ITFS is building a Legacy Library playlist on Youtube and our ITFS Blog dedicated to empowering the next generation with knowledge and inspiration while honoring those that came before.
Our goals is to create a place to save and share the wisdom, history and experiences of those that have made important contributions in their fields as well as highlight the people and organizations that are bringing new perspectives, innovation and growth.
We share personal stories and firsthand accounts on a variety of topics like: Martial Arts, Performing Arts/Dance/Choreography, Authors, Visual Arts/Filmmakers, Music, Culture, Body/Balance, Nature Warriors/Sustainability, Heroes for Humanity, Wisdom Keepers and Elders Library.
“How can we know who we are and where we are going if we don't know anything about where we have come from and what we have been through, the courage shown, the costs paid, to be where we are?”
― David McCullough, Brave Companions: Portraits in History
One day we hope to create our own ITFS library consisting of online interviews hosted on our YouTube Channel and ITFS Blog making it accessible to worldwide audiences for free.
We hope you'll visit our library often to find new sources of inspiration.
