Have you thought about what you’d like said at your funeral? Stick with me here, this isn’t an episode about contemplating your death. In this episode, Greg and I want to encourage you to begin with the end in mind, and live as the type of leader that you picture yourself being remembered as.

• [0:15] Hang with us on this one: We’d like you to take a moment to think about your funeral. 
• [3:15] We could think of our own epitaph like we’re building a house.
• [4:14] Greg asks me what I would like on my epitaph.
• [6:00] We aren’t talking about planning our funeral, but about doing lasting and beneficial things with “the dash” between our birth date and our death date.
• [9:20] There is a leadership caution when we’re thinking about this topic.
• [10:21] Greg has been thinking about one word that could sum up his life.
• [13:31] Here’s what we need to live for today.
• [15:41] I give an example of someone whose character and reputation didn’t align.
• [18:09] I brag on something special Greg does for others.
• [20:54] How do leaders get beyond themselves?
• [24:05] We need to be living our leadership story every single day.
