To celebrate the 100th episode of Cruise Control, Kevin Davis sits down with the wise and wildly entertaining Ray Sanders—a seasoned executive, pastor, entrepreneur, and all-around life philosopher. Together, they dive deep into purpose, legacy, burnout, faith, family, and what it really means to build a life worth remembering. Ray shares powerful insights on how to navigate transition, find fulfillment beyond hustle, and live in alignment with your true calling. This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a masterclass on how to build a life that matters.

Key Takeaways

1. Legacy doesn’t start at retirement—it starts right now.
   If you're thinking about your legacy, you're already behind. Every choice you're making today builds it.
2. Busyness is often a mask for brokenness.
   Many people hide behind hustle to avoid dealing with what’s really going on inside.
3. You can’t build something lasting without anchoring to purpose.
   Business success means little if it’s not aligned with who you are and why you’re here.
4. Faith isn’t a part of your life—it’s the whole framework.
   Ray emphasizes that faith is the lens through which all decisions should be made.
5. If your calendar and your checkbook were sermons, what would they preach?
   Where you spend your time and money tells the real story of your values.
6. You don't age out of influence—you just level up.
   Whether you're 25 or 65, your wisdom and presence matter to someone coming up behind you.
7. A life well-lived leaves a ripple, not just a resume.
   The way you treat others and the relationships you build outlive any title.
8. Clarity comes from quiet, not chaos.
   You won’t find your purpose in a rush—you’ll find it in stillness and intentional reflection.
9. Men in leadership often confuse identity with role.
   You’re not just your title, your business, or your success. You’re much more—and it’s time to reconnect with that.
10. The dash between the birthdate and death date is where legacy is written.
    Ray’s final reminder: what will your dash mean to the people you love, serve, and lead?
