Turning Life Into Legacy: How to Document Stories That Inspire

"Part of the aging process is to capture all those stories." - Mark Turnbull


Host, Mark Turnbull and special guest, Zoe Martin dive into a heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation about the power of preserving personal stories and family legacies. Zoe opens up about her own journey, sharing how her sister's battle with cancer inspired her to create meaningful legacy projects that capture memories through audio and video.

Together, they explore how technology makes it easier than ever to document family histories and how music can evoke powerful emotions tied to remembrance.

They also reflect on the simple yet profound impact of epitaphs in cemeteries, the significance of tangible keepsakes, and how names shape our personal histories. Throughout the discussion, Mark and Zoe invite listeners to think about their own family stories, the connections that nourish us, and the legacies we all hope to leave behind.

This conversation will inspire you to take meaningful steps toward preserving your history and passing it on to future generations.
