How to Create Lasting Change and Leave a Legacy, with Wayne Elsey of Funds2Orgs

If you know me, you know I've created a decades-long career in the shoe business, including as a global social entrepreneur. During my work, I've learned a lot about shoes, such as how they're made. But I've also learned something more essential: How shoes can tell many stories. For instance, I remember an older man many years ago who received the first pair of shoes he had ever worn from my team. I'll never forget that amazing smile, and that's become my part of leaving a legacy.


Many years ago, I realized that anyone and everyone can leave a legacy. In other words, we can each leave our imprint in this world and especially in the lives of the people in our world. It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind. It's also easy to spend your time making sure we meet our goals and metrics at work to provide for our families. I've also experienced it in the years of my career, including my shift to social impact. Still, life's not all about a job. It's about what continues to thrive when you're not present.
