## Resource

Revenue tells you how your quarter performed. Legacy tells you why it was worth building at all. Two businesses are being built inside yours right now: the P&L you're tracking, and the second story being built whether you watch it or not. In this episode, you'll learn the four operational moves that build something lasting: defining what your name will mean before the market does, investing in relationships with no visible ROI, holding a standard you'd keep even without an exit, and letting people see what you actually value. Exit and legacy reinforce each other!
