What will yours be? The Legacy Hour Podcast with Victoria Miklausich serves to inspire and empower business owners and entrepreneurs to build lasting legacies for their customers, employees, communities and families. We tell the stories of successes and learnings of two types of entrepreneurs and the legacies they leave. The FIRST entrepreneur has a well-established brand or product that has positively impacted the customer as well as their family, community and employees. The SECOND entrepreneur is in the build right now – they are launching or have less than 5 years in the business and are in the stage where they are the jack of all trades. We learn best when we hear others' stories, so every week we will speak to entrepreneurs who are focused on building a brand that long outlasts their life or time at the company. They are making daily decisions to stick to their mission and not lose sight of why they started and we want to learn how and what they are doing. Buckle up and get ready to hear from powerhouse #legacylegends so that you can make a brand that leaves a lasting impact on your surrounding audiences.http://thelegacyhourpodcastwithvictoriamiklausich.libsyn.com/websitefalseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/the-legacy-hour/nopodcastMelanie Auld | Melanie Auld JewelryMelanie Auld | Melanie Auld JewelryVictoria welcomes Melanie Auld, founder of Melanie Auld Jewelry to give a glimpse at what it's like to launch and grow a business in the jewelry industry.

Victoria Miklausich | The Legacy HourVictoria Miklausich | The Legacy HourWhat started as a dream, is now a reality.  The Legacy Hour Podcast launches October 5, 2020, with the number one mission to inspire and empower business owners and entrepreneurs to build lasting legacies for their customers, employees, communities and families.

Victoria sets the stage with why she started The Legacy Hour podcast -- to inspire you to walk away with a greater sense to make every moment count, to only say “YES!” to the “HELL YES’”, and to stick to your mission.

In May 2014, with just six weeks away from her wedding, her world turned upside down. Her mother suffered a massive stroke with a 1% chance to live. This dark and trying season was full of unknowns but allowed Victoria to learn, grow and build ideas that launch today. 

We all leave a legacy, good or bad, what will yours be?
