Legacy is not destroyed in dramatic moments.

It’s shaped in small decisions.

In Episode 3 of First in Legacy, Jay Awal breaks down the hidden force that determines long-term stability: impulse control.

From the famous Stanford Marshmallow Experiment to modern dopamine-driven culture, this episode explores why the ability to delay gratification predicts future success, not just financially, but emotionally, relationally, and generationally.

Because legacy isn’t built on excitement.

It’s built on restraint.

You’ll learn:

• What the Marshmallow Experiment actually proved and what people misunderstand about it

• How dopamine trains your brain toward short-term thinking

• Why impatience quietly sabotages wealth, marriage, fitness, and leadership

• The connection between impulse control and compounding

• A practical framework to retrain your decision-making this week

Legacy requires continuation.

Continuation requires patience.

And patience is trained, not inherited.
