The Stories Future Generations Need to Hear | The Ripple Effect Podcast ft. Mike O'Krent

What if the greatest gift you could give your family was their story, captured forever?

This episode is something special.

Our special guest is none other than Mike O’Krent, founder of LifeStories Alive, a company devoted to helping families preserve the voices, memories, and life lessons of the people they love most. Mike’s journey is incredible: from interviewing Holocaust survivors for Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation to building a business that turns family stories into lasting video heirlooms for future generations. And trust me, once you hear why he does this work, it’s going to hit you right in the heart.

You’ll hear why stories matter more than ever, how the simple act of listening can change a relationship, and why capturing someone’s voice, wisdom, and legacy before it’s too late may be one of the greatest gifts you ever give. Mike also shares practical gems on asking better questions, handling emotional conversations with grace, and becoming the kind of person people truly open up to.

And hang with us all the way to the end, because Mike drops powerful advice on how to become a better conversationalist and listener. It's the kind of insight that can transform the way you show up at home, at work, and in every relationship that matters.

This one is heartfelt, eye-opening, and full of Ripples that can last for generations.
