How Can You Make Your Legacy Better? with Wesley Rowlands
Sat Feb 07 2026
Successful individuals and families don’t always fail financially—they can also fracture relationally, structurally, and purposefully, and no amount of wealth can fix what design was meant to prevent.
Many high-achievers build assets without building alignment, leaving their relationships and next generations rich in capital but poor in clarity, unity, and direction. Without continuous and honest conversations about one's values in the context of 'legacy design', wealth can become all consuming instead of a tool to a much larger 'legacy vision', creating conflict over time, entitlement, and intimacy drift.
Too many individuals also mistake estate planning for legacy planning, solving for financial capital while ignoring the other forms of capital: emotional, spiritual, human, etc, for meaning and connection. In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Wesley Rowlands about front loading the difficult conversations so as to be one step ahead of the hidden risks of what can come with financial wealth, where outward success outpaces personal development, balance and stewardship of one's health. Tune in as Wesley reveals why true legacy isn’t inherited—it’s designed, intentional, and built long before it’s transferred thru choices, words and values.
