Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#44 The Stories You'll Wish You'd Captured: Roy and Yvette of LifeBook Memoirs on legacy, memory, and why context is everything
Q: How do you balance private family narratives with publicly shareable books?
Bases on trust and consent; some parts remain private, while public-facing volumes showcase the core values and authentic stories, with careful consideration given to what can be shared.
#44 The Stories You'll Wish You'd Captured: Roy and Yvette of LifeBook Memoirs on legacy, memory, and why context is everything
Q: Why start collecting stories early, and how does that impact the final memoir?
Starting early preserves memories when memory is freshest, allows for ongoing collaboration with descendants, and creates a living body of work that can be updated and expanded over time.
#44 The Stories You'll Wish You'd Captured: Roy and Yvette of LifeBook Memoirs on legacy, memory, and why context is everything
Q: What makes a good memoir interview, and why are empathy, active listening, and culture essential?
Empathy helps the interviewer connect with the subject; active listening ensures questions are responsive rather than pre-scripted; culture guides how stories are interpreted and what details are emphasized, leading to a more authentic, multidimensional narrative.
#18: Any Dumbass Can Do It - A conversation with former 25-year CEO of WD-40, Garry Ridge, about culture, purpose and performance
Q: Tell me your story there.
Garry Ridge recounts his journey to transform WD-40 through servant leadership, studying at USD, and implementing a hierarchical values framework that anchored the company's culture and engagement at high levels.
