Community, Philanthropy and Shared Culture

Gaudin family business roots run deep. They reach back to the family’s great, great grandmother’s iconic journey West in a covered wagon.

Loyalty, Pride, Respect and Purpose

The Gaudin Motor Company does something you’re not supposed to. Just about any management expert will tell you not to bring related family members into the business. Gaudin has run away from this “rule” for almost 100 years.

Strength in Crisis, Faith, Vision

When Bob Grimm passed away suddenly at age 54, his family turned to Life Story Media to preserve his personal legacy both as co-founder of Grimmway Farms, and as a beloved husband, father, friend and community leader.

Life Story Media has been repeatedly honored by the industry

Your story is your legacy. Pass it on.

At Life Story Media, we specialize in working with family-owned businesses – turning a company’s past into an asset for the future and uniting generations around their shared heritage. The result is a first-hand living legacy of stories, values and memories on video that might otherwise be lost to us and future generations forever.

The world is changing. Your values are not.

Now is the time to tell your story.

Business histories preserve a company’s values, vision and heritage.

 

Our video biographies are unique, because your story is not like any one else’s. It engages all generations of family and team in your business culture.

We Would Love To Tell Your Story

You have a story to tell.

 

Our documentaries allow you to revisit who you are as a family and a company – providing the opportunity to move ahead with knowledge of what’s most trusted in your heritage and valued in your brand.

Family enterprises thrive across generations because their values are a road map to resilience. At this challenging time, we have the chance to see what matters most – and to communicate it. Given this opportunity, what message would you like to share? How will you and your family tell your story?

The Power of Family Business Histories

 

Family businesses are no stranger to challenging times. They’ve been reinventing themselves for decades. Now more than ever, that story has power. Life Story Media partners with you to accurately and passionately leverage your family’s greatest asset – your story. It’s a tool that helps generations talk to each other, bringing families together. And it’s a lasting gift, perfect for landmark occasions, growing more valuable with the passage of time.

Personal Histories

 

A personal life journey is much more than a biography. We capture an oral history first-hand, as told by contemporaries or later generations, weaving narrative together with history, emotion and life lessons. Books recount history but a documentary brings it to life. Never dull, Life Story Media reveals facets of life far more interesting than simple names, dates and events.

Everyone is a good subject. Perhaps one person in ten thousand will actually write an autobiography, but anyone can “talk one” in his or her own words, particularly if encouraged by a skilled listener.

 

Life stories bring families together and grow more valuable with the passage of time.
