Story Prompts
Every great story begins with the right question. Here are ten prompts that have produced some of our most treasured recordings.
"How did you meet your spouse?"
"What was your childhood home like?"
"What was the hardest thing you ever did?"
"What do you want your grandchildren to know?"
"Tell me about a time you failed — and what happened next."
"What was your first job?"
"What do you believe about family?"
"Describe the day I was born."
"What are you most proud of?"
"What advice would you give your 20-year-old self?"
Your voice is irreplaceable. The stories it carries deserve to last as long as your family does.
