Vision that ends with your lifetime is ambition. Vision that outlives you is legacy, and legacy is built with decisions you will never see the return on.

Vision that ends with your lifetime is ambition. Vision that outlives you is legacy, and legacy is built with decisions you will never personally collect on.

Every building, school and broadcast we have started was funded by people who will not sit in the best seat. That is the point.

Legacy thinking changes your budget before it changes your calendar. It asks what still stands in forty years, then works backwards.

It also changes who you develop. If everything depends on one voice, you have built a platform, not a house.

Plant what you will not harvest. The generation after you will call it normal, and that is the highest compliment a builder can receive.
