– Renown Publishing's vision

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
