The Details: Avoid watching your Legacy Interview alone.

Consider not watching your interview until your family can be with you.

Even the most confident people get a little nervous about how they looked and sounded when they did their Legacy Interview. 

When talking with past guests, they often tell us that they are anxious to watch their interview. They are concerned that they may have excluded someone, said something that might be misunderstood, or showed the family in a negative light.  

Those concerns make guests want to watch their interviews alone before showing them to anyone else.  We advise that people resist this temptation. We have heard from many guests that watching a Legacy Interview for the first time with family is a profound experience.

The highest compliment we have received: Photos of families watching their Legacy Interviews

Every few weeks, and especially around the holidays, guests send us photos of their families watching a Legacy Interview together. Sometimes it is a small gathering, other times it is watched by all the aunts, uncles, kids, and grandkids.

Watching with family, everyone gets to see each other’s genuine first reactions.

Creating A Viewing Party

Legacy Interviews reveal stories that families have never heard before. By watching your interview with your family, you will be able to stop the video to answer questions, clarify details, and laugh with your family as you tell the punchline of an experience you had. 

Many guests tell us that the viewing experience is the highlight of the entire process, and they are delighted to have the experience along with their kids and grandkids.

It doesn’t need to be a formal gathering. Simply invite people to watch you tell your stories. A viewing party could be a small group or a big one. Just know that watching your Legacy Interview for the first time is a powerful experience, and waiting to watch it with your family will create a magnificent experience of storytelling and bonding. 

If you do watch by yourself

Of course, it is your interview. If you will feel better watching it alone, that’s okay. We recommend that you not wait too long to watch it again with your family. We know that watching your interview with others has many benefits and prompts more great conversations. If nothing else, remember the simple fact that your stories matter.
