What will they say about you when you’re gone? In this episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts explore the difference between reputation and legacy — and why legacy is something you must build with intention.

Ben reflects on the wisdom he gained from his mentor, Dr. Napoleon Hill, and the influence of his friendship with W. Clement Stone. Together, we discuss how daily choices shape the stories people will tell about us, and how mentoring others extends our impact far beyond ourselves.

Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, or simply striving to live with purpose, this conversation invites you to think deeply about the mark you’re leaving on the world.

The Legacy Question: What Will They Say About You When You’re Gone? with Ben Gay III & Denise Griffitts

Welcome to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast. I’m Denise Griffitts here with my co-host, Ben Gay III.

Today we’re diving into a question that every leader, entrepreneur, and human being eventually has to face:

“What will they say about you when you’re gone?” — The Legacy Question.

For Ben, legacy isn’t just an abstract idea. Early in his career, he had the rare privilege of being personally mentored by Dr. Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich. Through Dr. Hill, Ben also came to know and befriend W. Clement Stone, whose influence and friendship became another powerful thread in Ben’s journey. These relationships didn’t just shape his career — they shaped his sense of purpose and the legacy he wants to leave behind.
