Legacy - Families & Organizations

The way we carry legacy shapes not only our families, but also the cultures of our organizations.

What carries your legacy — an object, a song, a place… or the people you invest in?

Last night we celebrated my wife’s birthday and our anniversary. A gifted guitarist stood in the bed of my dad’s old Scottsdale and played for over three hours — great covers we all got to savor (you can see some of the performance & morning after here: https://lnkd.in/gi6Wusk2).

He closed the evening — by pure coincidence — with Neil Young’s “Old Man.” And in that moment, the truck wasn’t just metal. It became a stage — carrying music, laughter, and generations of memory.

This Scottsdale has lived many lives with us. My wife and I drove it on our honeymoon through San Miguel, Dolores Hidalgo, and Querétaro. I taught our son to drive in it at 11 years old on the ranch in Mexico. Four years ago, I brought it back to life with fuel injection and a new transmission. And now, it carries a new role — a bridge between past and present.

Legacy isn’t only what we inherit. It’s what we choose to keep alive — in our families, and in our organizations. For companies, legacy shows up in how they honor, support, and grow their people. Especially LatAm and Hispanic hires learning to find their place in U.S. Corporate culture.

👉 What about you — how does your organization carry its legacy forward with the people who will shape its future?

If you’re curious about how this applies to your organization, let’s talk.

Legacy is too important to leave unspoken — in families, in leadership, in how we carry one another forward.
