Are Some Stories Too Precious to Fade into Time?
I hope this message finds each of you very well. I could not be more delighted to have the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Hall, the Cofounder of No Story Lost, who has a passion for storytelling, connection, and preserving legacies. Some stories are too precious to fade into time. For Andrew and his cousin Jeremy Bryant, their grandfather’s storytelling was exactly that, a treasure of wisdom, humor, and life lessons that deserve to be preserved. Their family often spoke about writing down his stories before they were lost, but it wasn’t until one pivotal moment that Andrew and Jeremy decided to act.
They sat with their grandfather, listened intently, and carefully transcribed his words. It was then that they realized that the true weight of what they had captured was not just memories, but it was a precious legacy. That experience led them to create No Story Lost, a service dedicated to transforming cherished family narratives into beautifully crafted coffee table books, ensuring that the voices of loved ones will continue to echo across generations.
I’m looking forward to talking with Andrew, who is joining us from Vancouver, British Columbia, about his journey walking away from the corporate world to build something truly meaningful alongside his cousin, the unique ways No Story Lost captures the voices and wisdom of those we cherish and how memories live on through their beautifully designed memorial books. Andrew will also share his insights on what it means to live a remarkable life and how No Story Lost is able to foster comfort, connection, and healing for families through the power of storytelling.
Andrew, a heartfelt welcome to the show.
I’m happy to be here. Thanks for the very thorough and generous introduction.
It’s my pleasure, as I like to tell you and our audience, that I like people to know who they’re listening to because you’re not just some random guy popping up. There’s a lot to you, and they should know about that before they hear what you’ve got to say.
We retire on our memories and stories. Share on X
We’re more than just our job titles, right?
The Grandfather’s Legacy: A PIVOTAL Moment
Absolutely. There are a lot of layers there. I want to start speaking of your biggest layer, your grandfather. I know that you had a very challenging process of documenting his story. Eventually, through your own path, you meandered from a role in accounting, and then you worked for a nonprofit, and then you started this venture with your cousin. Do you want to tell us about your grandfather and how this all took place in your life? I’m sure when you first started out as a kid, you never thought you’d have a business like this and that you would be working with people like this.
No. It’s strange how you have no idea as a kid where you’re going to end up. The best laid plans always meander anyway. My cousin is my best buddy in the world. We don’t live in the same city anymore, but we grew up together in the same city, and we’re on the same side of the family, and we had one grandfather in common.

Throughout our childhoods, we heard all of his stories. We always have him singing songs, reading out poems, telling jokes, elbowing you in the ribs, either physically or metaphorically. He was the total prankster. Throughout our childhood, we heard our families say, “Someone has to write these stories down.” Grandpa was probably in his 70s at the time. “Someone has to write these down before they’re gone.” Fast forward, we got dream corporate jobs. Jeremy, my cousin, and I quit those corporate jobs at 23 to start a nonprofit, which we ran for nine years.
What was the nonprofit about?
It was called Meal Share, and we would partner with restaurants, and if someone bought a Meal Share item, we would provide one meal to a child in need. A buy one, give one program for food. That’s a whole other hour-long episode, but that was an amazing journey. During that time, grandpa was aging back in our hometown, and we went back and visited, and here we were hearing the same thing over and over, “Someone has to write these down. He is telling stories that no one is capturing.”
At age 27 and 28, whatever we were, we said, “We’ve heard this enough times. No one is getting off their butts and doing this,” so we tried. We thought we could pull together a biography. We sat and interviewed him. I’ve got fun photos of us sitting with him in his living room and asking him to retell his stories, and caught lots of new ones too.
He must have had a blast, by the way. He probably loved sharing with you.
He was such a talker, and I’m sure it must be special to share it with your grandkids, but he loved it too. We finally captured some rough audio, and over the following months, we pulled it together. It’s a humble book, but we got the first version done. It’s pretty thin. It doesn’t have everything. As you said, we learned the hard way. It was no easy feat to pull together a book.
The thread between the two businesses we ran together was that we were in corporate jobs and we thought we want to run businesses that make the world better. With our nonprofit, and then with No Story Lost, how can we make the world better through business? We struggled through, like, “We have audio. What do we do next?” “I guess we’ll transcribe it, then what?”
“We then need to turn it into a manuscript.” “Okay, how do we add photos? Where do you print a book?” We learned all these hard lessons and tried to figure it out. At the end, when we handed this out to the family, it was incredible to have it finally done. Our business heads combined to think it was hard, and it’s super valuable. Maybe there’s something here. Maybe there’s a business here.
No Story Lost: Transforming Family Narratives
That’s fabulous. You’ve worked through all your kinks, all that you’ve done, and I know you have a talented team of interviewers, transcriptionists. This is a big deal now. Writers and designers include a person’s best memories through their narrative-centered question process. Now you have this whole well-orchestrated, well-managed organization to make these beautiful books. Do you want to go through your process of how you guys do that?
We learned that we weren’t super talented at any of those many roles, but we’re pretty good at coordinating other people and bringing together a village to make that happen. Now we have a team of dedicated people in each of those roles. When we are having interviews with these storytellers, we have amazing interviewers asking those questions and asking questions beyond just, “Where did you go to elementary school, then where did you go to high school?”
We try to dig in and find the stories hiding underneath, ask more interesting questions that can elicit a memory from further away in your bank. I think we all settle into the stories that we tend to tell from time to time, but when you can give a little nudge to a different part of the brain and pull up something they haven’t said in a while, it’s so much richer.
Storytelling: We all settle into the stories we tend to tell. But when you can nudge a different part of the brain and pull up something they haven’t said in a while, it’s so much richer.
We like to dig with our questions, and then we have the audio captured, which is a nice export at the end when we’re giving everything to the family. It’s nice to have the audio as well. I can talk about that with my grandpa, too. We transcribe those, and we write them into a beautiful manuscript with talented writers. We package it all up with photos from the family and their favorite color choices.
That goes to our design team, who then sends a version back to the family, and they see a digital version. They get to put their edits on it. We ship an all-color 8 by 10, like a proper book these days. You can see that’s a lot more fulsome. This might have been about four hours of interviews for a book like this. With my grandpa’s, it was black and white, but now we’re full color.
Do people work with you to say what colors they want, or do you choose those colors?
People will usually tell us their favorite color, and it tends to just be beyond like, “I like blue.” The most recent one we did was like, “My grandma always wears purple to church on Sundays, and everything in her apartment is like this rich red.” When we bring a color palette together, it’s usually deeper than just a one-off favorite color. It’s usually got some meaning, or it comes from the iconic photo that some people have, like the best photo they’ve ever had. You pull the hues out from that. We get creative with the color palettes.
You wanted to tell me a little story about your grandfather with the audio?
We finished his book in 2018, and then he passed in 2020. Of course, we like to page through this book, and everyone in the family has a copy, but from time to time, to bring up the old audio clips. It’s another level of visceral memory of him, because there’s just so much character in someone’s voice. You can read the words that he said, but then hearing them out loud is awesome. Favorite stories, I got a couple. Here we have his ID card from work from the ‘40s or so. I went up to him a few years ago and said, “They spelled your name wrong on your ID card.” He said, “You were lucky if you got a name at all back then.” That was his way of talking and his sense of humor.
How old was he when he passed, Andrew?
He would’ve been 93.
He lived a beautiful, fulsome life.
He did. I have one grandparent left, and I’m 36, so I’m pretty lucky. All my grandparents made it to about 90 at least.
The Power of Tone: Capturing Authentic Voices
That’s beautiful. That’s good news for you. What style and tone are used for the stories? I know you use personal photos to enhance them, but you’re asking all these questions. Is the style and tone from the family, or do they choose who they want to represent?
I was just mentioning how you want to recall the voice of the person telling the stories, so our goal is to rewrite all the transcripts into a nicely flowing manuscript, but keep the voice tone, mannerisms, even words that they use so that when you read the page, you should hear their voice in your head a little bit. We are not ghostwriting, rewriting. It’s first person as if they wrote it. Even some of the funny little sayings and things should come through in the writing if we hit our goal.
What if they want the book for the person, but they’ve got memory issues, or they’re hard of hearing, or they’ve got some complication going on? You are dealing with older people.
We see that a lot. For memory issues, sending the questions in advance can help just to cue the memory. Oftentimes, storytellers like to have a child on the line with them or in the room with them. Just a little bit of clarification. This also helps with hearing problems and maybe repeating a question out loud. You’ve joked about being a Boomer and being hard on yourself about your technology. Now I’d say not all, but most of our storytellers know their way around their phone and their laptop a little bit, which is nice.
What about if you got two people, like someone wants to do a story about their parents or whatever? How does that work, instead of one person?
We do books about multiple people. There’s a small additional charge for that. What we usually do is interview each parent separately about the early part of their life.
What happens if some of the stories conflict?
It’s funny, whenever you get a couple telling the story of how they met, there’s usually a little bit of a different point of view. That’s always fun. It’s also important because a lot of couples you’ll have someone who’s the talker and one who’s the silent type. If we don’t interview them separately, you find one voice fades into the background a little bit. We like to give people their own interview time and then bring them together for 1 or 2 interviews and see how their dynamic is. On the pages, we print the voices in different colors, so you know who gave which answer.
That’s so smart. That’s great. Can clients be as involved or hands-off? Do sometimes people hand it to you and say, “Just do it? I know that there are three things that you ask to ensure each project is a success. Tell us about that.
We will have people who will send the proof, and they’ll say, “This looks amazing. I’m so excited. Print it.” Others will comb through every word for 30,000 words and make little changes all the way through. We give a couple of rounds of edits, but people can be as thorough or uninvolved as they choose there. Elements of a successful project are photos. Getting photos from the same periods of life, providing us with captions, and letting us place them in the right order. As I showed you when I opened the book, it brings it to life. A manuscript is great, but pictures next to the stories are incredible.
In our welcome calls, we ask family members, “Are there any stories we should ask and stories maybe we shouldn’t ask about?” People are pretty good about knowing areas not to get into, and then areas that light people up. If we can spend lots of time in the areas where people are talking about their passions, then they will provide richer stories.
You don’t visit some of the painful episodes in their lives that they don’t want to talk about?
You know what, oftentimes, there’s a quick bond between the storyteller and our interviewer, and we’ll sometimes go there because we’re on the topic, or we’re in the chronological era, and then they’ll say, “Can you not print that?” That’s also fine. They find so much value and talking through that by the time they’re rolling, they want to talk about it. You don’t always want to print some of the harder parts of your life. We can do that too.
Do your interviewers sometimes feel that they’re like psychologists in a way, hearing some of these stories?
That’s a nice thing too. Usually, it’s a client purchasing this for their parent. They want to buy the book for their parent to hear their stories. There’s often reluctance from the storyteller, and then it turns out that they end up enjoying the process. Not only do you get a beautiful book at the end, but I’d say, like 9 out of 10 times, the person enjoys telling their stories. Half the time, that’s a surprise to them. They’re like, “I was a bit hesitant, but then I loved talking about my life.”
Storytelling as Healing: A Path to Connection
Sounds like in a strange way, what you’re doing is a bit of healing for the person whose story it is, because you’re giving some of them a voice that they never had before.
It can be healing for sure. I also find that if we go for dinner with our family, the topics of conversation might be politics, sports, traffic, and weather. How often do you take the time to go deep and ask about someone’s childhood or teenage years? Here’s the interesting thing to remember. In your life, all the depth of emotion, all the thoughts that have rolled through your head for however many years, your parents experience that depth too. They’ve had that whole range of emotions, and you probably haven’t asked them about it. It is pretty special, and people do feel heard in a different way sometimes. Sometimes, no one has ever asked them about these stories.
In some families, the dynamic is that they don’t talk about emotions. It feels to me like sometimes you get information that people never talked about, or maybe weren’t even conscious, but now they’re finding this beautiful morsel about their loved one that gives them a different perspective. It can be healing on the other side of that, also.
I like your word perspective there. Once you’ve heard a lifetime’s worth of stories from your parent, maybe you see the way they see the world a little bit differently.
Once you’ve heard a lifetime of stories from your parents, you might just see the world a little differently. Share on X
You understand where they were coming from when they did that thing that you couldn’t stand. Now you understand why, where they were coming from as opposed to your viewpoint as a kid or whatever. As you understand it, you can even start to forgive them for whatever that was.
I love the quote I saw, which was like, “Be easy on your parents. Remember that they’re living life for the first time too.”
That’s beautiful. I love that. That’s wonderful. I have to write that one down. That’s great. How fast do you complete a book? What happens if someone is sick and they’re afraid that they’re going to cross over before you know it?
When people come to us with that, we’ll see who’s available on our team, and we will try to get through interviews as quickly as we can. There was a time somebody did interviews like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, which is pretty quick for us. We usually meet once a week.
They could be online, too. Right?
Phone or Zoom. It’s pretty rare that we happen to have a writer in the same city. It’s mostly online, but usually it’s once a week, and people take that time in between to reflect and think about the next questions. In some cases, to your point, we need to interview as quickly as we can. We offer that whenever we can pull it off. A book has been done as fast as two months, but that requires photos are ready, the captions are ready, and edits go back and forth quickly. I’d say like 4 to 6 months is a cushy, comfortable pace. Some families have become very cushy and comfortable, and their stories are a long-term work in progress.
They’re getting into it.
They’re letting it sit on the shelf sometimes. Pretty much once there’s a deadline, then we work through it with the family, and we tend to reach that. The open-ended ones can last a little while.
Have people said, “I ordered one copy, but I think I want to give this out to about 45 people,” or something? Do you do that with people?
Yeah. We do one copy included with the project, because a lot of people just need the one. I’d say most families order 4, 5, or 6, but a couple of very excited people have ordered them by the hundreds. I don’t know, I think they just sit at their house, and they’re popular people, and they give them out, and other times, they ship them all over the country to their friends. That’s pretty fun. I think about 200 is the most we’ve done.
That’s cool, though. What a great Christmas present. Are there any special stories that you’ve done with No Story Lost that have made a particular impact on you, people’s stories that were pretty amazing, or the results that came from interviewing them that surprised you?
A couple of special ones for me. One, because she represents so many people. I think she said, “I’m not sure this is for me. I don’t have any interesting stories.” Fast forward, I see the first transcript come through. She talks about living in London during the war, and how a bomb came through their roof, through their second story, landed in their living room, didn’t explode, and they went to live down the street at the neighbors’ while the bomb squad came and removed this unexploded bomb. Isn’t this the person with no stories to tell?
I think when you live in your own shoes for a lifetime, everything seems so “Of course” to you, but everybody has something interesting from their childhood. Even if you don’t have a bomb coming through your house story, it’s so meaningful to your kids and grandkids, again, just to know like the sports you played growing up, who your best friend’s names were, what your neighborhood smelled like on the way home from school. These little things that we’ve never talked about with our family. She always represents that for me.
From a nerdy history perspective, interviewing so many Americans, lots of Canadians, Brits, and Australians, too, but mid-century history stuff is so cool. People being at a Kennedy rally and stuff puts you into the decades when they were in their twenties. I love hearing about old college stories or Americana, like that.
You’re getting a lot of history, so it’s amazing. You have this thing called memorial books. Tell us about that.
We’re working on a few right now. We’re wrapping up a big one where we had 15 or 16 people contribute to a memorial book for a man who passed away in his 30s. It was pretty tragic. It’s been slow for obvious reasons, because I think it’s been quite hard for the family to work through that process and to be ready to talk about it and interview about it. Not only talk about it to a close friend about how you’re feeling, but to revisit it all.
In some cases, it’s situations like that where it’s like the community around the person coming together to remember them and honor them. In other cases, it’s somebody who finds out about us and they lost their one parent five years ago, and their other parent is still around, and they want to learn everything they can about their parent who’s still with them, and about the parent who’s lost. It can be beautiful to ask a few siblings and a spouse to just come and share stories about the person they recently lost, and help them live on a little bit that way.
In Memorial Books: Honoring Departed Loved Ones
I think that’s so wonderful. Especially in the case of a young person who passes, and the whole family gets to have this, so the person is alive in their homes. I think that’s wonderful. Now I know I’m going to ask you about a book you authored called Die Gallantly. You explored what it means to live a meaningful life with Andrew. I know that through No Story Lost, you’ve gathered personal reflections from people nearing their final moments.
I was fascinated when I read Die Gallantly, because in it, you state that EMTs often hear final thoughts centered on forgiveness, remembrance, and longing for purpose, while nurses witnessed deeper regrets, wishing a person had lived more authentically, loved more fully, and embraced happiness without fear. Do you feel these reflections are universal truths? Does that come through in the stories when people are talking about their life stories and all, and do they express regrets like this in your No Story Lost books?
Lots to say here. Thanks for the question. There’s a blog post about this on our website if people are curious, and I’ve summarized what the two people said. One of them is an EMT who would show up on the scene, maybe in the final moments of someone’s life when they’re not expecting to go. It’s maybe a car accident or something. They would ask him like, “Will you remember me? Will my family forgive me?” As you said, the final one of his three big ones was whether their lives have meaning. They needed to know that their life wasn’t just wasted on minutia.
They’re asking the stranger because it’s in the last moment of their life.
Maybe the only person they’ll see. It’s a great TED Talk, that one. The nurses’ ones are usually more of a perspective of people who maybe know they’re in their final moments, they’re closer to the end of their life. I think she was a palliative nurse. That might be a little bit more of like a slower reflective thinking back on their life type of feeling.
Those ones, I would say, we tend to hear a bit closer to because we aren’t interviewing people in trauma, usually. It’s more so just a reflective part of their life. I would say the ones that we see come through that are the same as the nurse would be letting yourself be happier. “I wish I had let myself be happier or not worked so hard,” and the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the life others expected of me. Another one that’s maybe not in the nurse’s one, the most common one I see is just like, “It’s all about family. It’s all about love.” That’s what our biggest reflection that we hear is.
On spiritual terms, that’s being loving and kind to everyone, which I got when they pulled me out of my car. When you think about what you’re saying, it’s about how many people are not conscious of living their lives in a loving way with kindness, and then they have these regrets later in life. Do you ever ask them, when you’re doing these memorial books or the books for the people who are still around, “Do you have any regrets that you’d like to express?” Do you ever go there?
We usually touch on that one unless we’ve been warned not to. The recent ones I’ve seen in books as I’m poking my head or editing them is about living a life true to myself. Not living the life your parents want for you, not the one your spouse wants for you. That’s the wisdom we are being given from people looking back with no time to change it. People who still have years to live, it’s all about hearing that and saying like, “What do I truly want to do? What do I want to experience in this life? Where do I want to go? What career do I want to have? What do I want?”
Look what happened to you. You found your purpose. This is just my opinion, my perception. You’re altruistic. You started a charity, a philanthropy. You started a not-for-profit. You have this big heart, and you were going to be dealing with numbers your whole life. You were with Deloitte. Look what happened here. You hopefully will not have any regrets. You made a contribution.
That’s the goal. We looked ahead in our careers, we saw the 40-year paths, and we said we could do it. We’re lucky to have the opportunity, but we could make a positive impact with our careers. Instead, we could still do business, we could still run businesses, but we could do so in a way that, hopefully, makes the world better at the cost of other things. That’s what we want to dedicate some time to. The first decade and a half of our career, at least so far, is in that direction.
Do you want to tell us about what you feel, the profound role of storytelling? I’m trying to ask you, what role does storytelling play in grief, healing, and remembrance? I’m sure that you see that all the time. It’s sort of a bridge, right?
Yeah. Multiple ways. I’m remembering a quote from a book called Die with Zero, another book with the word “Die” in it. It says that not only do we retire on our savings, but we retire on our memories. Towards the end of our lives, we’re looking back, and one of the things that provides us with so much value is what we do in life. That’s our memories and that’s our stories. It’s the stories we’re going to tell to our friends, to reminisce, to pass on to the next generation, our advice. It all comes from our life experience.
It’s all that we have. Once we’re gone, our loved ones’ memories of us and stories with us are mostly all that is left of us. There’s the quote, too, that’s like “You die twice. Your first death is when you die, and your second death is when the last person says your name.” In another sense, the last person who talks about you or reminisces about you, and that sort of thing. Look at you telling Saul’s story and speaking about him many years later, keeping his name alive, keeping his stories alive.
Also, in a way like you’re doing, extending the goodness to other people and sharing. I get to meet Andrew because of the story that I had. I know you have a promo that you’re offering to our wonderful audience. Would you like to tell them about that? We’ll have links and all of that.
We do one printed copy of the book with every package. With the code REBIRTH, you’ll get two extra copies of your book printed for free. A copy to share with another family member or two
Finding Joy: Stoic Principles for a Meaningful Life
Sounds like a great deal to me. What is the Andrew Hall tip for finding joy in life?
I think we touched on my book quickly. Maybe we touched on stoicism in our introduction, but the biggest thing that has caused me to find more joy and appreciation in life is the stoic principles, stoicism. There’s an incredible book called A Guide to the Good Life, all about the Greek and Roman Stoics. There’s a series of exercises and things to do, which are primarily gratitude practices. Things like knowing that you’re going to be gone someday.
Another one is the quote that’s like, “Everything you have is on loan to you from fortune.” They call it from fortune. Whether you’re religious or whatever you want to call it, it’s given to you, but it’s on loan, and it can be taken back anytime. That’s an opportunity to look around at everything you have and be thankful for it, and know that I have this right now, and it’s on loan right now, and I’m going to be thankful for it while I have it. Who knows?
That’s a beautiful way to look at life, Andrew.
I’d say that all the practices in that book have raised my happiness floor to a higher level at any given time. There are still ups and downs. It’s not a silver bullet, but that’s a really good baseline for being so thankful for every day and everything in your life and every person in your life.
That’s a very elevated way to look at life, by the way. It’s a high vibe. You’re living a high-vibe life. That’s wonderful.
Thank you.
Andrew, No Story Lost is surely a gift beyond measure. The chance to reserve the voices, wisdom, and love of those who matter most, ensuring their presence is never lost to time. Through its pages, their spirit is kept alive, allowing their presence to be felt once more, to hear their laughter, treasure their wisdom, and hold close their precious pivotal moments.
From my heart, I thank you for this wonderful conversation and for the incredible work you’re doing to bring peace, remembrance, and lasting connection to so many people, ensuring that no story is ever truly lost, only carried forward, cherished, and kept close forever. Thank you so much, Andrew, for this lovely interview and many blessings.
That was beautiful. Thanks for having me.
Thank you.

About Andrew Hall
Andrew Hall is the Co-Founder of No Story Lost. He started No Story Lost with his cousin and best pal, Jeremy. No Story Lost was born after Andrew and Jeremy recorded their Grandfather’s story; they saw how important the result was for their family, but also how much hard work it was to do without a service to help. When Andrew’s not working, he enjoys traveling, playing sports, and spending time with friends and family.
