Legacy Lives In Your Tuesday Morning Choices

Published 2025-11-06 09-10

Summary

Writing Legacy Found taught me that real legacy isn’t monuments or money – it’s Tuesday morning choices when nobody’s watching. It’s daily decisions to show up differently.

The story

I just finished writing Legacy Found, and honestly, it changed me as much as I hope it changes readers.

Here’s what I learned while writing Julius’s story: we spend so much time chasing the wrong version of success. We think legacy is this grand thing we leave behind when we’re gone – some monument or fortune. But that’s not it at all.

Legacy is what you do Tuesday morning when nobody’s watching. It’s the conversation you have with someone who’s struggling. It’s choosing to change your thinking even when it’s uncomfortable.

Julius starts out as this guy living on autopilot – mediocre marriage, disconnected from his kids, just going through the motions. Then his father dies, and everything he thought mattered starts falling apart. That’s when he meets Mitchell, and everything shifts.

Mitchell doesn’t hand him some magic formula. He just asks better questions. He challenges Julius to see that transformation isn’t reserved for people who have their lives together. It’s available to anyone willing to unlearn old beliefs and put in the work.

Writing this book taught me that mentorship isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about helping someone see possibilities they couldn’t see before. And that real change comes from self-education, new habits, and persistent action – not motivation or inspiration.

The most surprising part? Julius’s transformation doesn’t happen because of some dramatic event. It happens because he decides, day after day, to show up differently. To be intentional. To build something that matters.

That’s the legacy we’re all creating right now, whether
