Preserving Your Legacy: The Power of Family Storytelling - Part 1

Episode Notes

Family history, recorded in video, audio or written formats, can make an immeasurable impact in the lives of our loved ones. Taylor Smith interviews Jamie Younger, founder and CEO of Storykeep, to discuss her company's work in creating bespoke films and audio-based media to capture family history and values for high net worth families. Jamie shares her journey from studying folklore to founding Storykeep, and her structured discovery and co-creation process. 

Jamie says, “a family’s story, is part of their estate.” Explore the power of storytelling in estate planning, family transitions, and making compelling legal documents. One of Jamie’s keys to success is to emphasize the importance of human connection and inclusivity in capturing family stories across generations. 

Jamie gives an example of a Japanese American family who never spoke about the elder generation’s WWII internment camp experience–and it opened up the family conversations, providing value in countless ways.
