Jeff Kay | Turning Personal Loss Into a Legacy Business

What happens when life’s most painful losses turn into your life’s purpose? In this episode, we sit down with Jeff Kay, founder of My Digital Memories, a company dedicated to rescuing photos, films, tapes, and family history before they disappear forever. Jeff shares how losing loved ones at a young age sparked a lifelong mission to preserve memories and protect family legacies.

From forgotten VHS tapes and handwritten notes on the backs of photographs to genealogy discoveries that connect generations, Jeff explains why memories aren’t just sentimental, they’re intellectual property, emotional anchors, and pieces of who we are.

We talk about why people procrastinate preserving memories, what happens after disasters like fires or floods, and how digitizing your past can bring clarity, healing, and connection for future generations. This conversation is a powerful reminder that once memories are gone, they’re gone and that taking action today matters more than we think.
