Inspired by insights from a recent John Maxwell leadership summit, Ben Taatjes explores the powerful distinction between legacy and inheritance. Maxwell's wisdom - 'What you leave in their life is more important than what you leave for their life' - sets the foundation for understanding the true aim of retirement. Discover how to craft the single sentence by which you want your legacy defined and learn Ben's three C's of legacy building. This episode challenges conventional thinking about wealth transfer and reveals how to orient your retirement finances around what truly matters - the impact you leave in people's lives, not just the assets you leave behind. A must-listen for anyone thinking beyond retirement accounts to lasting influence.
