What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?

We wake up, get work, go back home and rinse and repeat – or at least it feels that way sometimes. In truth, there are a million moments in between where we interact with others and we can’t help but wonder what folks will think about us once we aren’t showing up, perhaps once we are gone. Some very thoughtful members of the community share their thoughts on this with us below.

Mike “Beezy” Bright Sr.

Quite simply, I did things MY WAY., by taking a less ‘traditional’ path in this industry. From street dancing, to dancing on stage, to performing for event planners and entertainment companies, and forging partnerships. In the words of Frank Sinatra, I did it my way. Read More>>

I hope people say that I have a creative mind, people can do a bunch of things no matter who they are or what are they passionate about, and I hope I can carry the mindset of being yourself and and being passionate about the things you love. Read More>>

I hope people say I was a man who loved God, loved his wife, and showed up for his family. That I lived with integrity, kept my word, and never chased success at the expense of what mattered most. I hope my daughters remember that I was present.  Read More>>

I hope the story people tell is that I poured my life into creating safe, hope‑filled spaces, whether that was a women’s circle, a living room, or a closing table. They’ll remember a Realtor who treated every move like her own 14th relocation, listening first, guiding with facts, and calming the chaos so families (especially our military heroes) could plant roots with confidence.

To us, music is inherently about legacy. The act of recording is about capturing a moment in time. Be that a thought, a feeling, a cultural phenomenon, or simply a desire to be heard. Some of our artists are chasing the next big break, some are searching for their own style, and others just want to have fun. Read More>>

When I’m gone, I hope people say one simple thing about me: she tried. That’s it. I tried. I gave it a good go, even when I didn’t know what I was doing—and honestly, sometimes that’s all any of us can do.  Read More>>

Julie Walton

I hope people say that I led with heart – that I made others feel seen, valued, and loved. That I honored my family’s legacy while creating a space for growth and change. That I showed up for my community, gave generously, and lived with integrity. And that I found joy in the little things and shared it freely. Read More>>
