Host Linda Marshall invites her guest to discuss the topic of legacy and how it affects our lives and the lives of others on Episode 5, Season 4 of Business Wellness in Hamilton.
When I refer to legacy, I believe it to be memories or knowledge that come from the past. Consequently, our legacy is built by the words and actions we choose during our lifetime that leave a lasting impression on others, what they remember about who we are, and what we stand for. It's the story and experiences of one's life.
The impact of our legacy can make such a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes small acts of kindness can touch an individual and change their lives in ways we may never understand. Spending time thinking about our legacy can bring more meaning to our life, especially when we focus on our living legacy.
Join my special guest Leo Nupolu Johnson, Founder & Executive Director - Empowerment Squared, and me to discuss the topic of legacy: giving of oneself in support of others for the premiere show on Friday, October 16, at 8:00 pm.
