You Think It Doesn’t Matter Now. It Does. | Morgan Ranstrom on Time, Compounding & Legacy

Prompted by a powerful clip from John Candeto, Morgan and Matt explore how time serves as the ultimate filter — for ideas, relationships, art, and legacy. Together they unpack the meaning of right living, the responsibility of generational impact, and how we can each live with intention today to shape the world of tomorrow.
