In this webinar recording, Justin Mertes, co-founder of legacy-storytelling startup Parable, shares the art of preserving grandparents’ legacy across generations and how to pass on the intangible parts of their lives — wisdom, knowledge, values — and missteps.

Together, we explore:

• How to identify which stories are most important to pass on.
• Why the themes of a story are more powerful than just telling the facts.
• Tips for honoring family members who have died, and their impact on our lives.
• How to make grandchildren interested enough to listen.
• Why even a simple recording can be valuable.
