“A society becomes great when old men plant trees
an ancient Greek proverb
under whose shade they know they’ll never sit.”
This powerful quote captures the essence of legacy. It’s not about recognition or applause. It’s about building something lasting — something greater than ourselves — for those who come after us. Legacy lives on not through fame or fortune, but through acts of selflessness that echo across generations.

These aren’t just ideas I toss around — they’re a mindset for endurance. They guide how I show up each day, how I coach, how I parent, and how I push through challenges when things get hard. Because they do get hard.
