Have you ever stopped to think about the legacy you’ll leave behind?
For entrepreneurial families, legacy is about far more than financial success. It’s about the story behind the wealth. The risks taken, the turning points, the values that guided each decision, and the purpose that cements it all together.
Documenting your family history brings your stories to life, preserving not just names and dates, but the challenges, triumphs, lessons and defining moments that shape who you are - and that future generations can learn from.
In this episode of the Purpose of Wealth, host Narelle Hooper sits down with archivist and historian Dr Stella Barber and explores why capturing your family story matters, how to preserve it in meaningful ways, and how it can strengthen identity, connection and purpose across generations.
