How Did Legacy Letter Start?
In a heartbeat, my snorkeling excursion with my father in Hawaii transformed into an unimaginable nightmare.
​
Witnessing my once-strong father battling for survival in the treacherous waters, I fought desperately to rescue him.
It was the worst day of my life.
​
But then my father gave me something that would change my life forever.
This heartfelt message was everything it needed as gave me strength, hope and direction.
This Is More than Just a Letter...

"I had Blake on my show and I instantly knew I needed to write my children a Legacy Letter.
It was an amazing experience as we went through it together.

Every dad needs to do this."

Blake has gathered some of the tried tested insights from letter writing that I have used over the past 32 years, working with men in prison to those at the highest political and corporate levels...
But what makes Blake unique is that he has honed and focused those insights into a course that helps dads as they leave a legacy.

I am very grateful for Blake and the Legacy Letter Challenge. Blake helped me craft a letter that expressed to my girls how I feel about them along with some good life advice.
I loved be able to give the letters to my girls on each of their birthdays.
How We Got Started
When I was 19 my parents took the family on an amazing trip to Hawaii. On the first day, my dad and I went out snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.
We were having an unbelievable time when, all of a sudden, we got caught up in a rough spot known as Witches Brew.
My father started yelling for help and before I knew it, he was under water. I tried to save him, but I couldn't overpower the water, and he died in my arms.
It went from being one of the best days of my life to the worst.
A few hours later, we were back in the condo and I was trying to make sense of what just happened. At that moment my mother came into the room and handed me a "gift" from my dad.
I had no idea at the time, but my dad had just finished working on a letter for me and my siblings that he had been working on for several months.
The words in this letter were exactly what I needed at that time in my life and 19 years later his words and his voice are still leading me and guiding me.

Good intentions are useless. When Blake introduced me to the Legacy Letter it allowed me - through his well thought out framework - to share my thoughts in a very succinct manner that made sense.
Now my girls see how much they mean to me and they no longer have to guess.
Thank you Blake.

This was the most powerful experience I've gone through as a Dad.
Keep going, Blake!

I went through Blake's process and what an amazing experience it was. I found myself closer to my son, my feelings for him, and the fact that now I have this special letter that he can carry with him for the rest of his life. Not only is this such a good thing for a dad to do, I think it is a must!
