Robb Lucy

Producer, author, and aging athlete who will rage (with a smile) against the dying of the light.

Robb Lucy is an author, speaker and producer who lives in Vancouver, B.C. with his wife Kim, and two furniture destroying cats, Luna and Soleil.

Robb spent six years as a producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, then formed his own company, and for 30 years produced mixed media for corporations and governments. He produced 'learning content' in a variety of sectors, including DVD and streaming video that gets kids exercising and smiling in classrooms around the world. He spent 25 years on the local, national and international boards of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and helped develop non-profits in literacy, sports history and cancer awareness. He’s also a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Robb's first book "How Will You Be Remembered? A Guide for Creating and Enjoying Your Legacies Now!" has gained critical success, and has sent Robb back to radio with his popular podcast "The Legacy Cafe". Robb wants to continue creating Legacies that give happiness, connection, purpose and meaning until he's caught in the path of a thundering herd of big, muddy, slightly angry animals (um... details in the book).

If you'd like Robb and his company to help you gather and produce your legacy stories, send him a note from his website, and he'll quickly reply.

Hey Boomer, What's Your Legacy?

If you're a boomer worried about your legacy: Of course every one of us will have a Legacy. Every breath, every footprint in the sand builds your Legacy. But I think conscious 'Legacy building' should begin early. Like at 40. Heck... 30'd be a good start. But, if you didn't happen to start then, Boomers can begin building life-affirming, connective, fun legacies now!

We Can't Let Our Veterans' Stories

We Can't Let Our Veterans' Stories Die

I watched CBC TV's coverage of Remembrance Day on Parliament Hill Wednesday. Several vets in their late 80s and early 90s told some of their stories. But in a few years, millions of untold stories about our fathers, grandfathers or great grandfathers, will be gone. And simply because we didn't ask to hear them.

With All Their Tricks and Treats, How on Earth Do I Vote?

I want the party and Prime Minister I vote for to show responsibility with how they spend our money; how they treat all classes of citizens and our environment; with how they paint a picture of the future they want to get to, and how I'm part of it.

Don't Wait to Preserve Your Legacy

Said Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it's because they're always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out." It's a reminder that legacy-building shouldn't wait.

How I Ensured My Father's Story Would Live for Generations to Come

I saw my father cry twice. The first time was just after my mother died. The next time was when I was gathering the stories of his WWII experiences, because I didn't want them to go away. I spent two years gathering my father's stories -- do you know someone whose story you'd hate to disappear?

How to Leave a Legacy Worth

How to Leave a Legacy Worth Remembering

If you were taken away tomorrow, what do you think your legacy would be? Most of us, it seems, are happy to wait and hear what our eulogist thinks our legacies are. A little late, don'tcha think? I think it's time to lighten up the legacy conversation by creating and enjoying a variety of legacies that you can enjoy now!
