Listen Later

In this episode of Both/And, Bessi Graham discusses how you can start thinking about your legacy by anticipating scenarios, avoiding legacy misconceptions, highlighting pitfalls and pondering ethical wealth creation.

Engaging in the discipline of anticipating and running scenarios through forward-thinking is a critical aspect of a successful mindset. My role is to identify and highlight pitfalls that I have encountered over time, and provide clear signposts to guide your efforts. By looking ahead, you gain insight into the vital aspects of legacy and your vision for your contribution to the world. Unfortunately, many people misunderstand legacy, leading to three unhelpful attitudes: valuing others' opinions, selflessness, and covering up past wrongs. My aim is to help you avoid these misconceptions, emphasizing the importance of ethical wealth creation. In this series, we will briefly recap the first two episodes before diving into the topic of legacy.

Also in this episode:

  • The three camps of legacy
  • Rhetoric and attention economy
  • The incredible importance of human attention
  • How to define what success looks like for you
  • Building a practice of reverse engineering
  • The need to take a more thoughtful approach to legacy and defining that logical relationship
