What Stories Are You Waiting Too Long to Ask For? Preserving Family Stories with Brad Koch

October 3, 2026·32m

What stories disappear when the people we love are no longer here to tell them? In this episode of Notes From the Edge, Lisa Lacy sits down with entrepreneur, business coach, former United States Marine, and founder of The Story Project, Brad Koch, for a deeply human conversation about family stories, grief, memory, legacy, and the things we often wait too long to ask. Brad shares how the loss of his father-in-law, and the realization that his wife wished she had more recordings of his voice, face, mannerisms, and stories, helped inspire The Story Project. Lisa and Brad explore why knowing someone’s story can completely change the way we understand our family, our childhood, our trauma, and even ourselves. This is a conversation about remembering where we came from while the people who came before us are still here to tell us.
