Since starting this podcast, I’ve thought a lot about the legacy that I eventually want to leave behind. If you’ve tuned in to an episode of this podcast, you know that I close out each episode by asking my guests this question “When all is said and done, what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?”

I reflect on my own legacy in this short episode. I hope this makes you think about the legacy you are building.
