I felt supported throughout the whole process from booking to post-interview. I am so grateful for the opportunity to create this gift for my daughters."

-Suzy

"Your calmness calmed me and helped me to present myself with more authenticity. Your questions were clearly stated and meaningful. A wide range of topics were covered, helping to understand myself as a whole person, not a few different segments. I am so glad I did this and feel happy that it will be presented to my children and grandchildren, helping us to share insights and enabling a closer connection. "

-Lea

"Brilliant experience. Avi is a skilled and empathetic interviewer who offers space and safety. The interview offered me a unique opportunity to reflect on my life and what is important to me. I now have a beautiful gift that I can offer those that are dear to me."

"After the interview I felt satisfied and accomplished as if I had done something productive that would serve myself and my loved ones in the future. "

-AJ Wilkerson

"There are so many times I wish I had asked my mother and my grandmother questions about my roots and their history. Making the recording about my life lets my family know details of my past so they might understand who I am and be able to pass it along to their family. Avi made the process easy- His prompts were a great help in moving the recording forward."

-Stephanie

"It is a rare moment when we get to experience something new and interesting and inspiring. As I get older I appreciate these moments even more. Avi shared one of these magical moments with me. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and for Avi following his passion."

-Salvatore

"Avi has and is such a gift and Story Recorded is the living breathing example of when a gift is shared with others. I consider it an honor and a privilege to have been recorded and can't wait to share this gift with others."

-Tara

"What an incredible experience and opportunity to chronicle stories from my life for my kids. Lots of stories have just never been shared with them, I think because I never really thought about them in a comprehensive way. This was an excellent chance to get my history, out of my head and into the hands of my loved ones. The process was surprisingly easy (I’ll admit I was a little nervous about what it would be like). Avi has an incredible easy way about him that puts you at ease and makes it easy to share details about your life. I highly recommend to everyone to give it a try!"

-Renee

"I love the concept of being able to provide personal information enabling existing and future family members to gain a better understanding of oneself, and also the opportunity of sending a positive message for future generations. It’s a unique way of communicating and passing empathy forward. "

-Les Roberts

"Talking about my life helped me to reflect and appreciate my journey. Gaining insight into my life goals and accomplishments have helped me to better know myself. Being able to thank my children for all that they have taught me. "

-Diana Rascati

"Avi is a capable interviewer who strikes the right balance between listening with his full attention and driving the conversation forward with thoughtful questions. His tone of voice and facial expressions combined to create a comfortable environment that felt safe from start to finish."

-Roger Benson

"Before my interview, I felt somewhat apprehensive about sharing my emotional story. I wasn't sure how the challenges, grief, and loss that have been part of my journey would translate when spoken out loud in an interview format. However, Avi's caring nature, gentle tone, and calming presence put me at ease, allowing me to show up authentically. He has a real talent for guiding the conversation with professionalism, active listening, and skill, creating a safe and comfortable space for me to open up. To my surprise, this experience was extremely rewarding, not only because it documented my life story so far, but also because it invited me to reflect and dive inward, gaining a newfound appreciation for my experiences. Hearing myself speak about my journey out loud even provided me with a fresh perspective. Having gone through this meaningful experience, I wish I had the chance to interview my mother before she passed away. Avi, this is a brilliant and unique concept, and I'm truly grateful for the experience. Thank you!"

-Maryandra

"Midway through my interview with Avi, my heart clenched when I thought how much I would have loved for him to have interviewed my mom and dad before they passed.  In fact, I would love to have interviews with each member of my clan to pass on to the next generation. With warmth and relaxed pacing, Avi asked me questions that drew me deeper and deeper into complex memories I had not thought about for decades.  His patience and genuine interest drew out details I had almost forgotten. Sharing my story out loud left me feeling relieved and somehow, elated. I encourage you to do an interview with Avi. Consider capturing and preserving the legacy of your loved ones for those that will follow you. "

-Jonathan Foust

"This is such an amazing idea, it brings huge value. One day I won't physically be here but my story will be to share with my kids, their kids and our family. This was an incredibly unique experience. Avi was amazing, the questions he asks, the patience he has for the process , and his kindness was truly wonderful. I felt safe, relaxed, and at ease during the interview. I highly recommend giving this a try, especially if you have kids or grandchildren. I wish this was something that was available years ago so I could see some of my family and hear their voices again now that they are no longer physically here. What a gift! Thank you!"

-Michelle S.

"Let's say it with an image. What you did, Avi, was making a picture of me, a close up of my mind and soul. It was more than beneficial it was liberating. I felt so calm and at peace with myself afterwards. The gratitude I feel is beyond words, so grateful that you facilitated, to allow me to reflect profoundly on who I am in this life. You have a very special gift Avi. Thank you for your presence in my life."

-Vanessa Verheyden

"The interview was relaxed. The questions asked were well directed and opened the door for introspection. The topics explored related to meaningful topics. The interview gave me new perspective on old issues. Avi is a masterful interviewer. My answers are now preserved for my children, as well as as for me to reflect on in the future. "

-Arthur Cantor

-Alla

"It was brilliant. I wish I had more useful tips for ways to improve. It was truly flawless. I love your insight and the thoughtful way the conversation felt fluid and organic. "

-Bhakti

"Prior to the interview, I found the reminder emails and short survey to be helpful, especially the questions that got me thinking more deeply around who I envisioned as the primary audience of my interview (my daughter and future family) as well as some topics I could focus on during the call. On the day of the call, I felt a little unsure how I would fill the time or if I would struggle to find things to speak about. However once we got started, that all went away. I liked the questions Avi posed, they were general enough to take in many directions at my own discretion, but also specific enough that it gave me something to build on without much effort. Some of the questions were not entirely expected, like "what was your relationship with school?" I also thought the way in which Avi delivered the questions felt thoughtful and curious, but also as if he was giving lots of space for you to take the lead. All of this Made me feel comfortable and eventually it felt like I had momentum. In the end, I felt like it was a therapeutic experience that left me feeling lighter afterward. Just feeling "listened to" can do interesting things to a person, which was an ancillary benefit of the whole experience."

-Joseph

"I put my life into words in under 1 1/2 hrs :-) It was seamless, and I can't wait to see it, and I can't wait to show my grandkids it. Thank you, Avi."

-Andrea Frank

"I felt really lucid. I know you were hearing what I was saying; therefore, my words were of value."

-Helena

"I would like to do this again. Actually, I could do it once a month with you, because I had aha moments just in this hour that I've never experienced before. You have the ability to make me feel safe. You emit reactions and feelings with your energy and aura. The way that you will approach a subject, a question, and how you allow things to unfold. It's such a gift to be able to work with you, and it just felt like a regular conversation, and that to me is the best part of the whole thing. So thank you. "

-Lisa Mosher

-Michael OBrien

"I felt seen and heard. You created a space that made it okay to be vulnerable, and that is such a beautiful gift that you have. The way you listened and asked questions was phenomenal.

-Debra

"I feel like there were moments of emotion where I touched on things that had more of the drama factor where if this was a TV documentary it would have been highlighted but you moved the conversation along and didn't hone in on these moments and I greatly appreciated this. "

-Michelle G.

"A great way to get to know your family better, and understand what's important to them. I feel like we made our own family documentary, and it's fun for everyone! "

-Mitch
