New Ways to Share Your Life Stories with Your Grandchildren featuring Special Guests Jeremy Bryant and Eric Simons
Show Notes

“One of these days” is when most of us intend to write down (or video-record) our significant life stories and memories so that our grandchildren will have a permanent record of what God has done in our lives and what we’ve learned during our lifetimes. Now there are several high- and low-tech resources to help “one of these days” get here a lot sooner. In this podcast, Wayne Rice and John Coulombe interview two entrepreneurs who have created brand new ways to capture stories and memories from your life and share them with your children and grandchildren. Jeremy Bryant is the co-founder of No Story Lost, a company that can help you get your life story published in book form—from the writing to the publication. Eric Simons is the co-founder of the Novella app which can capture your story on video and make it available to family members online.  Also in this episode, Wayne shares how he went about getting his own autobiography written and published for his grandkids. If you are interested in leaving a written or recorded legacy of faith for your grandkids, this podcast can help get you started.
