In this Legacy Connect, we hear the remarkable story of Bertie Lourens, founder of WastePlan - a man who went from chasing wealth to surrendering everything to God. From business failure to kingdom breakthrough, from pride to purpose, from control to calling, Bertie's story is one of radical obedience, divine redemption, and generational impact.
- What happens when you give 51% of your business to God?
- What does it look like to lead your family in faith and rhythm?
- How do you build a company on the whispers of the Holy Spirit instead of the wisdom of the world?
Legacy is more than a network; it’s a God-breathed invitation to build beyond business and lead with eternity in mind. We exist to encourage and equip men and women to shape a generational legacy that transcends the marketplace and fuels kingdom expansion.
Whether you're a CEO, creative, or just curious—this conversation will call you higher.
