Echoes of Us is a podcast about human inheritance; the perspective, values, and lived experiences we pass forward. Hosted by Elena Iacono, Founder of LegacyNex, season two focuses on understanding. Each short episode unpacks a single idea drawn from real conversations and experience. Because most people don’t struggle to care about this: they struggle to fully see it. What it is. What it does. And what becomes possible when it’s understood.

    Worth Listening To

    What makes a voice believable isn’t certainty, it’s honesty. In this special episode, Christin Geall, author of Flora Culture and Cultivated, shares why the responsibility of a narrator isn’t to have all the answers, but to tell the truth as clearly as they can. To hold perspective, doubt, and meaning at the same time, and to invite others into that process. There are powerful parallels here. Echoes of Us is a LegacyNex production, hosted by Elena Iacono, Founder, LegacyNex.

    When It Finally Moves

    You can care deeply about capturing the stories, perspectives, and values that shape a life. You can even know you want to do it. And still, nothing happens. This episode explores why that gap exists, and what it actually takes to move. Echoes of Us is a LegacyNex production, hosted by Elena Iacono (Founder of LegacyNex).

    So...Why doesn't This Happen?

    You can record your story. That’s easy. What’s harder is uncovering how you think, what shaped you, and what actually matters beneath it. This episode explores the difference - and why it changes everything, both now and over time. Echoes of Us is a LegacyNex production, hosted by Elena Iacono (Founder of LegacyNex).

    Season Two: A Different Approach

    Season one of Echoes of Us explored why this work matters. Season two is about something else. Why people feel it. Why they connect to it.And why, even then… they don’t act. Each episode is a single idea: clear, direct, and grounded in what actually happens. Because this isn’t something you decide on instantly. It’s something you come to understand. And once you do, you don’t see it the same way again. New episodes weekly. Hosted by Elena Iacono, Founder, LegacyNex

    Legacy isn’t just about wealth — it’s about the wisdom, values, and stories that shape who we are. In this episode, Elena Iacono speaks with Steve Beauchesne, CEO of Family Enterprise Canada, about the growing shift in how families think about inheritance. As wealth alone proves unable to anchor the next generation, families are searching for new ways to preserve what truly lasts; their insights, voices, and lived lessons. A powerful conversation about the human side of inheritance , and why LegacyNex is proud to be at the forefront of this emerging movement.

    Beyond the Ledger

    In this episode, Elena Iacono sits down with Christine Van Cauwenberghe, Head of Financial Planning at IG Wealth Management and author of Wealth Planning Strategies for Canadians (2026 Edition) — a leading voice in estate and wealth planning across the country. Christine shares why she believes every estate plan should capture more than just financial wishes — it should reflect the person behind it. From protecting vulnerable individuals to rethinking how advisors engage with clients, Christine offers powerful insights into why legacy storytelling isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s essential. Whether you’re planning for the future or guiding others through it, this conversation is a timely reminder: wealth alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Voice, values, and personal perspective matter.

    Guiding Growth

    In this episode, Elena Iacono and Dr. Paul Edelman — a coach, educator, and facilitator who helps families navigate leadership transitions and meaningful conversations in complicated times — come together to explore why true legacy isn’t about what you leave behind, but about what you set in motion. They unpack what holds people back from having meaningful conversations, how to foster a culture of reflection, and why guiding growth across generations is one of the most important roles any of us can play. If you work with families, advise them, or care about the values you’re passing forward, this conversation is for you.
