Preserving legacies is about more than cataloging "stuff" and keeping a spreadsheet. Done well, it can provide the grounding for intergenerational communication, engagement with outside constituencies and, in certain cases, monetization.
This involves a organized process:
Preserving Legacies and Cataloging
With the horrible recent storm damage in North Carolina and Florida and the horrible Los Angeles wildfires, the cataloging process is on the forefront of many families' minds.
Storytelling Development
The artifacts of a family can be the keystone of family narrative building and next-generation education.
Fan/Constituency Engagement
The building of physical digital museums can be the centerpiece of engagement for internal and external constituencies. From extended families, to customers and extended fan-bases, advanced legacy preservation is more than just "stuff."
Monetization
In certain situations, these efforts can lead to new forms of business and monetization. For artists, authors and musicians, these museum efforts can add value to IP revenue streams and transactions.
Preserving Legacies
We talk about case studies with stars like Def Leppard, Chris Paul and Jon Bon Jovi. However, we also go through the importance of preserving legacies with families that aren't filling 50,000 person stadiums.
We distinguish "Preserving Legacies" from Estate Settlement (where many families first begin this process). That said, this show pairs well with the Estate Settlement episode with Joel Schoenmeyer.
