Mother's Story- A recipe to ensure it doesn't disappear
15 years ago, Marilyn Norry challenged women actors to write the facts of their mother’s life. She then turned those stories into a stage play.

Starting with your Mother.” It will help every woman take stock of their mother’s legacy. At the end of this conversation Marilyn will give you what you need to get started. And yes, wherever your mother is… she’ll help. Get th...

#29 Ken Dychtwald's landmark study on legacy and aging
What is the lasting gift of Legacy? And - who’s giving that gift? Or not bothering at all? My guest in the Legacy Café is Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave and internationally recognized author and gerontologist. He recently released a landmark study on legacy and aging as a research project with Bank 0f America/Merrill Lynch. In the study titled, “Leaving a legacy. A lasting gift to loved ones”, Ken discovered that 82% of us will likely be remembered with the phrase: “Well, you left a heckuva mess.” Not good! Turns out 94% of the 3000 p...

#28 AARP: Disrupting Our Lives and Legacies
Boe Workman argues that many of us 50+ are living a revolution… determined to leave our mark on the world. "We want to disrupt the traditional aging process so we can spark new solutions that will allow us to live the best life we can." Yes, we want to be more independent, with more intimacy and fun, And yes, more legacy building. We want to lead a richer, more self-sufficient life as we age. But (and it's a big 'but'), are we constrained by a cultural view that aging means deterioration and dependence? Boe is the Di...

#28 Financially Blessed? Live and Leave a Transformational Legacy
As a listener to The Legacy Café, you know that a ‘Legacy’ is so much more than money and ‘stuff’ handed down to the kids. But - many are blessed with more resources than they need to lead a happy life. With that comes questions: Are children and grandchildren prepared for the responsibility? Have family dynamics prevented you from having the tough conversations? Will your business thrive under the next generation of leadership? Mostly, do you have an intentional, proactive plan to create a thriving, inspiring Legacy? Join Jeff Rogers as Robb asks him about...

#27 The New Story Creators....Your Kids!
When a young person looks at a picture on the wall and asks parents and grandparents “Who is that?”, they’ll be off on a journey that will benefit them thru their lives. With a little encouragement, the research and writing of the story of an unknown relative can ignite the imagination and light the fire of ‘social history’; the stories of those who came before us, and our personal relationship with them. The act of finding and telling those stories can be the Trojan horse to change school’s normally boring social studies courses; create bette...

#26 FACT: Family Stories Build Resilient Children
What’s the secret for a happy family? They talk. A lot. Dr. Marshall Duke, a renowned psychologist, is my guest on this remarkable podcast episode. In a research project at Emory University, he created the Do You Know Scale, which asked children 20 Do You Know questions about their family and its history. The results were quite surprising. Turns out the children who knew more about their family's history had higher levels of self-esteem, lower levels of anxiety, were much better at facing challenges, and a whole lot more.

#25 Your Family's Legacy? Only 1% Will Be Memorable
A Conversation with Steve Marken President of the Stewardship Council So, you’ve got some resources you’d like to distribute through your estate plan? You call them your ‘Legacies’. But when you define them, do they give you fulfillment and joy Now? Do you smile as you think how they’ll affect the future? According the Steve, 99% of family estates don’t incorporate any part of the family’s story, values, goals and characters that give the legacies you want to create the richness they deserve.

#24 Genealogy: Finding Truths and Family Weirdos
Do you know where your great grandparents came from? Or what they did to live? Or where their kids went and what they did? You might consider becoming a junior genealogist like me. Genealogy? The dictionary says it’s “a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor”. I knew my great grandparents came from Ireland… but that’s all I knew. Working with a genealogist for 15 minutes I learned they landed in Halifax in 1869, the name of their ship, and the names of the seven kids they brought with them. And as we followe...

#23 Attention Grandparents! Share the wisdom of the ages
Starting his career in the early 1900’s, my grandpa was a cowboy, a champion curler, and a beer salesman. But I never learned any of his stories, or wisdom. I spent some time with him in the 60’s, but I was too young to ask: “Grandpa, what do you believe in? What advice would you give me?” 75 yr. old grandpa, John Boden, won’t let the opportunity to talk to his grandchildren escape. He’s ensuring they hear his wisdom, ideas, opinions and stories. He wants to stir their young minds so they become a little wiser...

#22 The Core of StoryCorps
I had a brilliant idea once. Put up an ‘interview tent’ in a busy city and invite passers-by to come in and tell their stories. I didn’t do it.

Their Mission? Preserve and share humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. Join me in this energ...

#20 Be a better leader, and the legacies will follow
N 1982 Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner set out to understand those times when leaders performed their personal best. What emerged were five fundamental practices common to extraordinary leadership. Great leaders model the way, share their vision, challenge the process, enable others… and encourage the heart. And that kind of leadership leads to extraordinary legacies. But first, what’s a leader look like? What do they exhibit? And do all of us have leadership potential? (This one surprised me). Join Jim and I… for even this chat will make us better...

#18 So, What's the Story of This Shrapnel?
My father was nearly killed by a piece of shrapnel long before he landed on France’s beaches. The bomb landed next door, the shrapnel embedded itself in the wall, just above his head. Dad looked at that shrapnel as good luck and put it in his kit bag. I grew up with that shrapnel in the living room. Dad had it mounted with the words “Close Call. Aldershot, England, 1942”. But until only a few years ago I didn’t know its story, so I asked him, and he told me. Want your storyteller’s tales? Ask...

#9 Creating Your Legacies for the Future
Imagine that, centuries ago, you were laying a stone for a building that will take 50, 100, 150 years to complete. You won’t be alive when it’s finished. And those who will lay the final stones aren’t even born yet. But you know everything you do now will have a long-term impact. You enjoy laying each stone… knowing generations in the future will thank you for starting with that first brick. Your generation works today, but is tethered to the future. “Cathedral Thinking” is ambitious, long term thinking. Cathedral Thinking will take that first step towards a bri...

#6 Does Your Family Tree Need Nourishment?
In the film National Treasure 2, Nicolas Cage’s character said, “Everything I am is because of my ancestors.” Now, was he looking at his family tree… or listening to some family stories? When you say ‘family tree’, that’s Genealogy, tracing the history of your family. These are the hard, cold facts: names, birth and death dates, places, and events like marriage and divorces. And then we ask: does Genealogy help us find those memorable family history stories? Legacy stories that delight us and our descendants years from now? When we find interesti...

What truly matters in their lives was now on paper. You might call your Legacy Letter the “voice of my heart.” Or think of it as a love letter to your family. Every Legacy Letter is as unique as the person writing it. What can be in it? Your values. Hopes and blessings for future generations. Life’s lessons. Love and forgiveness. You can find much mo...
