    In this episode of The Karas Wright Show, Karas Wright sits down with Anthony Chang, founder of Life Legacy Films, for a powerful conversation about intentional living, meaningful work, and preserving family stories before they're lost. Together, they unpack what it means to work to live instead of live to work, the importance of aligning your career with your values, and why capturing the voices, personalities, and stories of our parents and grandparents may be one of the greatest gifts we can leave future generations.

I recently sat down with several female entrepreneurs to discuss the silent, internal friction that often halts growth.
