Don’t Let Their Stories Die With Them

Happy Monday Super Parents,

With Veterans Day approaching, I’ve been thinking a lot about legacy:

• The stories we pass down

• The voices we never want to forget

• The wisdom that deserves to outlive us

A friend recently told me, "We interviewed Grandpa with a voice app," and I saw a spark in their eyes that told me: this is the future of memory-keeping.

Not tomorrow. Right now.

Today’s AI tools can record, transcribe, and organize stories from our loved ones. A simple voice app, paired with a curated list of interview questions, can preserve entire lifetimes of perspective. I call it the Legacy Story Kit: 30 powerful questions to uncover the richness of your family history, made searchable and savable with AI.

But here’s the flip side: the same tech that preserves voices... can also fake them.

We’re seeing deepfakes used to impersonate everyone from celebrities to CEOs. Berkshire Hathaway had to issue a warning after an AI-generated voice of Warren Buffett started circulating online. Denmark is drafting laws to stop deepfake impersonation. This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening.

So what does this mean for us as families?

It means we use the tech with eyes wide open:

• Always be transparent when you're recording or using AI to preserve memories.

• Focus on transcription, not transformation. Keep the "ums," the pauses, the realness.

• Never use AI to alter a loved one’s words or voice without consent.

AI can amplify the truth. But it should never replace it.

This Veterans Day, consider sitting down with an elder in your life. Use this moment to start your own legacy project. If you want the Legacy Story Kit I mentioned, just reply and I’ll send it to you.

Let the stories live.
