Ep. 84 Building Your Legacy

What will people remember about you when you're gone? Your car, your house, your money? Or the person you were?
In this deeply personal episode, Jake and Braxston tackle the challenging topic of legacy building—specifically, how to create lasting impact without sacrificing what matters most along the way. Drawing from their own experiences, they explore the disconnect between outward success and meaningful living that so many high-achievers encounter.
Braxston shares his observations of successful CEOs who reached their professional goals but regretted the corners they cut with family and relationships. "Once they finally get there, whatever 'the top' looks like to them, they realize how much they've messed up along the way," he notes. Meanwhile, Braxton candidly reveals his behind-the-scenes hustle—door dashing between deliveries to fund his dreams—demonstrating that real legacy building happens in those quiet, unglamorous moments nobody posts about.
The conversation offers practical takeaways for intentional legacy building: writing your own obituary to clarify priorities, keeping journals or video messages for your children, and consistently evaluating if what you're building is worth what it's costing you. As Braxston powerfully summarizes, "Legacy isn't what you leave in your will—it's what you live." If you're working to build something meaningful that outlasts you while navigating the daily grind, this episode provides both the inspiration and practical framework to stay the course.
