The Leaves Legacy Project: A Vision Unveiled
This revolutionary venture was sparked by Michael O'Donnell, a serial tech entrepreneur, and Anthony Phills, an award-winning AI design visionary. Complemented by a team of seasoned storytellers and tech experts, they've united decades of experience in crafting narratives for global brands. Together, they conceived Leaves as an innovative and inclusive social platform—The Leaves Legacy Project—where everyone can weave their story.
Leaves is a social media platform for people to tell, share, and preserve their life stories. It’s not a genealogy site. Leaves does not research your ancestry or diagram the branches in your family tree. Leaves are the stories attached to the branches. A leaf is a story. Leaves can be compiled into an autobiography, a personal memoir, or simply a collection of stories to share with family and friends. Leaves can also be used to create a tribute to recently departed loved ones, or a slide show at weddings to introduce the history of the couple and how they met.
Leaves is for people who want to write their autobiography, a memoir, or stories of the special people, places and events that shaped their life’s journey. Baby Boomers, in particular, will find Leaves invaluable for sharing family stories with their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. However, with Leaves’ Virtual Biographer in your pocket, people can capture and produce short stories as they happen. This makes Leaves usable by anyone with a smart phone.
Most people reach a point in their lives when they think about their legacy. They want to write their autobiography or a memoir. They want to set the record straight, or perhaps share things few others know about them and their experiences. However, most people don’t know where to start.
• It seems a daunting task to write about one’s life, even the most important parts. Leaves Virtual Biographer makes it easy.
• People are not sure what stories their kids, grandkids and future generations want to hear. Leaves solicits their input.
• Many people are not good writers or storytellers. Leaves makes every story fun and engaging.
• Hiring a professional biographer or memoir writer costs $10,000 and up — unaffordable for most people.
• People often don’t recall important details. Their memories have faded. Leaves transports you back in time with memory flashbacks.
• Some people find it difficult to get into a “groove” that spurs creativity. Leaves provides the motivation and energy to start.
• The popular social media sites make it virtually impossible to view, share, or save stories anywhere other than on their websites. Leaves makes it easy for you to "save" and backup your stories offline, or to other digital platforms.
Leaves starts by creating a Summary Biography of one’s life. We call this, "Timeless Tale." A narrator covers the highlights. It creates the foundation and framework for rich storytelling. Leaves creates an interactive timeline of one’s life milestones, and an interactive map of places lived, schooled, worked, and traveled. It captures the loved ones and other special people who shaped one’s journey. The summary biography is followed by a Virtual Biographer who interviews the storyteller about specific experiences and memories. Leaves also tells each person’s story with historical context, weaving in the socioeconomic and cultural happenings of the time.
Yes, it’s free to create one’s Timeless Tale - Summary Biography, Interactive Life Timeline and Life Map. No obligation. Leaves also creates one free MP4 video for download and sharing with family and friends. Subsequent MP4 downloads have a nominal charge.
Leaves makes money by offering high value, premium services. These services are purely optional for folks who want to dive deeper into their lived experiences and preserve them for future generations. These services include a personal virtual biographer, encrypted messaging system for personal messages which loved ones can retrieve in the future, and publishing one’s life story as a printed book.
