Today on the Servant Leadership Podcast, we welcome Bill High. Bill’s journey took him from poverty… to becoming a partner in a major law firm… to guiding some of the most influential families in the world on how to build a legacy.
Through his work with high‑net‑worth families at Legacy Stone and co‑authoring books with Hobby Lobby founder David Green, Bill has helped leaders see that the greatest measure of success isn’t networth—it’s how well you prepare your family to thrive for generations.
Join us, as Bill shares why family vision, mission, and values are the foundation for a generational mindset—and why true legacy is about what you set in motion, not just what you leave behind.
