282: How to Leave a Leadership Legacy

What does it really take to leave a legacy as a leader?

In this solo episode, Erin is coming in hot with a message that’s been on her mind for a while—one that’s part pep talk, part practical how-to: how to leave a real leadership legacy (and no, it’s not about working yourself to death or following every rule in the book).

From the awkwardness of admitting she left a legacy… to the specific things she did (and wishes she had done), this episode is packed with straight talk, strategic insight, and stories you’ll carry with you.

You’ll hear:

1.) Why Erin believes your legacy isn’t in the numbers—it’s in your people

2.) A behind-the-scenes look at the rule-breaking that actually paid off (even if it got her a slap on the wrist)

3.) The one thing most leaders forget to do—but makes all the difference

Erin’s 3-point checklist to make sure you’re building a legacy you can be proud of. No fluff. No fake humility. Just the truth about what works—and what matters.
