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.

From Advocacy to Entrepreneurship: James Worthy's Journey of Impact and Leadership
Today's guest is James Worthy, and no, I'm not referring to the NBA legend, although he's certainly a standout in his own right. James is an advocate, public speaker, extraordinary fatherhood mentor, and accomplished entrepreneur.
James is not only a community leader but also a devoted athletic coach, driven by a deep commitment to serving others. He firmly believes that the road to success is paved through unity and collaboration. Join us as we explore the intangible aspects of crafting a enduring legacy and making a profound positive impact on people's lives.
In this episode, you'll gain valuable insights into the significance of fatherhood, the potency of belief, and the transformative influence of unity and service. James Worthy's journey serves as a testament to the notion that we can all leave a lasting legacy, irrespective of our backgrounds, circumstances, or fraternity affiliations (an inside joke between himself, a Brother of Omega Psi Phi, and myself, a Brother of Alpha Phi Alpha).
Tune in for inspiration, wisdom, and laughter that will leave you motivated to take proactive steps in your own life journey.
