    To Be Right Or To Be Curious For Your Legacy with Nell3D

    Many high-achieving leaders are doing everything “right,” yet still feel exhausted by the constant pressure to do more. So how do you design a legacy built not on endless hustle but on sustainable influence that compounds over time? How can clarity, presence as well as boundaries create your legacy plan more than relentless effort? In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Nell Derick Debevoise Dewey to reveal why the traditional formula for your legacy, or 'being right' based on the past, typically can lead to diminishing returns and personal depletion. She introduces her concept of Systematic Subtraction, an approach that helps people remove what drains their energy so their impact can actually grow.

    Where Are You Not Leading In Your Legacy with Mark Vincent

    When leaders feel anxiety around change, they often slip into performance mode instead of asking the deeper questions that matter most: Who am I now, and what does success look like in this next chapter? If we are lucky enough to live to age 80, we have roughly 4,000 weeks, making it essential to design our legacy plan now with intention. And planning anything can be hard, unless we see the advantages of it right away. In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Mark Vincent, Ph.D. about how succession and wealth transfers are not merely financial events, but deeply human transitions that can reshape, recast and reform anyone’s identity, purpose, and motivations. Mark shares how holistic legacy planning starts with a personal mission statement, a guiding philosophy, and clarity about the people who will embrace your 'personal development'. Just as Beethoven composed his Symphony No. 9 while deaf, you too can find inspiration to transform your life's changes from moments of uncertainty into opportunities to compose your timeless legacy. - Mark L.

    Fulfillment In Your Legacy with Wealth Adviser Stephen Wagner

    Many entrepreneurs spend decades building successful companies, yet when it’s finally time to sell, most discover a hard truth: success in business does not automatically translate into a successful exit or a meaningful legacy.  In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with wealth manager Steven Wagner to explain why nearly 80% of businesses that go to market never sell—and why the real issue often has less to do with market conditions and more to do with a lack of intentional planning for the end of the journey. Entrepreneurs are the heroes of their story. They build businesses, create jobs, and generate wealth. But when the moment of transition approaches, many founders realize they are facing unfamiliar questions: What does life look like after the liquidity event?Who will carry forward the vision of the enterprise?How will the wealth they created strengthen—not fracture—their relationships?Mr. Wagner speaks about how a successful exit requires more than financial preparation—it requires designing the next chapter of life and legacy. Tune in to discover why founders often struggle to sell and how to avoid the most common traps: • Owners rarely start with the end in mind for their biz, life, or legacy. • Why many founders approach a liquidity event without a trusted team or a clear game plan for what comes next. • How neglecting social and human capital—especially family council meetings and intentional communication—can fracture relationships. The result of this kind of planning is profound. When founders intentionally design their exit, they gain more than financial security. They create continuity of leadership, stronger personal relationships, and a legacy that extends far beyond the balance sheet. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, or family steward thinking about the long-term impact of your success, this episode will challenge you to rethink one powerful idea: Your business exit isn’t the finish line—it’s the beginning of your legacy. - Learn more about Mr. Wagner at https://iwaplan.com. - At Legacy Planning©, we work with 'rising gen' entrepreneurs, wealth creators, and family stewards who are ready to turn their success into lasting contribution.
