Leave the Pile Higher, Grow Your Legacy

In 1983, my father, a hardworking blue-collar worker, made a life-altering decision for our family. Faced with the choice of my education, he chose to send me to a private Catholic high school, despite the financial challenges. His reason was simple yet profound: “My job is to leave the pile higher for you and your sister.” This statement, a guiding principle of his life, didn't fully resonate with me until after his untimely passing in 2018. It's this legacy of selflessness and commitment that birthed 'Leave the Pile Higher: Grow Your Legacy'.

On what would have been my father's 75th birthday, I launched this podcast as an extension of his “Why”. Here, we explore the intangible aspects of legacy that go beyond monetary or material wealth. Each episode delves into stories of resilience, creativity, and how breaking societal scripts can lead to profound impacts on others.

Join us for heart-to-heart conversations with diverse guests who share their journeys of setbacks, triumphs, and unwavering hope. We discuss how small acts and bold decisions can contribute to a lasting legacy, proving that anyone can make a difference, no matter their financial or social standing.

'Leave the Pile Higher: Grow Your Legacy' isn't just a podcast; it's a movement, a tribute to my father and to all those who strive to make life better for the next generation. It's about acknowledging that while we can't control the length of our lives, we can control its width and depth.

Subscribe now and be part of this journey. Let’s honor the philosophy of leaving the pile higher, not just for ourselves, but for those who follow. Let's build.

I'm Bryan Savage and I’m passionate about more than just financial planning. I’m committed to helping others build legacies that truly matter. While financial legacies are important, I believe the intangible aspects—like the values, wisdom, and impact you leave behind—are just as crucial.

As a business mentor, I guide others in planning ahead to safeguard their financial futures and ensure they’re leaving behind something meaningful that resonates through generations. When I’m not mentoring or planning, you’ll find me out on my bike, enjoying the outdoors. I believe time in nature is essential for personal growth and staying connected to what matters.

I’m a devoted husband, father, and community leader, guided by my faith. The values I talk about aren’t just words—they’re the principles I live by every day.
My mission is simple: to help others create legacies that endure, inspire, and uplift—and to 'Leave the Pile Higher'.
