Lisa Piantanida - Legacy Project with Jim Copple

What does it mean to "build" greatness in others? In this episode of The Legacy Project, host Jim sits down with Lisa Piantanida—public affairs expert, storyteller, and co-founder of the viral social media sensation Midlifers.Lisa shares her journey from working at the National Crime Prevention Council (the home of McGruff the Crime Dog) to navigating a cross-country move with $1000 and a paper map. We dive deep into the philosophy of "building" versus "tearing down," the power of authentic storytelling, and why she wants her funeral to be filled with blow-up costumes and joy. Whether you're navigating midlife or just starting your career, Lisa’s insights on service, leadership, and resilience will inspire you to take the driver’s seat.The Legacy Project is a series of conversations that focuses on legacy, the one we inherit and the one we can create. It is value based and not material based. We interview a wide range of individuals who reflect on key influencers in their lives. Please subscribe to our podcast to hear future episodes.
