Stories are Your Heritage and Your Legacy

Preserve and Share Life Legacy with a Life Vault

Publish a Life Vault

What is a Life Vault, you are likely asking?

I have been helping people collect, create, and publish stories, concerts, projects, and products for many decades.

Life Vault is a collection of anything a person wants to preserve and share about their life.

It could be family stories and history.

It could be a business story, like Disney, or Ben and Jerry’s. These companies are very good at sharing their stories.

Marketing legends like Dan Kennedy talk about releasing things from their substantial Business Vault. Or selling access to their Business Vault.

I can help you build and publish your own Life Vault.

The Rocket Norton Vault

I have worked with Vancouver musician, author, and course creator Rocket Norton for many decades. He was the drummer in bands like The Seeds of TimePRiSM, The Rocket Norton Band, H.U.N.N., and more.

I have helped him create, publish, and promote a tremendous amount of content and projects over the years, including his book Rocket Norton: Lost In Space which takes us through his musical adventures with many of the top Vancouver area and Canadian musicians that are still heard on Classic Rock stations today.

His recent F**K Cancer Benefit Concert featured members of LoverboyTrooperChilliwackHeadpinsStreetheartThe Legendary Powdered Blues BandLee AaronNick Guilder, and more. The concert raised nearly $200K for the BC Cancer Foundation.

The Rocket Norton Vault contains a growing collection of rare content, including Rocket Norton: Lost In Space, three other books, concert video clips, rare audio recordings, photos, and the entire How to Coach Baseball to Kids video course.

Why You May Want To Publish A Vault

Even if you do not see a Life Vault for yourself, you may want to create one for a loved one or your family as a way to preserve and share stories and heritage—a way to leave a legacy.

The process of collecting content and stories can be fun and enlightening in itself.

My father and mother have both passed. Our four siblings collectively have a spotty outline of our father’s life with some mysteries that could be the basis of a novel someday.

I have a vague recollection that my father rode the rails during The Great Depression. Perhaps my mother told me that. None of my siblings ever heard anything about that.

Sometimes we don’t know much about the people who are in our lives.

Life Vault is a way to discover, preserve, and share their stories and accomplishments.

What Can Go In The Vault?

I create multimedia vaults that can contain almost anything digital, including:

  • Text
  • Images
  • Videos
  • eBooks
  • Courses
  • Links to resources like mobile apps and other assets.

Vault Content Acquisition and Creation

There are various ways of assembling content, including:

  • Collecting existing assets and organizing.
  • Conducting interviews in person or online.
  • Collecting stories with a computer, video camera, or smartphone.
  • Researching and writing stories and other content.

One of the first steps is to create a content roadmap for the Life Vault and a plan for how to assemble or create each piece.

Ways to Publish a Life Vault

I use Kartra Memberships and WordPress to publish Life Vaults.

The Rocket Norton Vault is in a Kartra Membership because it supports all of the content we want to include, we are charging for access, and we may want to protect some of the content with special access levels.

Other course publishing platforms could work for you. WordPress and other website builders can work for public information. There are pros and cons for each platform.

I would be glad to discuss options with you. Please book an appointment at https://www.gregdixon.net/

How I Can Help You Publish a Vault

I am working on a book and an online course for people who want to build and publish their own Life Vaults.

I can also work with you to plan, build, and publish a Life Vault for you, your loved ones, your family, or your business.

Please send me a note or book an appointment with me at https://www.gregdixon.net/ to discuss if a Life Vault is right for you.

It could be the perfect gift for the holiday season!

Bonnie & Greg to Talk to Your Group Virtually about Family Story Productions

Leave a Living Legacy

We believe that it is important to capture stories and family legacy while people are still alive.

Things change fast.

Accidents happen. Wars happen. Coronavirus and other diseases strike.

Suddenly the opportunity to capture stories is gone.

I wanted to travel to Alberta to capture my Uncle Joe’s WW II stories. I got busy with other things. I didn’t have money for gas. Whatever the reason, I did not go that summer.

Next summer the opportunity was gone.

We have been blessed to capture and present many life stories for use in graduation ceremonies, personal milestones, weddings, anniversaries, and personal life stories to leave for future generations.

We also help people create Story Productions themselves.

Our Talk Agenda

Here is our general presentation that we can vary to match the interests of your group.

  • Introduction
  • Why we think capturing personal and family stories are important.
  • Bonnie’s story about the mountain of photos her mother left behind and the challenges of organizing and scanning.
  • Resources for people to do it themselves.
  • Ways we work with people to create Story Productions

At the end we will offer the following:

  • A free gift.
  • Story Production Secrets online course to help families do it themselves.
  • Invitation to work with us. We offer packages from $1,000 to 10,000 with a special package at $3,000 that is perfect for most Story Productions. We may discount to $2,000 for your group.

Affiliate Offer

We have an affiliate or Joint Venture program where your organization will receive 20% of any sales from the presentation. The most likely scenario is that someone books an appointment with us then chooses a package.

By the way, the affiliate program works if you run a short blurb in your newsletter with a link to a special offer. We can provide text that you can edit to taste.

Story Production of Your Organization

We also do Story Productions for businesses and other organizations. Do you want to profile what your organization does?

We offer a short interview with a key member of your organization as thanks for the booking.

Booking

Please contact Greg Dixon at greg@tellyourstory.productions to discuss.
