a trilogy

Frame your story as a trilogy and began to see the power of your story.  Start by increasing your awareness of the people in your life and giving more thought to your purpose.  Journey forward with exploration of the unfamiliar and uncomfortable.  Conclude by committing to overcoming trials and tribulations.  All the elements are before you every day of your life.  Begin your adventure and finish with a stronger story.   

S3E29: Patriarchs and matriarchs

We envision ourselves as parents and grandparents.  However, do we anticipate when we are to step into the roles of patriarch and matriarch?  There is a difference between leading your immediate family and leading the family.  This episode discusses the importance of preparing for this possibility due to its significant impact on your legacy.  

S3E28: How should you be measuring your legacy?

Our lives are saturated with measurements.  Grades, standardized tests, work performance, credit ratings, net worth, and so on.  When it comes to our legacy, how should we be measuring it?  The key is to not compare yourself to others, but to seek alignment with your true north and to speak in the most authentic way possible.  

S327: The legacy of Walt Disney

Walt Disney was a masterful storyteller who elevated the medium of animation.  He brought innovations to animation and created the theme park.  All of his efforts focused on assembling talented people to produce films for children and the child inside of us.  

S3E26: Knowing when you have become an artist

We are all artists.  Some of us just need to find the courage to say it and the persistence to maintain our identity when it seems no one agrees.  Once you embrace your artistic nature, you can begin to design and create your legacy in a fashion that will touch minds and hearts for generations.
