A family heirloom · In their own voice

Record a life story,
in their own voice.

An Enduring Story is a warm, unhurried conversation between someone you love and a patient AI interviewer. All they have to do is talk, and we take care of the rest.

How it works.

From purchase to heirloom in three unhurried steps.

01

You tell us who it's for

Complete a short intake after purchase. Who they are, the stories you want captured, any specific topics to avoid. Recording your own story? You can buy it for yourself too.

02

They talk, we listen

A private link opens a warm, patient conversation with an AI interviewer, shaped by hundreds of real family interviews. They share as much as they like, in their own time.

03

We produce and deliver

We shape the audio, write the narrative, and deliver everything privately to your family, to hold close and pass down for generations.

What you receive.

Once complete, your family receives:

Produced Audio

Their voice, their cadence, their pauses. Professionally produced audio that retains their stories in their own voice, for the family who come after.

Written Narrative

A crafted account of chapters and short stories, shaped by the arc of a life. Written to be read and reread for generations.

Their Story, Yours to Keep

Delivered to a secure private page. Yours to download, share and keep forever, with a private podcast feed available in any podcast app.

Whose story would you like to capture?

Emory University · Family Narratives Project

Children who know where they came from know who they are.

"We all feel stronger if we are part of a tapestry. One thread alone is weak, but woven into something larger, surrounded by other threads, is more difficult to unravel."
— Professor Robyn Fivush, Emory University

Children who know their family stories, not just the facts but the emotional interior of them, show measurably higher self-esteem, resilience, and sense of identity. The research is unambiguous. An Enduring Story doesn't just preserve a life. It builds the next generation.

Mike Boyd · The Business of Family

Built from a decade inside the stories most families never tell.

As host of The Business of Family podcast, Mike Boyd has spent a decade in conversation with generational business families: dozens of published interviews and hundreds more private, unpublished ones. The most valuable part was never the structure. It was always the human story underneath, the connective tissue between generations.

Everything he learned from those conversations, what to ask, when to wait, when to follow a thread, when to leave something alone, is built into the interviewer at the heart of Enduring Stories. It is not a generic interview. It is the distilled craft of hundreds of hours of family interviews.

"The stories people think are too ordinary to matter are almost always the ones that matter most. Your grandchildren will one day press play and hear this voice, and that alone will matter more than you can imagine."— Mike Boyd

Hear it for yourself.

The interviewer is the heart of it. Choose the voice that feels right, listen, then meet them properly.

"I gave this to my dad for his 75th, not really knowing what to expect. Hearing him tell stories I had never heard, in his own voice, completely undid me. My children will have this long after he is gone. It is the most meaningful gift our family has ever given."

— Rebecca Hollis · Melbourne
