Beauty catches the eye and stirs the heart.  True beauty edifies us because it starts with the truth, progresses to goodness, and completes the journey to beauty.  When we are struck by beauty, we should pause and look for the truth and goodness that reside within.  I encourage you to build your legacy with a foundation of truth and raise goodness up to finish with a work of beautify art.  

I interview Miya Simpson, proprietor of Taste and See Vegan Desserts.  Hear her story as a single mom who homeschooled her child, a new empty nester, a missionary, and an artist who expresses herself through baking.

No matter how talented you are, you can always benefit from the help of others.   Manager Brian Epstein and producer George Martin were instrumental in the success of The Beatles.  They provided mentorship to four young lads from Liverpool and helped elevate them into the world's most popular band.  They helped them tell the stories they wanted to tell through their songs.  Do you have a Brian Epstein or George Martin helping you tell your story?  Or, are you helping others tell their stories?  

Are you seeking work-life balance or life-work harmony?  Are you spending time or investing it?  Listen to reimagine how you live out your day when you follow the principles of good design to bring harmony to your efforts of telling a story that flows.  

Remixing engineers are artists who seek to distill the essence of the musicians and singers from a previously mixed song.  The intent is to bring a fresh clean interpretation to a familiar work.  We can learn from these artists regarding centering the conversation, balancing voices, and giving room for nuances to be appreciated.  Listen to mix/remix your leadership skills for greater clarity.  

Storytelling is an art, akin to architecture.  I cite the challenges DC Studios will have in their attempt to duplicate Marvel's movie success because of the design differences between the DC and Marvel comic universes.  Bringing elements together is the beginning, but you must be able to structure relationships and use space appropriately to tell a story.  

"Dance, then, is the most personal of all the arts...it springs from the very breath of life."  What is the dance of your legacy?  Listen to gain insights from the five elements of dance and how they can be applied in choregraphing the story you want to tell and the legacy you want to leave.  

Have you designed how you will move forward when you fail?  We will all experience failing, but that does not equate to failure.  Listen to gain encouragement when faced with trials and tribulations and learn to see failings as an opportunity for growth.  

The lighting designer is responsible for coordinating light sources to help the director and actors tell the intended story on the stage.  Lighting propels performance from an idea into an inspired function.  As you get ready to take the stage to tell your story, have you positioned your light in such a fashion to tell a story that the audience can clearly see?  Listen to conduct a self-examination of how you are presenting your story and your light.  

Your message is your legacy.  If you are an immigrant, how do you design and build your legacy from two worlds, two languages?  Or do you have two legacies?  Listen as I share my experience as an immigrant and how this experience has shaped my legacy.
