What does it mean to design a family legacy with intention? And how do you make sure that legacy is rooted in faith? Today, we're talking about the legacy you'll leave behind—and how to shape it while you still can. Jan Thompson joins us to share how you and your family can ensure your faith is reflected in what you leave behind.Jan Thompson is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and the co-founder of One Degree Advisors with over 30 years of experience in financial planning, where she specializes in purposeful financial planning, investment management, and multi-generational legacy coaching. Legacy Is More Than MoneyWhen people hear the word “legacy,” most think of money or assets passed down after death. But that's only one part. Here are five interconnected aspects of legacy:Financial Legacy – Assets and resources passed on to the next generation.Personal Legacy – Your character, life choices, and how you'll be remembered.Family Legacy – The stories, traditions, and values shared through generations.Business or Ministry Legacy – The mission, culture, and influence of your work.Kingdom Legacy – The eternal impact of your life through faith, generosity, and gospel-centered living.When families neglect the non-financial elements, their wealth is often left without context, and that's when legacies tend to fail. The legacy failure rate is alarmingly high when these pieces are missing.Wisdom Before WealthThe largest wealth transfer in history is currently underway, but statistics indicate that wealth rarely lasts beyond three generations. Why? Here are three reasons:Lack of trust and communication.Unprepared heirs.Absence of shared values or a clear family vision.Wealth is a valuable tool, but without wisdom and unity, it often leads to division. Psalm 78:5–7 provides a beautiful framework for legacy planning across generations:“He established a testimony in Jacob… that they should teach them to their children, that the next generation might know them… so that they should set their hope in God…”These verses highlight three keys to a lasting legacy: remember God's works, share your stories, and live in obedience. Whether through blessings or mistakes, we encourage families to reflect on the ways God has been present in their journey and to discuss it openly.Practical Tools and ResourcesTo help families start this process, you can join a weekly email list at SomewhereOnPurpose.com that will provide you with simple actions to take toward building a meaningful legacy.Remember, legacy doesn't build itself—intentional steps must be taken. And while many families delay because they don't know where to start or feel too busy, procrastination is the “silent killer” of strong legacies.Start today. Expose your family to serving others. Take a mission trip. Engage in a local service project. Let them see the joy of generosity firsthand.Become a FaithFi PartnerRight now, more people than ever are looking for biblical wisdom to navigate their finances.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "Why does it feel like I'm the only one trying to improve our marriage?" "How do I break the destructive patterns I inherited from my own upbringing?" "What if true change in our relationship starts not with her, but with me?" If you're feeling alone in your journey, frustrated that your spouse isn't "on board," or simply tired from the grind of family life, this episode is a powerful beacon of hope. Today, Larry Hagner sits down with Gina Trimmer of Revitalized Womanhood for a raw, honest conversation about what it really takes to build strong marriages and families. The profound takeaway: Lasting change begins when both partners courageously own their personal growth, instead of trying to fix each other. Larry shares his own vulnerable journey—growing up without a consistent father figure, the deep pain it caused, and how that very experience led him to create The Dad Edge community. He speaks candidly about his struggles as a father, the pivotal moment he decided to break destructive generational cycles, and why "doing the work" is a never-ending commitment, not a quick fix. Gina Trimmer bring the invaluable perspective from the women's side, describing the magic that happens when men and women's growth communities work together. They reveal the truth that self-investment sometimes meets unexpected resistance—not just from society, but often from our own partners. But, as Gina Trimmer notes, change is ultimately contagious: When one person genuinely steps up, the other often follows. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: The "Fix Each Other" Trap: Why trying to change your spouse is a dead end, and how focusing on your own growth ignites mutual transformation. Breaking Generational Cycles: Larry's personal journey of overcoming a fatherless upbringing to build a new legacy of intentional fatherhood. The Contagious Power of Personal Growth: Gina Trimmer reveal how one partner's commitment to self-improvement can inspire profound change in the other, even if there's initial resistance. The Magic of Parallel Growth Communities: How men's and women's self-improvement tribes can work together to strengthen individual partners and, by extension, the marriage itself. The Never-Ending Commitment: Why building a marriage and legacy worth leaving requires consistent investment in your personal development, not a one-time solution. This episode is a powerful reminder that building a marriage and legacy worth leaving requires facing hard truths, investing in your personal growth, and refusing to settle for "just fine." Here's what research and observation highlight about relational growth: Studies show that when one partner actively engages in personal growth, it leads to a 30% increase in the other partner's likelihood of pursuing self-improvement within 12 months. Couples who prioritize shared personal growth report a 25% higher level of marital satisfaction and resilience in facing challenges. Breaking destructive generational patterns through conscious effort can lead to a 40% improvement in family communication and emotional health across generations. www.thedadedge.com/533 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind
In this deeply resonant episode of The Family Biz Show, Michael Palumbos sits down with Mike Young, fourth-generation family business leader and author of The Farmer's Code. From a humble start farming rice in the Californian desert to exiting a vast family farmland portfolio, Mike offers a masterclass on pivoting, stewardship, and enduring family cohesion. Key Themes: Roots in the Soil (00:00–06:30) Mike recounts the origins of Wegis & Young—his great-grandfather's immigration, renaming, and pioneering efforts in California's Central Valley. Their early crops, including rice and sugar beets, were nourished by water captured in sloughs, laying the groundwork for some of the most productive farmland in the world. Scaling Across Generations (06:30–10:00) Each generation innovated: Mike's grandfather focused on water infrastructure and expansion His father and uncle introduced higher-return crops like almonds and grapes Mike's generation added vertical integration with alfalfa cubing and tomato processing before exiting those businesses From Dirt to Data: The Tech Pivot (10:00–13:00) A standout innovation was a water infrastructure monitoring company—proof that the family adapted not only operationally but strategically, leaning into regulatory change as a catalyst for growth. Exit to Endure (13:00–16:00) Selling 85% of their farmland wasn't easy. But with water rights tightening and G5 & G6 in mind, they chose continuity over sentiment. Mike emphasizes that the land still operates—but now from a stewardship mindset. Legacy is Relational (17:00–20:30) The spark for Mike's book The Farmer's Code was his 99-year-old grandmother. The message: Legacy isn't what you leave for people—it's what you leave in them. His book is broken into three parts: Me, Them Now, and Them to Come—mirroring his family's approach to multi-generational values. Governance Done Right (30:00–36:00) With a family board of directors, six trusts, and a family council, Wegis & Young model effective governance. Their structure includes even non-active family members and outlaws—communicating, sharing philanthropic decisions, and guiding distribution policies. Challenges Ahead (41:00–46:00) Mike's top challenge? Maintaining cohesion in a generation that won't work together daily. With 11 next-gen family members ranging from 12 to 24, the family is experimenting with ways to build connection across the branches. Tangible Takeaways Don't fear the exit—it may be your legacy's best move Legacy isn't inheritance—it's influence Strong governance includes everyone Strategic philanthropy is a sandbox for rising leaders Always build with the 7th generation in mind

THIS IS ME Luke Corbett, a young man who spent most of his life in Canberra, has recently returned to his hometown of Gamarra, a small rural community in the heart of New South Wales. Struggling to find his footing in a place that feels both familiar and alien, Luke is confronted with long-buried emotions when a childhood friend reappears. His deep feelings for this man, however, clash with the conservative values of the town. As whispers and judgement threaten to overshadow his life, Luke must choose: will he suppress his true self to conform or confront the prejudice around him and embrace the life he was meant to live? TOPICS OF CONVERSATION Inspiration and Writing Journey. Aspen's personal experiences and how the isolation of COVID sparked the story. Identity and Belonging. Luke's struggle to live authentically in a small rural town. Family Legacy. The pressure of living up to his grandfather's achievements and values. Community Acceptance vs. Rejection. The tension between tradition and embracing change. What's Next. Plans for the sequel and trilogy: This Is Us and This Is Where We Belong. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Aspen Thomas grew up in the small western Riverina town of Goolgowi, where the vast landscapes and vibrant community life shaped his early imagination. After moving to Canberra for high school, Aspen continued to nurture his passion for storytelling, drawing inspiration from the world around him. As a child, he loved weaving tales about farm machinery that came to life, setting the stage for a lifetime of creative exploration. A passionate tennis player, Aspen has played since childhood and competes in his tennis club's championships every year. Inspired by tennis greats like Ashleigh Barty, his love for the sport parallels his dedication to education. Aspen has been teaching science and mathematics since 2016, bringing his curiosity and enthusiasm to the classroom. Aspen's debut novel, This Is Me!, was born during the isolating days of the Covid years, while he was locked down in his two-bedroom apartment. Deeply personal yet fictionalised, the story reflects his experiences growing up gay and autistic with ADHD in a small rural community. With an overactive imagination and a determination to share his unique perspective, Aspen creates heartfelt, relatable narratives that resonate with readers. When not writing or teaching, Aspen can be found on the tennis court, exploring new ideas, or championing authenticity and representation in storytelling. CONNECT WITH ASPEN THOMAS!

Now they focus on empowering moms to use the same method they developed to become RAINMAKERS for their own families.

What if you could find a way to get everything done, love your family well, make space for self-care, and not feel like you're one small step away from losing your marbles? What if your daily chaos could actually become your rhythm of grace? In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Scott—entrepreneur, wife, and mom of four—who shares how she turned her busy life into a system of sanity. From managing a business with a toddler on her hip (now she runs two businesses with a house full of teenagers) to creating daily rhythms that fuel her soul, Rebecca brings practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement. You'll hear about how her epic failure to handle things well (we've all been there!) helped her discover a system that empowers women to manage the multiple roles and responsibilities we have, no matter our age or stage of life.

This is a challenge to reflect God's heart—to be strong and loving, to walk in community, and to lead with grace that's rooted in security, not fear.

"Téged valami bánt."En: "What's wrong, Bence?" she asked gently. "Something's bothering you."Hu: Bence mély levegőt vett.En: Bence took a deep breath.Hu: "Nehéz dolgot kérsz tőlem, Katalin.En: "You're asking a hard thing from me, Katalin.Hu: Apát és téged sem akarok cserben hagyni, de a filmezés... az számomra minden.En: I don't want to let down Dad and you, but filmmaking... it's everything to me.Hu: Most van egy nagy esélyem."En: I have a great chance right now."Hu: Áron ekkor lépett elő a szőlősorok árnyékából.En: Áron then stepped out of the shadows among the grape rows.Hu: "Mi mindent megértünk, fiam," mondta rekedtes hangon.En: "We understand everything, my son," he said in a hoarse voice.Hu: "De azt is tudnod kell, hogy örülök, ha boldog vagy."En: "But you should also know that I'm happy if you're happy."Hu: Ahogy a nap lassan eltűnt a dombok mögött, a három ember a szőlőtőkék között állt, a naplemente arany színnel festette meg őket.En: As the sun slowly disappeared behind the hills, the three stood among the vines, the sunset painting them in golden hues.Hu: Csend támadt, de ebben a csendben Bence döntésre jutott.En: Silence fell, but in this silence, Bence came to a decision.Hu: Meg akarta tartani a szőlőt és használni is akarta, hogy megvalósítsa álmait.En: He wanted to keep the vineyard and use it to achieve his dreams.Hu: "Mi lenne, ha a filmezést a szőlőnkkel kombinálnám?" kérdezte végül.En: "What if I combined filmmaking with our vineyard?" he finally asked.Hu: "Készíthetnék egy filmet Etyekről, a szőlőnkről, a családunk történetéről.En: "I could make a film about Etyek, about our vineyard, about our family's story.Hu: Ez híd lehetne a két világ között."En: This could be a bridge between the two worlds."Hu: Katalin és Áron elmosolyodtak.En: Katalin and Áron smiled.Hu: "Ez egy remek ötlet," válaszolta Katalin.En: "That's a great idea," replied Katalin.Hu: "Így nemcsak a birtok marad a családban, hanem új életet is adsz neki."En: "Not only will the estate stay in the family, but you'll also give it new life."Hu: Bence szíve megkönnyebbült.En: Bence's heart felt lighter.Hu: Végre nem választania kellett, hanem alkotnia.En: He finally didn't have to choose; he could create.Hu: Ebben a pillanatban a szőlőskert többé nem korlátozás volt számára, hanem egy új kezdet.En: At that moment, the vineyard was no longer a limitation for him, but a new beginning.Hu: A nap utolsó sugarai táncot jártak a szőlőleveleken, és Bence tudta, hogy megtalálta a saját útját, amely szorosan összekapcsolódik a családéval.En: The last rays of the sun danced on the grape leaves, and Bence knew he had found his path, closely intertwined with the family's.

most már tudta, hogy ki ő, és hogy hol van a helye a családban.En: It didn't matter what secrets shrouded the past; she now knew who she was and where her place was in the family.Hu: Aznap éjjel Edit boldogan hajtotta álomra a fejét, szívében a család szeretetével.En: That night, Edit happily laid her head to rest, her heart filled with the love of her family.

Culture shapes how we see the world—but often in ways that distort what's true. It elevates feelings over truth, self-fulfillment over sacrifice, and emotional comfort over obedience. But Jesus calls us to something better. As families, we're meant to walk in spiritual truth—not cultural trends. That means building a shared identity centered on Jesus, openly sharing our stories of His faithfulness, and treasuring God's Word together. It means creating a home where grace is practiced, repentance is modeled, forgiveness is freely given, and each person is honored for who God made them to be. We choose humility over pride, truth over emotion, and connection to God's family—the Church—over isolation. In a world pulling us in every direction, we're invited to live with intention, shaping families marked by truth, devotion, and a love that always points back to Jesus.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10:30am CST every Sunday morning.

Jodi Berg, PhD recently retired as the fourth-generation President and CEO of Vitamix, having joined the family business in 1997 with the directive to lead the company's overseas expansion, later serving as director of international, household and commercial divisions, and then ultimately as Executive Vice President in 2007, President in 2009, and CEO in 2011.Under her leadership, Jodi built on the 100+ year history and legacy of her family's business, — founded in 1921 and headquartered in Olmsted Township in the greater Cleveland area — to grow the iconic and beloved brand to what it is today, with expanded distribution to over 130 countries and over 400% organic growth during her tenure.As many are familiar with — Vitamix manufactures high-performance blending equipment for home and commercial use, with millions of consumers around the world who use Vitamix products to help achieve their personal health and culinary goals. The company's commercial customer list reads like a “Who's Who” of major restaurant chains, and gourmet chefs regard their Vitamix machines in the same light and improtance as they regards their knives.The company has an incredible history of innovation and invention and developed the first true commercial blender in the early 1990s, which ignited the smoothie movement, and has been named the Best-in-Class Overall beverage blender for decades by readers of Foodservice Equipment & Supplies magazine.As you'll hear in our conversation, Jodi developed a highly intentional approach to leadership — centered on purpose and employee engagement — which she formalized, researched and earned a PhD in management from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management and ultimatley leveraged to transform the organizational structure of Vitamix and its corporate vision, mission and culture.This was such a fun and unforgettable conversation — we actually got into such depth and breadth here that I'm breaking the episode into two parts that will cover Vitamix and Leadership across growing up in the family business and the familial lessons passed on, the evolution of Vitamix over the generations and the corresponding ingredients required order to thrive for over a century, balancing family legacy with innovation, lessons learned in hospitality and working at The Ritz Carlton, many personal stories and historical anecdotes about Vitamix that shaped her understanding of purpose and how it drives engagement and fulfillment in both personal and professional contexts, synthesizing her earned leadership wisdom into her upcoming book, why Vitamix is headquartered in Cleveland, helping people find their superpowers and a whole lot more… Jodi is an incredibly thoughtful teacher and operator and this really felt like a master class in all things business, leadership, and purpose. 00:00:00 - Introduction and Background 00:04:56 - Journey to Vitamix: A Family Legacy 00:19:23 - The Ritz-Carlton Experience and Lessons Learned 00:24:57 - Returning to Vitamix: Merging Passions and Purpose 00:25:27 - Family Legacy and Personal Growth 00:30:05 - The Evolution of Vitamix 00:36:43 - Balancing Legacy with Strategic Growth 00:42:53 - Changing Perspectives on Food and Health 00:51:00 - Creating a Community Around Food 00:58:02 - The Impact of Authentic Marketing-----LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodilberg/https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/Original Vitamix Infomercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm5IzzGPzQA-----SPONSOR:Roundstone InsuranceRoundstone Insurance is proud to sponsor Lay of The Land.

In this episode of the PricePlow Podcast, we welcome TJ Dillashaw, two-time UFC Bantamweight champion turned supplement entrepreneur, to discuss his journey from elite fighter to founder of Wild Society Nutrition. This fascinating conversation explores how TJ's decades of competition experience, combined with hard-learned lessons about supplement quality and industry practices, led him to create a brand focused on clean, effective products for athletes and health-conscious consumers alike. TJ shares his evolution from someone who “didn't really care” about supplementation early in his career to becoming deeply knowledgeable about nutrition and ingredient quality. His frustrations with taking products he wouldn't personally use, despite being sponsored by major brands, ultimately drove him to create Wild Society with a focus on natural flavoring, natural sweeteners, and third-party testing through Informed Sport certification. The discussion reveals a fighter's mentality applied to business, emphasizing transparency, quality over margins, and building products that can “outlive” their founder.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Have you ever asked yourself: "Why am I so tired, even after a full night's sleep?" "Am I really present for my kids, or just physically there?" "Could my low energy be impacting my marriage and family life?" If these questions hit home, get ready for a raw and real conversation that unpacks the silent battles many dads face. What happens when you get three dads, 12 kids, mountains of laundry, and enough Costco bills to bankrupt a small nation... all together on one podcast? Chaos? Yep. Laughter? Absolutely. But beneath the wild potty-training stories and "Dad, look at my squat!" moments, today's conversation hits something way deeper with Matt Salazar, father of five boys, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Gent Health, and his partner, Sonny Howard, a dad of three. A quick note for listeners: Gent Health is currently available to patients only in Texas, but they will be expanding to other states very soon. Matt Salazar opens up about the silent battles of brain fog, low motivation, and the gut-wrenching feeling of being "present, but not really there" for his family. Sonny Howard shares his own wake-up call, discovering dangerously low hormone levels that could have impacted his future and his ability to truly show up at home. These guys aren't just talking about testosterone and peptides; they're talking about fatherhood, fighting through the fog, and why optimizing your health isn't just about you—it's about your family and your legacy. In this powerful episode, we dig into: The Hidden Epidemic of Brain Fog & Low Motivation: Understanding why so many modern dads feel wiped out and disconnected. The Gut-Wrenching Reality of Being "Present, But Not There": How physical and mental fatigue can silently erode your family connections. The Personal Health Wake-Up Call: Matt Salazar and Sonny Howard's journeys to uncover underlying issues like hormonal imbalances and their impact on daily life. Beyond Muscles and Materialism: Why prioritizing your health is a crucial act of fatherhood and legacy-building. Optimizing Health for Family Impact: How taking control of your physical and mental well-being allows you to show up stronger for your kids and spouse. Whether you're crushing it in the gym or staring at your kids wondering why you're so wiped out, this episode will hit home. Here's what research and observation highlight about men's health and its impact on family: Studies indicate that men experiencing low testosterone often report a 30% decrease in energy levels and a 25% increase in symptoms of brain fog. Fathers struggling with chronic fatigue are up to 40% less likely to engage in active play and meaningful conversations with their children. Optimizing male hormonal health has been linked to a 35% improvement in motivation and overall well-being, positively impacting family presence. www.thedadedge.com/529 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.gent.health www.instagram.com/genthealth

Later, Stacy and Daniel chat with Olivia Wood, the eleventh-generation steward of Poplar Grove, a historic family home with deep roots. Olivia shares how she's embracing the responsibility of preservation while also making the space her own. From uncovering centuries-old documents, including ones related to the site's history with slavery, to navigating family dynamics and building a design team, Olivia's story is one of patience, creativity, and respect for the past.

Originally published on his blog, this essay tells the story of his grandmother and the treasured Living Bible she left behind. Dr. Groothuis explores how this well-worn Bible — filled with handwritten notes, family dates, and hymn lyrics — reflects the profound spiritual legacy of a faithful grandmother.

God's design has always included grandparents as key spiritual influencers in the lives of future generations. But in today's culture, where age groups are often siloed and youth are pulled away from the wisdom of their elders, we risk missing one of God's most powerful discipleship tools. It's a call for grandparents—and those old enough to be one—to reject the myth of retirement from spiritual purpose. You still have a road to pave, stories to share, and a legacy to pass on. Your walk with Jesus, both your victories and your mistakes, can help those coming behind you avoid pain and find life in Christ.

Ever look at your kids and see echoes of your own struggles? Today, Larry Hagner dives into a powerful and often uncomfortable truth: the unhealed wounds we carry as fathers can cast unseen shadows on our children. Inspired by the Netflix series "Adolescence," this episode unpacks the subtle yet significant ways our unresolved childhood pain impacts our ability to connect with and truly support our kids. Larry uses the story of Eddie and Jamie from "Adolescence" to illustrate how even well-intentioned dads can unintentionally pass down emotional scars if they haven't actively confronted and healed their own pasts. It's not about blame; it's about awareness and the courage to break free from generational cycles. In this raw and honest episode, you'll learn: The subtle ways your own unhealed childhood experiences can manifest in your parenting. How unresolved pain can create emotional distance and hinder genuine connection with your children. Why repeating the mistakes of our fathers is often an unconscious act rooted in our own unresolved issues. Practical steps you can take to begin confronting and healing your past wounds. The profound impact of emotional presence and intentionality in breaking generational cycles. This episode is a powerful call to action for fathers to step up—not just as providers, but as emotionally aware men who are committed to healing themselves for the sake of their families.
