We don't really get to know the people around us the way we ultimately would want to and we will

realize that at some point in your life and usually, unfortunately, it's too late to have those

conversations. And you know, you don't ask for various reasons. You don't want to pry, you don't

want to hurt them. You know, maybe you just don't feel like you have time or maybe you feel like

you have tons of time to, you know, ask them later at some other unclear moment. But what's the

saddest thing? And this is the one thing I deal with on a daily basis is having a parent or a

loved one or sister or someone get diagnosed with something and poof, they're gone. And the

family is, there are so many things they don't know and that they didn't get a chance to ask.

That's really sad. Aside from the fact that those future generations will never get to know those

people who had such an impact on who you are and in your life, that you would really like other

people to know about them. That's what we wanted to change.

Heather, welcome to the unmistakable creative. Thanks so much for taking the time to join us.

Thank you for having me. It is my pleasure to have you here. So I found out about your story by

a way of your public system when I found out what you're doing and what you're building. I thought,

yeah, this is kind of an ombre or I love everything that this is about and what you're working on.

But before we get into all that, I wanted to start asking what did your parents do for work and

how did that end up shaping the choices that you ended up making for your life in your career?

Well, first of all, thank you for loving what we do. We love it also as obviously.
