A Legacy You Can Speak Into

The story of a company is, in many ways, the story of its founder. Through in-depth, guided conversations, we help founders reflect on the moments that mattered, how it started, what it took to grow, the values that held it all together. These long-form interviews become a lasting, personal artifact: something your family, future generations, or business successors can return to, again and again.

A Collaborative, Comfortable Process

We make the experience relaxed, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful. From preparing thoughtful questions to capturing the conversation in a beautiful format, we handle every detail with professionalism and discretion.

Service List:

  • Legacy-oriented interview planning & question development
  • Founder coaching for natural, confident delivery
  • On-location or remote video/audio recording
  • Cinematic editing with titles, archival visuals, and music
  • Branded packaging and personalization
  • Final delivery optimized for family archiving, events, or digital sharing

Why Founders Choose Long-Form Interviews

Sam, All have been impressed with your product, as have I. I am very glad we ran on to you. You quickly create personal relationships. That is a gift. Your video will tell our story much better than we can in person. I believe our return will be 100 times our investment, and it will also build stronger relationships with current associates and help us attract new superstars.

We did the story behind my family and building ViaQuest. It was a great experience that my kids can pass down through the generations

Rich Johnson

We watched the video as a family this weekend. GREAT WORK! Video had us in tears, laughter, sharing additional stories; even brought up additional commentary and fun facts that Dwight & Ruth shared with us. Thanks again for staying on top of us to coordinate that, I’m really glad we now have this keepsake.
