Your Digital Legacy Is Already Writing Itself

Most people won’t inherit wealth, but everyone will inherit a narrative.

The question is: Will the internet tell the truth about you, or just what it can find?

Your digital legacy isn’t just about what you post — it’s about what endures when you’re not in the room.

That story is being written right now by:

• What you stand for (and what’s obvious online)
• Who you serve (and what they say about you)
• The patterns that repeat across your timeline
• And the impact you prove, not just promise.

The tip from my AI: Start answering the questions before someone else answers for you.
