The Interview
Our interviews are designed to be a free-flowing conversation that captures the essence of your life story. Whether you’re a business leader, an artist, or a farmer, our interview process is designed to help you share your story in the most meaningful way possible.


Take a Break and Relax
We understand that the process of telling your life story can be emotionally draining. That’s why we make sure to provide ample time for breaks and snacks during the interview process. By the end of the day, you’ll feel more grounded and content, knowing that your legacy has been captured for future generations to admire.
What types of questions will be asked?
We can talk about anything, but we usually start with this list of questions as thought starters. Before our interview starts, you will have an opportunity to tell the host if there are specific questions you want to be asked, or any areas you want to avoid.
Keep in mind, this is your interview, if you decide afterwards that there are parts of the interview you would like deleted- that is no problem.
