We’re launching with a small, in-person cohort in Nashville. Seats are scarce by design—this kind of work can’t be rushed.
If you want to master the most valuable interview skill you’ll ever learn, carry the Legacy name, and offer families a product and platform unlike anything else—this is your chance.
Working with Legacy is so rewarding on both a personal and professional level. The simple interview format and low-stress, small-footprint setup lets you focus on what’s important: the stories our clients are telling. With today’s focus on high-drama and fast entertainment, it feels genuinely good to be part of a project that really means something to the clients you’re working with; to let them build a record of their lives piece by piece, in big and small moments. For one Legacy session, I had the privilege of interviewing an entire family, and it was amazing to see the throughline between three generations from their shared past, looking ahead to the future. The Legacy system makes it so simple to create a space where both the producer and client can communicate easily and openly. And the platform brings these stories to life in such a simple, but high-quality format that makes it easy to revisit over and over again.
