In this reflective monologue, the speaker— a four‑time bestselling author of four books— contemplates the legacy he wishes to leave for his future grandchildren. He explicitly rejects the notion that material wealth, business achievements, or societal expectations should define how he is remembered. Instead, he emphasizes spending quality time, listening deeply, and creating memorable, loving experiences. He urges listeners to consider their own legacies, advocating that true impact comes from authentic living, deep love, and fostering a society driven by love rather than greed, anger, hate, or fear. The talk serves both as a personal declaration and a call to action for others to prioritize love and genuine connection over conventional measures of success.
Chapters
I have been thinking about what I want my grandchildren to remember about me once I am gone, and it's a lot different to what I thought it would be. I have written 4 books, I'm 4 times bestselling author. There's so many great things I could say I want my grandkids to remember me by, but you know what I want them to remember me by? As the person who spent a lot of time in their life, spending time giving them quality time, sitting down, listening intensely to them, and giving them special times to remember in every way and form so that they remember me for the person I am, not the wallet I had, not the businesses I created or anything like that. I want them to remember me for the guy that came into their life that had the most impact, touched them so deeply, taught them to love deeply, live beautifully, and do the most amazing things in their life and not follow societal norms. So many people follow all these societal norms of what you must do or have to do. You don't have to do anything. In fact, the most important thing is doing what is true to you. And I really want them to remember that, take that forward in every way and form. And I want you to think about, What legacy you gonna leave for your grandchildren? What are you legacy— are you leaving already for your grandchildren, whatever it might be? For me, it's deeply meaningful that they know that they are loved, that they are deeply connected, and that I'll leave this planet and they will go on and take that message forward and create a society where love drives everything, not greed, not anger, not hate, not fear, but love.
