Who you are at home is the real legacy you leave behind.
This episode is for the leader who’s mastered building teams, scaling companies, and driving results, but wonders what their family will remember most. Leadership isn’t just what happens in the boardroom. It’s how you show up at the dinner table, in conversations with your kids, and in the quiet moments of life at home.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
- Reframe leadership beyond business results to the relationships that matter most.
- Recognize the gap between presence and perfection (and why presence is what lasts).
- Create a family mission, vision, and values that guide more than just your career.
- Model intentional living so your legacy is carried forward in how others love and lead.
- Lead with the same clarity at home that you bring to your company.
We intentionally made this a special episode, as Kirk talks with his three daughters and their husbands about leadership at home. You'll hear deep, meaningful reflections from their childhood, including learnings from challenging experiences such as divorce and the loss of two babies. And you'll leave encouraged with a mission to reflect with purpose to be the leader you're called to be.
