Living With Legends: The Simple Yet Exceptional Life of My Grandpa

You’ll have to excuse the background noise, I’m driving past a cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. (LOTS OF TRAFFIC, YES!) But the cemetery got me thinking about the legacy of my late Grandpa Nead. I want you to think about those in your life that inspire you as you listen to this episode. There’s power in recognizing those that have gone before us because someone like my Grandpa Nead wasn’t “special.” He is one of the most successful men in my eyes, but generally speaking, he doesn’t have any accomplishments professionally or a fancy business title.

Grandpa Nead was born into a family of musicians. In a way he was raised as an only child. His family was always trying to make ends meet. Grandpa Nead only had an 8th grade education when he started working. (The most memorable story I heard was when he worked as a tugboat captain.) He later had five children, lived on a farm, rebuilt from the ground up when his family’s house burned down… and wow, looking through photos and talking to people at his funeral you suddenly shave off any title attached to him as a person. He created posterity and left an example of living a simple yet exceptional life.

“Don't get caught up in 'earthly success', pursue that, but do so hand in hand with being present and putting time into your family. Because that is what's going to be remembered by the people who love you the most.” - Dallin Nead
