Footprints Podcast | Season 1 | Episode 25 | Part 1 | What You Leave Within

In this episode of Footprints, host Jacqueline Asiimwe sits down with Dr. Robin Kibuuka, economist, Rotarian, board leader, and author of Build Legacy, Not Inheritance, to trace the quiet forces that shaped a life of service. From a deeply rooted extended family in Uganda, steeped in faith, education, and public service, to scholarship years in the United States at Yale and Harvard, Robin reflects on struggle as character-building, not punishment. He shares how mentors, teachers, and faith leaders, from his parents and Ugandan educators to Reverend John Walker and even Archbishop Desmond Tutu, modeled integrity, courage, and a relentless commitment to justice.

We follow his 32-year journey at the IMF, his return home to serve on keyboards and in Rotary, and the lessons that tie itall together: listening as a leadership superpower, arbitration as a path to common ground, and attitude, service, and discipline as the pillars of a lasting legacy. This is a conversation about what it really means to build a life that outlives you.
