Conduct a Legacy Interview Before It’s too Late

Does the following sound like you?

Maybe you recently lost a mother or a father and you wish you could have one more meaningful conversation with them.

You would ask them all sorts of questions and find out all the things you never really knew about them. Although they raised you and you’ve talked to them every day for your entire life, there’s things you still wonder and you realize there is so much you never knew about them. You regret not having asked them about the things they experienced before you came along: their childhood, their favorite memories, the love story they shared with your surviving parent.

Now, you don’t want to make the same mistake twice. You realize there are other people in your family who you could know even better. You want to hear their stories before it is too late. But finding the time to ask them is difficult and you might not be comfortable having these intimate conversations.

I was like you. I learned the hard way. I lost my father before ever having these conversations with him. And I don’t want others to make the same mistake, which is why I created Legacy Video Stories. I knew my Dad for 49 years, but there is so much more I could have known about him, if only I had simply asked. And I know he would have loved to tell me. 

Now it is clear as day to me. We don’t live forever, but our legacies can.
