Most individuals and families want to pass on more than money, but legacy is slow food for the soul — it requires intention, preparation, and steady nourishment. Like sex education class, talking about your legacy can be awkward — but avoiding the discomfort only guarantees confusion later.
In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Simon Holzapfel of CrowBox Partners to reveal why you can’t build on chaos, and why individuals and families must first create emotional order before they can create generational continuity. He explains how legacy isn’t a single event but how it happens one conversation at a time, especially when those conversations feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable. Simon offers tools to practice fighting fires, so all parties at the table learn to manage tension, conflict, and responsibility long before a crisis arrives. Ultimately, he reminds us that legacy may invite awkwardness, but it also invites transformation — and that’s where lasting stewardship truly begins!
