The fortune transfers. The wisdom disappears.
Maja Maurer and Jamie Schafer help organizations and communities close that gap — with a keynote that changes how people think about inner wealth, self-worth, and true legacy.
The $124 Trillion Blind Spot
Why Your Life Stories Are the Most Valuable Inheritance You'll Ever Leave
Right now, the largest wealth transfer in human history is underway — an estimated $124 trillion in financial assets moving between generations. But the wisdom, the values, and the lived experience behind that fortune risk being lost forever.
Maja and Jamie's keynote weaves personal story, real-world example, and philosophical depth into a talk about why our life stories are the most valuable inheritance we'll ever leave — and how to start telling and preserving them, before it's too late.
What Audiences Take Away:
- A profound shift in how they think about legacy and inheritance
- Mortality awareness reframed as a gift, not something to fear
- The biggest oversight people make telling their stories — and the three ingredients that make a story resonate
- A clear way to determine the right preservation method for their own story
- Permission to move past overwhelm, perfectionism, and avoidance
- A conversation they'll keep having long after the room clears
