In this second episode of Dear Legacy, I’m breaking down 5 hard truths I’ve learned from chasing a dream while being a full-time dad, husband, and working professional.

After that AI check in Episode 1, this time we’re getting into what it really looks like to build something for yourself while holding it down for everybody else.
