In this episode of The Naked Truth Movement we talk with Mike O'Krent about the lessons/themes he uncovered from interviewing Holocaust survivors and more.
Mike O'Krent is the founder of LifeStories Alive, LLC, a
business specializing in the making of personal history “legacy”
videos for families, businesses and non-profit organizations. In a
life-changing experience, from 1996 through 2000 Mike interviewed
Holocaust
survivors for Steven Spielberg’s Survivors of the Shoah Visual
History Foundation, now the USC Shoah Foundation. It was through
that experience he discovered the significance and technique of
recording the life stories of loved ones, which forms the basis for
his LifeStories business. Since founding the business in 2006, Mike
has expanded its expertise beyond capturing personal histories for
families to now include recording the histories of businesses and
non-profit organizations. The professionally produced videos can be
used externally to promote the organization or internally as a
training tool for new employees/volunteers.
