What happens when the world's wealthiest parents lose their only son? 💔


Stanford University is known today as a global powerhouse of innovation, but its origins are rooted in a deeply personal tragedy. In 1884, Leland Stanford Jr. died just weeks before his 16th birthday. Instead of retreating into their sorrow, his parents poured their massive fortune into creating a university that would treat every student as their own child.


In this episode, we uncover the moving story of the Stanford family and the birth of a legend.


We discuss:

👦 The short, brilliant life of Leland Stanford Jr.

🏛️ The vow that changed California forever: 'The children of California shall be our children.'

📜 The early struggles and the 'Golden Spike' fortune that funded the dream.

🎓 How a memorial for one boy became a gateway for millions.


Understanding begins with why.
