Recording Those Noteworthy Stories

We believe everyone has a book inside of them. But it's intimidating to go from a few stories, ideas, or memories to writing a 100-300+ page book.
So, for the last 3 years, we've been trying to figure out a good starting point for recording stories. Especially in the biography, autobiography, or memoir format.

Record your stories and turn them into a book
Or a podcast episode
Or what if you took the audio and made this amazing vinyl record
