In this very special episode of The Kelly Roach Show, we’re pulling back the curtain on an unforgettable day that sparked inspiration, connection, and legacy-building for generations to come. 

Earlier this year, Kelly teamed up with Sandi Glandt to host the first-ever South Florida Live Podcasting Event – an experience that brought together powerhouse women, their children, and families for candid conversations on life, leadership, and living your legacy now.

This episode is packed with heart, humor, and practical wisdom as Kelly and Sandy are joined by their kids on stage, sharing real-life lessons on business, motherhood, time management, and the importance of exposing the next generation to the mindset of abundance and possibility.

If you’re a business owner, a parent, or simply someone who wants to create a meaningful impact with your life, this episode is for you.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

  • How to merge family, business, and legacy seamlessly—without compromising what matters most

  • Breaking the old paradigm of legacy—why legacy isn’t what you leave behind, but what you live every day

  • The ripple effect of including your kids in your business journey—from attending events to learning about money, investing, and entrepreneurship

  • The real truth about “doing it all” as a mom, business owner, and leader—and why giving yourself grace (and flexibility) is the secret to longevity

  • Raising kids with an abundance mindset—the mantra Kelly and Sandy teach their kids: It’s never a no, it’s a “How are we going to make it happen?”

  • Practical time management and productivity tips for high-achieving moms—why some days are heavy on work, and others are all about family, and that’s okay

  • The importance of community and connection for women in business—and how the relationships you build today can change your life tomorrow

  • Why your imperfections matter more than your perfection—and how embracing authenticity will create stronger impact in the AI age

This episode will inspire you to:

✨ Reimagine your legacy as something you build now—not later.
✨ Invite your kids (or loved ones) into your business journey and plant seeds of possibility early.
✨ Release the pressure of perfection and focus on what matters most.
✨ Build a faith-filled, family-first empire that creates wealth, impact, and joy for generations to come.

In today’s powerful case study, Kelly sits down with longtime Legacy Leaders client, John Briggs, founder of a tax and accounting firm with over 250 team members.

If you're stuck in a cycle of burnout, constantly hustling without making real progress, or if you're struggling to achieve the big goals your vision demands, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly dives deep into a critical distinction every entrepreneur must master: knowing when to act with urgency and when to pace yourself with longevity. 

This conversation will help you rebalance your mental load and rethink your growth strategy.

Kelly breaks down how urgency fuels execution and clarity, while longevity sustains vision and success. You’ll walk away knowing how to free up mental energy, move faster on what matters, and finally build the kind of business that’s both profitable and sustainable.

Key Takeaways:

  • Urgency clears your mental clutter.
    Most entrepreneurs stay stuck not because they have too much to do—but because they’re delaying decisions and tasks that could have been cleared off their plates days ago.

  • Longevity creates sustainable success.
    You can’t shortcut mastery. If you’re only chasing results and ignoring the reps it takes to get there, you’ll burn out before you ever break through.

  • Urgency belongs to the fundamentals.
    Grow your audience. Build your email list. Go live. Follow up. Close the deal. These are the things that deserve your speed and focus every single day.

  • Longevity belongs to the vision.
    Your 7- or 8-figure goal won’t come from one perfect day—it’ll come from hundreds of consistent days stacked over time.

  • Execution trumps overthinking.
    If you’re constantly rewriting your to-do list instead of doing the thing, it’s either time to do it, delete it, or delegate it.
