032: How to Leave a Legacy that’s More Than Just Money with Ben Weisshaut


Listen Later

What legacy will your family leave behind? Will it be a sum of money, or will it be heritage, values, and the amazing experiences parents and their children have across generations?

Tech entrepreneur Ben Weisshaut lost his father to a late-stage brain tumor shortly before his son was born. This tragic loss inspired him to journal, make videos, and capture as much history as possible to help his son get to know his grandpa. He used the discoveries he made along the way to create Wishlife - a platform that helps families capture what matters most.

Today, Ben joins the podcast to talk about how families can go deeper than money and create an emotional legacy. You’ll find out what he learned from interviewing countless families about what matters the most to them, what it means to build a responsible legacy, and how retirees are changing their plans in a world where it’s unsafe to travel to stay closer to family in difficult times.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

  • Why an emotional legacy is so much more important than a financial one - and how families can pass history and experiences down across generations.
  • How Wishlife provides a central archive for family history.
  • Why building a family legacy takes time, just like a financial one.
