When people think about the legacies they leave behind for their families and communities after they pass away, many don’t think beyond financial wealth. Intrinsically, we know that a legacy should be so much more. Today’s guests specialize in finding the multidimensionality in legacy. Brandon Hatton is the president and CIO of Conscious Wealth®, an investment advisory firm rooted in the belief that money, when channeled correctly, can allow people to focus on what matters: a life of growth and fulfillment. Rehan Choudhry is the founder and CEO of Chptr, a digital platform that blends storytelling and multimedia to preserve memories in order to help communities commemorate milestones and honor loved ones. They discuss the human need to be remembered and the role of storytelling in connecting families and communities. This conversation unpacks profound questions about what essence of a person we can reliably hold onto when they pass on and how to go about capturing this in a world where people take for granted that we have more time.
