    Creating a Legacy (with Josh Comrie) - Ep. 200

    Creating a Legacy (with Josh Comrie) - Ep. 200

    It's our big 200th episode today and we couldn't think of a better way to bring it in than a chat on the topic of legacy.



    How do you create a legacy you can be proud of? What does it mean to leave a legacy that doesn't involve work?



    Today we are joined by Josh Comrie to discuss this and more. With over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, investor and advisor, Josh has accumulated inside knowledge into what makes a business successful.

    His core competencies are: wealth creation, strategy, fundraising, mindset, sales, marketing, team building and recruitment, balance and leading a full life.



    In this episode, the team breaks down what legacy can look like. They discuss why legacy is important, what people should consider when creating their own legacy, and how to maintain a balanced and meaningful life after letting go of a business. The conversation touches on topics such as purpose, values, impact, relationships, spirituality, community, creativity, and growth. In this conversation, Josh and Jez discuss the concept of leaving a legacy and how to create a meaningful one. They explore topics such as the importance of purpose, the paradox of uniqueness, and the role of service in leaving a legacy. They also discuss how to be helpful to others while fulfilling one's own legacy and how to help children think about their own legacies. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the harm of not creating a legacy and how to change one's legacy if desired.
