Capture your authentic story in rich & relatable narrative

Carry your values & wisdom forward to future generations

Steward your living & lasting legacy for your family

Our vision is for the greatest transfer of wealth in history to come as values—not valuables.

– Renown Publishing's vision

Don't Let Your Mission Die With You

Why did the founder of IKEA make sure his company is never publicly traded?

How does Chick-Fil-A multiply their culture of impeccable service?

What purpose drives Hobby Lobby to honor God & family?

The answers are found in these companies’ stories—which have all been shared in the form of books.

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight with no vision.”

— Helen Keller

Don’t Share Too Little of Your Story Before It’s Too Late.

You’ve faithfully built a life through blood, sweat, and tears. But have you…

Stewarded your mission for future generations?
Codified your values through the power of story?
Empowered next-gen inheritors with purpose?

“If there is not intentional communication ... it's tantamount to withholding affection.You didn't just get where you are overnight—and your kids and grandkids need to hear those stories."

— Russ Crosson

THE LEGACY
STORYTELLING METHOD

Steward your life's purpose by capturing and cultivating your story

A partnership with Renown Publishing surrounds you with literary professionals to guide you through the work of producing and printing your legacy story so that you can make a generational impact through values-based continuity—without overloading your schedule.

We call it The Legacy Storytelling Method: a powerfully simple process that brings focus and intentionality to communicating your heart and mission to future generations.

For 1 hour of your time per week, you will embark on a journey that clarifies values and purposes, strengthens generational bonds, stewards valuable wisdom, cultivates deep family roots, empowers next-gen impact, and fosters peace of mind. It looks like the following:

Document Your Story

Unearth gems inside of you as you discover how your values were forged.

Personal Interviews: You meet with us 2-4 times per month to reflect on meaningful moments & share your authentic story.

Capture Your Legacy

Video clips of memories & inspiring moments shared during your interviews.

Write & Print Your Book

Pass on your values through storytelling rather than instruction.

Printed Books: We capture your legacy story in written form so that your purpose & values carry forward beyond idle heirlooms.

Letters to Loved Ones

Cultivate familial harmony & resolve any unfinished business.

Gift Boxes

Present your book & mementos to family in beautiful heirloom boxes.

Strengthen Bonds

Steward your living & lasting legacy for your family.

Virtuous Mementos: We help you develop tangible & heartfelt messages that will ripple with love & wisdom for generations.

Don’t Let the Door Close
to a Library. It’s You.

The Legacy Storytelling Method champions what you stand for and

weaves timeless tales into a rich, captivating message.

Showcase all who have contributed to your life's milestones in a

memorable, relatable, and inviting way.

Convey a Strong Sense of
History, Purpose, & Vision

We highlight what has distinguished and shaped your life—solidifying the transfer of familial knowledge and demonstrating why values matter and how they contribute to the overall purpose and mission of your legacy.

Foster connectedness and timeless principles that bring your loved ones together in achieving greater societal impact.

Earn Trust & Buy-In From Future Generations

Renown Publishing aims to help your great grandchildren see themselves in your legacy story so that they feel connected to you at a profound level and opened to your wisdom.

Shine a light on the difficulties you've faced and the decisions you've made that have solidified your values, core beliefs, and vision for your family.

You are the Guide—Not the Hero

The Legacy Storytelling Method is a journey that

bestows dignity and respect beyond the patriarch or matriarch, adds meaning to people's lives,
and provides a roadmap for keeping your family

going in the right direction, for the right reasons, with the right people.

What Family Storytelling Promotes

“…higher levels of self-esteem, competence, and fewer behavior problems." — Psychology Today
“…higher levels of emotional well-being, identity achievement, self-worth, and the ability to plan for the future.” — The Atlantic
“… lower levels of anxiety and depression … [and] increased resilience.” — Washington Post

write, and steward your values-rich story. Renown has written, edited, and worked on hundreds of books (including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-sellers, and the #1 book on all

Our vision is for the greatest transfer of wealth in history to come as values—not valuables.

Our mission is to help high-impact families capture their values & cultivate familial harmony through the power of story.
Our moonshot outcome is to empower next-generation inheritors with a strong sense of identity & purpose, inspiring virtuous acts that leverage trillions for human flourishing.
Our Legacy Storytelling Method helps you connect to the human heart through the power of story so that you can pass on character qualities and ideals to your children and grandchildren for generations to come.
