Chris Cochran

I'm still trying to lead that purposely driven life. But I think once we live with acceptance, we strive for optimism, remain humble, even in the face to despair, we are lunging forward. We are actually moving to better ground. I think when you check on others, you nurture others, other human connections, stay living mindfully all the time. And I think a big thing is strive for empathy.

Honor your connections, show love, open your heart. Christian always used to say to me, Most of all, don't take life too seriously. And so there's plenty of things. I think the other thing, negative thoughts come into our brain all the time. I'm sure they do for you too. And I still have those things. I have flashbacks to these particular moments.

whether it was at the end of Christian's life, all kinds of different things in between, which he was surrounded by his loved ones in his house together. I karate chop those things. I karate chop everything that comes into my head that puts me in a place that's negativity. That's the point of finding purpose too, right? We're all seeking to find purpose in this life, right?

Some of us haven't found it yet. We're We're on that constant merry-go-will of just trying to make things happen. But I think pausing is important because pausing really allows me to meet life with grace and see beyond pain and find peace. gratitude in the present. That space, you can genuinely find really great things. I can get down, but I get back up really fast.

So I think it's a matter of pushing yourself through these things and understanding, of course, to be grateful, of course, but pausing to understand in your daily life.

Legacy means love. It means the love you want to continue to put out into the world. So I hope that I can continue to do what I'm doing so that I could leave a legacy. I think leading by example is part of a legacy fulfilled because I've switched gears, right? I'm a corporate CEO. I sit on the board for a public company. I'm busy on that side, but does it really bring me passion? Mm-mm.

What brings me the most passion is to build legacies where it's filled with love and the gratitude, right? And so I think creating random acts of kindness, whether it's to strangers, loved ones, that's, I think, what legacy is all about.

Absolutely. I mean, I think that's the greatest form of giving, right? The greatest form of giving is to give without asking for anything in return. A lot of times, you know, when I first got started in the Legacy Fund and Christian Cochran Legacy Fund and all this stuff, I was just wanting to bring awareness. Now, this awareness has done amazing things, right? I have people down in Tennessee.

I have people in Florida that... heard the story and said, can you get me? You know, we have wristbands that say what's good about today. We have stickers, things like that. I just get them and I want people to have them. You know, I want them to constantly be reminded of and they go to festivals and they set up stands on their own. I'm not even a part of this.

So there's people who who who are doing things with that message on their own, which is great. I'm all for it. So to me, that's all part of the legacy. It's about and it's to build a legacy. You got to connect the dots.
