What Kind of Legacy Will You Leave?
Most of us are working hard to build our businesses, provide for our families, and maybe even create a little security for the future. But what if the bigger question isn’t about what you leave behind—it’s about what you set in motion?
In this conversation with David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High, CEO of The Legacy Stone, we get real about what it takes to live and lead with eternity in mind. These two men are not just business leaders who’ve created billions in value and impact—they’re men who have chosen to orient their lives around family, faith, and generational change. And trust me, the way they’ve done it will challenge you to rethink everything you thought success was supposed to look like.
David opens up about starting Hobby Lobby with just a $600 loan and how his focus wasn’t on “exit strategies” or building wealth for wealth’s sake, but on being faithful day by day. Bill shares how losing his father at 12 shaped his entire understanding of legacy—and why waiting until “someday” to invest in your family is a mistake you can’t afford to make. Together, they break down practical principles like creating a family vision, crafting a code of conduct, and the power of storytelling to pass down values for generations.
This conversation hit me hard on a personal level. I shared how my own father made one decision to get sober when I was 15, and how that single choice altered the course of my family forever. These stories are proof that it’s never too late to change the trajectory of your life—or your family’s future. Whether you’re a CEO, an entrepreneur, or just someone trying to be more present with your loved ones, you’re going to walk away from this episode with clarity on what matters most.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to succeed in business without losing sight of your family or your faith, this interview is living proof that you can. And not just that—you must.
