Your Voice on Record: Why Every Business Leader Should Film a Legacy Interview

As a business leader, you’ve likely spent years shaping your company, cultivating relationships, and building a reputation. But have you ever paused to consider how your story, values, and vision will be shared with those who follow in your footsteps? One of the most powerful ways to leave a lasting impact is through a legacy interview—a video or audio recording that captures not just your accomplishments but also the deeper motivations, lessons, and experiences that shaped your journey.

A legacy interview serves as both personal reflection and practical guidance. It provides an opportunity to articulate your leadership philosophy, recount the challenges you’ve faced, and share the strategies and principles that helped you succeed. By passing these insights along, you create a roadmap for your successors—whether they are family members, employees, or future business leaders. They gain a window into not only the mechanics of running the business but also the values and intentions that have driven its growth.

Beyond strategy, a legacy interview is an emotional and educational gift. It humanizes your leadership, showing that the success of a business is rooted in relationships, perseverance, and thoughtful decision-making. Sharing stories about moments of triumph, failure, or unexpected learning experiences gives depth and authenticity to the company’s history. It reinforces your organization’s culture by passing down the principles that have guided your team and shaped the work environment. Your voice, your insights, and your lessons become part of the living memory of the organization, inspiring and guiding those who follow.

Recording your legacy ensures that your story isn’t lost over time. It provides a tangible, enduring resource for future generations, helping them understand the “why” behind the “what.” More than a historical record, it’s a tool for continuity, mentorship, and inspiration. By choosing to document your journey, you create a bridge between past, present, and future, allowing your leadership and values to remain active even when you’re no longer at the helm.

A legacy interview is more than a recording—it’s an investment in the people and principles that will carry your work forward. It’s your chance to leave a meaningful, lasting impression that goes beyond profits and achievements, shaping the hearts and minds of the leaders who follow.
