What if your leadership didn’t stop when your career ended—or even when your life did?
In this powerful episode of No Limit Leadership, Sean Patton sits down with Justin Maxwell, a values-driven entrepreneur, advisor, and father of four who helps leaders create generational wealth and legacy. Together, they explore how leadership extends far beyond boardrooms and balance sheets into the most important places—your home, your family, and your future.

Justin reveals why most successful business owners unintentionally abdicate leadership to financial advisors, and how to flip the script by leading every domain of your life with clarity and intention. From building a family mission statement to redefining wealth as impact rather than consumption, this conversation is a roadmap for anyone who wants to create a legacy that endures.

If you want more than success—if you want significance—this episode will show you how to start leading beyond your lifetime.
