Strengthening the bonds, rituals, and relationships that keep families rooted across generations, geography, and life seasons. Centering connection: how families gather, how they communicate, how they resolve conflict, and how they remain emotionally woven together even as life shifts. Helping families cultivate spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and part of something larger than themselves.
The Business of Family
Beyond Wealth. Beyond Money. Beyond One Generation.
Who We Are
In the Room with Legacy™ (IRL) is a platform, movement & home for those building with intention. A place where the business of family, heritage, and wealth come together. Through storytelling, programs, and technology, we make legacy a living practice.
Powered by IRL Advisors, our family governance and legacy-tech advisory firm, we bridge the emotional, cultural and financial dimensions of legacy. Transforming awareness into action by equipping families, individuals, and communities with the tools and frameworks to build and preserve what matters most. We help families understand where they stand today, strengthen what they've inherited, and prepare the next generation to lead with clarity.
We begin with the Legacy Snapshot, our 3–5 minute assessment. We are also piloting NIA, the beta version of In the Room with Legacy's emerging Legacy Operating System — designed to help families assess, document, preserve, and carry legacy while we're still here.

The Four Pillars of Legacy
The enduring foundations that shape how individuals & families understand themselves, honor where they come from, and build what continues after them.
IDENTITY
Your values, name, beliefs, and the sense of belonging that shapes your path.
HERITAGE
The culture, land, lineage, rituals, and stories that formed you.
WEALTH
Financial, cultural, relational, and spiritual resources — all of which require stewardship.
CONTINUATION
The systems, roles, and transitions that ensure what you are building outlives you.
What We Do
Every offering, from our workshops to our technology, is designed to make legacy a living practice. Our work lives at the intersection of four pathways that together make legacy real, relevant, and repeatable:
