Legacy Beyond Wealth

Alex Bean has crafted a powerful narrative that resonates deeply with those of us at the intersection of success and legacy. What struck me most was the emphasis on creating a legacy that is rooted in goodness, a concept that aligns perfectly with the idea of starting an ‘Impact Score’ for your family. Just as we measure success in business, Bean challenges us to measure the good we leave behind. The lessons in this book are not just for entrepreneurs but for anyone seeking to make their prosperity meaningful and enduring.
