This week’s episode features an inspiring and vulnerable conversation with Chris Bjorling—business leader, Scout volunteer, church community member, and, above all, a legacy-builder in every part of his life.
Whether you missed our full conversation or want to soak up the key insights, here are three powerful discussion points and one big takeaway that will inspire you to serve, lead, and leave your own lasting legacy.
🔑 3 Key Discussion Points
1️⃣ Legacy Across Life’s Arenas
Chris shared how legacy isn't confined to career milestones. His work with Fidello, dedication to the Boy Scouts, and active role in his church are all connected. He emphasized how our experiences in one area of life can transfer meaningfully to others.
2️⃣ The Ripple Effect of Small Actions
From mentoring Scouts to creating frameworks at work, Chris showed how everyday actions can spark long-term impact, often beyond what we see. He recalled a college project that unexpectedly influenced an entire community years later, reminding us that our smallest contributions often reach further than we imagine.
3️⃣ The Fulfillment of Giving Back
For Chris, fulfillment comes from lifting others up. Whether it's nurturing future leaders, supporting a friend, or watching his children thrive, he finds joy in service.
He even jokes that service can feel “selfish”—because it fills you as you pour into others.
🧭 Main Takeaway
Our greatest impact is often invisible to us—but unforgettable to others.
By reflecting on your own legacy and choosing to serve—at work, at home, and in your community—you unlock a powerful and lasting sense of fulfillment. Legacy isn’t built through grand gestures alone. It’s shaped in everyday moments of kindness, mentorship, and quiet leadership.
