  Speaker 1: Hey friends, I'm Nikki Smith, your host here at A Heart that Beats For Home, the podcast where we're ditching filters and diving headfirst into the raw beauty of all things home.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Now, I am no expert when it comes to this whole parenting and marriage dance.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: I'm simply a gal who's been riding the mom roller coaster for 22 years and a wife still untangling the mystery of it all 25 years after saying I do.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: My goal is to bring you unapologetically messy and boldly genuine conversations about cultivating strong families.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We're going to laugh, possibly cry, and straight talk about the joy and chaos that comes within the four walls that we call home.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: No judgment and certainly no perfection, just real talk from my heart, a heart that beats for home.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Let's dive in.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Hello everyone, welcome back to another week here on the podcast at A Heart that Beats For Home.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We are so excited to have you joining us.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We are in the month of March and we are doing a series called Streamline your Life March, I think all things spring cleaning, summers coming, slowing down, getting organized and some of the topics that we're going to be touching on this month Streamlining your calendar, your home, your health and beauty and also your memories and memorabilia.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You guys, I have to tell you that this is the one of the series that I'm super, super excited about, because I am passionate about this.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I would get a billboard and advertise for this whole project, and it has been.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I will say, in my parenting, probably one of my most proud accomplishments over the last decade is tackling the project of organizing all things digital Memories, pictures, dvds, vhss, photo albums all of the things that we all, as moms, have laying around our home that, if we're being honest, probably really overwhelm us, because there's stuff in all the different corners, there's things in closets, in cabinets, in rubber made bins, maybe in shoeboxes, all throughout our house.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: When your kid comes home and they have to do that famous school project and you need the baby pictures, and you're literally panicked because you have things all over the place.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing is organized.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Or maybe you worry about losing a lot of those precious memories because they're outdated.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I know that this is something that all of us moms maybe there's like that 1% of superhero moms that already have this all figured out and streamlined but I will tell you that in the last year year and a half maybe I have been able to totally get an A plus when it comes to preserving memories, and I'm excited to share with you guys how I've been able to do that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I know some of you have been sitting with me at different things where you have seen me pull up my phone and immediately move to a photo of our wedding pictures or maybe a baby picture or a kid's baby picture right from my phone anywhere I'm at, and I know a lot of you have said how the heck did you do that?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I am excited to share with you today my secret sauce for how I've been able to do that, and I'm going to introduce you to a dear friend you guys.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Sherry is a friend of mine just through this process.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We were introduced through my mother and Sherry has literally helped me get this completely under control.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So we are going to talk today, just in a fun conversation, about what are the tools that Sherry can come alongside you with so that you also can kind of get all this memorabilia safe, secure, accessible, because what good is it if it's all stored away and able for your family to enjoy for generations to come?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome, sherry.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here with us.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Love for you just to tell our listeners a little bit about who you are and maybe, after telling us a little bit about your family, how you kind of got connected in this realm of work.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, nikki, you definitely get an A plus, and all over the last course of the last year or so, and it's been my honor to help you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: My name is Sherry Meisner and I come from central Wisconsin, but I love that I can help people all over the world with the joy of Zoom technology.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I was I'm a mom of three, my husband's a large dairy farmer, and I dreamed of staying home with my three children when they were little, and so I decided to give it a run and turn my hobby and passion of preserving my family memories into a business, because I just realized that everyone was taking photos, but almost no one was taking care of them, and as soon as the digital world hit, it just got harder and harder, and so many people needed not only simple and easy solutions, like you found, but they needed someone like me to come alongside them and help them and guide them and just break it down for them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I was a special ed teacher in my first career, and so it just is real natural for me to be able to help people break it down into small, manageable, bite-sized chunks that you can feel successful at, and I love being a resource for questions and I love answering them and staying connected to everybody to help them meet their photo goals.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: And what's cool is everyone's goals are a little different and that's okay, and it's been just truly a blessing to help people not feel so overwhelmed but find joy in the process and find joy in their memories again, because I really think it is important and I can't wait for you to share more about your children and how much they love their memories, to have them in our lives.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You know it's why we take our photos is to enjoy them.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Absolutely Okay.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So, sherry, for people who are like just maybe totally overwhelmed, let's just take an imaginary mom Maybe we'll just use me as an example Somebody who really loves photos.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And I think back to, like my childhood photos, and you know you had a 35 millimeter or whatever it was, and pictures were expensive and so you had to decide when am I going to use my camera, which picture am I going to take?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Then you had to get it developed.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: When things came back, you would hope that one of the three, maybe if you took three of one, you know situation that one of those was good and you'd have these random one off photos and then we would just put them in boxes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We, a lot of us, have that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: We have this situation that we have like.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: For me, specifically, my first daughter, who's 21, madison.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All of her photos were 35 millimeter.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: There was not digital photos, we had the VHS.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So we have lots and lots of the.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was the high VHS and then high eight, and so that was kind of her childhood.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Then my next daughter, who's 18, pretty much the same, but by the time she was like one.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: We were starting to get into a little bit more of the digital.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I had the Canon Rebel camera.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I was so proud of myself and all the memory cards and all the things that I would just keep buying new memory cards because I didn't even know what to do with all the digital photos, those Ziploc baggies full of just, you know, tons of megabytes of just pictures on little tiny discs.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Then by the time my son Landon came, pretty much we were for the most part pretty much digital and now everything is just phone when I look around my house, before my pre-Sherry's days I had the zip drives.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I had computers that were old, that I had stored because I had so much on the hard drives I didn't know what to do with.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I had the actual printed pictures, I had the digital pictures.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I had the photo albums, the VHSs, the CDs, all of these things.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It was just always overwhelming.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And being able to take every single one of those formats and put them into one place I mean it seems so dramatic to say has changed my life.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: But you do not realize how often you want to access that stuff until you have it in a form that you can.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I think when you know it's like I don't have time to go dig for it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to find that photo.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You just don't do anything with it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: But when you have it all accessible, I probably open my app I mean probably five times a week to look for something, to show somebody, something.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: We can talk more about even other little hacks on how I figured out how to use this app, just for our family's ease of storage.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But can you kind of just tell our listeners what is it that you're actually doing, what are you helping with, how is this getting stored and how is it so much different than, let's say, like a Google Photos?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Because that's where I was doing a lot of my stuff before meeting you and you allowed me to kind of see some of the flaws and maybe why that's not the best option.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Just kind of give us an overview of how everything gets to one place and then what that app, that kind of app experience, is for people that choose to use this direction in organizing their memories.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and you are totally normal.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: And if you're listening and you feel like you're Nikki, the stuff everywhere.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: That's exactly why I stay so busy and I love my job and so passionate, because I, you're normal and that's that's.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: That's all what everyone feels.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So forever is a company that is more than just a website.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It is truly a complete memory keeping solution, and the best part is is I come alongside you and work alongside you, one project at a time.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So let's start with all those VHS tapes and photos that you have printed now to get them digitized.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: So we have a state of the art digitization facility near Green Bay, wisconsin, that digitizes, by train technicians, all of your old memories.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: And you know we all have those VHS tapes and often the other pictures or videos of loved ones no longer with us, and maybe voices of our small children, and that we can digitize those and so they can be viewable again and not outdated.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And then we pull together all of your digital images into this one permanent solution, one home for all your memories.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And so, with our permanent cloud storage, we bring not only your current and your digitized videos that we just had.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: We can bring them all together in one place From there then I can help you organize as you so wish.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: There's, you know, simple organization to more complex, if you like.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of somewhere in between, usually towards more simple.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: So it's not hard, it's not overwhelming, it's the hardest part is just starting.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So the goal is for me to help you get everything in one place and then start managing it so you can enjoy and access, just like you said.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So how is it different from the other sites?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of you probably use Google photos or an iCloud and you know those are great sites for their purpose.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: But how is forever different with the site that I use?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: How is it different than some of those?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The first one, I would say, is it's private.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: We all know that Google is not private.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Right, that's kind of a joke.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: We all know that Google is data mining us, which I didn't really understand at first, but I think today, in today's world, we want our photos and memories private for our family and once they're in Google or iCloud, when you check that little box that terms the service.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They own your photos and they can do whatever they want with them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I've been in this business for over 22 years and, yeah, photos are gone, photos are deleted, photos disappear.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: There's not really a reason photos show up in places that you don't want your family photos to show up because they own them, and that we are not that way.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: We are private and we do not data mine your pictures.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: We don't sell your information.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Your information is private.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I guess I always laugh and say you know, grandma always taught me that no product is every free, so if it is, you're the product and they're selling my information.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: So the other way forever is really different, as you know is that we're permanent and so we paid once for our storage and we'll never pay again, and even the next generation will never pay again A lot of those other sites.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: You pay just a little bit monthly or yearly.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: But what happens if you don't pay that payment?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Your photos are gone, and it's happened to my clients so that we say those are temporary and we're permanent.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And how forever?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Can say that is?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: We have a forever guarantee fund, which over 50% of the money that we paid in for our storage cannot be used for day to day expenses or profit.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It's invested wisely, kind of like an endowment fund, and so that money, that guarantee fund, continues to grow every time someone invests in forever cloud storage and it continues to grow.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And that's why forever can say your memories are guaranteed for your lifetime plus 100 years, which is so great because you did all the work and now you know that you can pass on your photo legacy and your video legacy to your children at absolutely no cost to them.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: You know it's accessible, it's, you know, a there for them and it's going to be available to your great grandchildren as well.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: And the last really big difference is that forever offers a file format migration and what that means to you is that when we're not in JPEGs anymore or the video formats change, anything stored in your storage account will be updated for free for you, so you don't have to worry about your children getting outdated JPEGs.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Like my mom gave me slides, so we also digitize slides and negatives and anything.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, so a couple of things I want to point out specifically to my listeners, because I think sometimes, until you're actually in the process of doing this, you don't realize the value in a couple of the things that Sherry just said.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So the first thing I want to just kind of hit on that was so transformational for me to kind of grasp and understand is we think that we're doing such a great job by, okay, we're taking the stuff off of our most people.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Their photos live and die on their cell phone.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: So when something happens to your cell phone, when you didn't back it up, you hear these things all the time.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Somebody loses all of their memories or pictures.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So then there's those of us that kind of wear the you know the gold star and we say, but I upload all of my photos or I sync my phone to Google.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's great too.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Well, what would happen, like Sherry was saying, if something happened to me and my credit card expired or something happened or my family didn't even think in a process of you know, if I was ever gone that, oh, I need to go update mom's Google photos so that those stay current If something happened and that account lapsed or anything.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys, I don't know if I've ever talked about my story here on the podcast we will at some point about when my Facebook and Instagram got shut down in a moment and everything was gone.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: That same thing could happen with a Google photos, and so, although we think we're doing this great thing for our family by uploading things there, we do not own that storage and somebody else is in control of the on and off switch to those memories, and so that was huge for me to grasp that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: The other thing that Sherry mentioned and talking about is that uploading and then having it to a format Again there's.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: This is like a process that I feel like moms are always struggling with, like okay, so I got all of the VHS tapes and I transferred them probably 10 years ago, I sent everything into a company and they all came back at as CDs, dvds, and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm so awesome.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Now we have DVD home videos.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You guys, it wasn't two, three years and all of that was I don't, I don't have a DVD player in my home, so now I had 30 DVDs of childhood memories that we had no way to watch unless we went and bought a you know, a DVD player.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So the the thing that Sherry is saying that is key.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: That was huge seller.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: For me is, once I upload these things whether that be home videos, photos, whatever things are going to change pretty soon.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Jpegs are not going to be the file of choice when they are uploaded into this app.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: When that file changes automatically, all of your memories are changed to the newest format.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: So there's, you're paying for something once and it's staying current forever.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That is huge.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's one and done.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: There are not many things in a mom's life that we can do this once and it pays us back over and over and over.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So I absolutely love that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So, sherry, let's talk about a little bit.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: So somebody comes to you and they say I need to start getting.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I'm totally overwhelmed.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I've got all these different piles of things.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: What would be steps that people would take?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And I just want to give a little plug for Sherry before we move on.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: There are times in life where you think I can just handle this project, I can just go, and then there are times in life where you need the expert to kind of come alongside of you.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I want to equate, sherry to like the Pilates Instructure or the Nutrition Coach or whatever it is where you're like I do need somebody to hold me accountable.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I do need somebody to kind of help me.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Sherry is like she comes with this package.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: You don't pay Sherry by the hour.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: You get Sherry as a free resource when you start converting your products over to this company, and I just want to say that she has been so wonderful.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: She is not pushy and I think sometimes we don't want to have to get involved with somebody else in a project.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: We just want to be like I'll just eventually do it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I want you to know that you need Sherry in your life.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: If organizing your photos and digitizing things and really leaving a legacy of memorabilia is important to you and there is something so precious, like you said, sherry, about the sound and the voice and the movement of like home video and those things, that is a gift for your family, and Sherry coming alongside of you is like that extra added bonus that you need to really get this project done.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: We can talk a little bit more towards the end about what those steps look like for me and how you helped me, but can you kind of talk to what it would look like for somebody that said, hey, I really want to start doing this.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: What are some steps that I could take towards getting this project started?
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: And one thing I was thinking about while you were sharing another thing about Google, icloud, all the other sites I kind of feel like would I want to inherit?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Or my mom's camera role, right, would I want to inherit her camera role that has screenshots and recipes and shoes and receipts amongst all the beautiful gems and memories that are precious?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: And so that's the other thing I feel that I can help you do as we start.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: This process is really quickly and easily and I know that sounds so daunting and overwhelming and scary at first when you think about your camera role, but I'll help you pick out your favorites and celebrate your family through those memories and get rid of those screenshots and so you really can find and pass on a legacy to your family.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: So the hardest part about this process is literally today saying in your head yes, yes, I'm going to just start and you'll never regret it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Like Nikki said, I promise I'm not a pushy person.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I'm only here to help and guide and support and cheer you along to your photo goals.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But I'll help you break it down into manageable steps that work for your busy but blessed life.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: If you can give me even 15 minutes a day, a few days a week, I can help you be successful.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: If you can give me an hour once a week, I can help you make successful.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: If you want to move faster, we can move faster.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: If you need to move slower, you can move slower.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: If you need to take a break for a month or two, that's totally fine.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: You can come back to me whenever you need it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Life is busy, I get it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I know your life is full and you're thinking, oh, this is so daunting and one more thing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But I promise you, once we connect and set up a plan that can work for you and your time availability, in a year from today you will be so glad you started.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: When you say that, when you say if you can give me 15 minutes a day or an hour a week, you're not saying that somebody needs to come and be sitting with you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: What you're saying is they're partnering, we're going to get, we're going to maybe spend 15 minutes on the phone.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: You're going to ask somebody hey, what are your big goals?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You said it for me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You said break down.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Like my goal was I want my house to be able to burn down and me walk out the front door with my humans and our dog and not worry about one thing.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: We joke that I keep all of my old school photo albums at my front door in a cabinet, and it was strategically placed there because in my brain I thought, if my house caught on fire, how far could I chuck photo albums?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Until they said no, really, you have to leave your house.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: And so I was positioning my most precious things literally within throwing range of my front door.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And so my goal was I want, if my house I mean, I don't want my house to burn down, but if my house were to burn down I want to be able to run out the front door with my people and not be sad or scared about one thing, not one thing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: So when you're saying, give me that initial time to meet with you to kind of talk about a goal, but Sherry said to me Nikki, it's as simple now as 15 minutes a day and again we'll get into more of the nitty gritty of the processes but if you can spend 15 minutes a day with your morning cup of coffee or tea and you can start going through, maybe you're going to say today I'm going to go through June of 2020 and I'm just going to get rid of the extra stuff I don't need once everything's uploaded in the app.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That's what she's saying.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: When she's saying, give me 15 minutes a day, it's not that you're going to have to sit with her.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Sometimes that means I'm, you know, I'm literally on the couch hitting delete on 45 pictures that are duplicates or triplicates, and so that's what.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: That's what when we're committing to something.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It's just helping you break down into what's manageable for your life, so that it doesn't feel like, well, I don't have eight hours a day for two months to give to this project.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: You can literally start right now, maybe take a couple hours initially and then that consistency of 15, 20 minutes a day or a couple of times a week.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: So I kind of cut you off there because I wanted to make sure people get worried about commitment.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I want them to know that they're not like sitting with you.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: They're just deleting photos for 15 minutes a day.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll set up the first initial free consult that we can talk about your big photo goals, and then we'll talk about your break it down.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And I always tell let's start with something that would bring you the greatest joy on your list and let's start with something that causes you the most stress on your list.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: So those are the first things we would tackle the most.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: As Nikki said, her traditional scrapbooks that she had poured her lots of time and energy into were on the top of her stress list.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: So I said let's start there so you have peace in mind, so you don't have to throw them out the door if any tragedy would ever happen.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: And so I think that's a great place to start.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And then, what would bring you the most joy and I think a lot of digitizing your videos and your VHS tapes in those so you could watch them again and getting everything together in one place in the app brought you joy.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, we'll set up the plan and then I'll just give you a little step that you would work on at your convenience, at your timeframe, and then you just connect back with me when you need the next step, or if you have a question, you just reach back to me, so absolutely, thank you for clarification.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So let's dig in a little bit to the practical of what it actually looks like.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: So I keep talking about the app or the website kind of give people an overview for what that storage looks like.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: So once you start number one, what is the process of that happening?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So I decide I'm ready to get going.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Now I've got this stack of all the things that I need to get digitized or saved.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: What does that look like?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: And then the second part of that is how then do I digitally view those items from my phone or my computer?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll start.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: If you start with anything old or outdated you know, the slides, the negatives, the videos, the VHS, the reels those would get sent to our facility to digitize for you and they will put them.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: You'll have the option to bring them back on a jump drive, or what I recommend that Nikki did is our permanent cloud storage and we would put them in there.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: That's a choice, but that is where we want to get them all in one location and then from there, we work on getting all your phone pictures up to the permanent cloud storage as well, If you so wish, and then we'd start organizing them.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I wish I could sit with everybody.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll have to figure out a way to do a reel or something so I can kind of show, but so everything once you send it off.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Let's also tackle this question of well, I'm really nerd.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Like what do you mean?
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I have to send stuff somewhere, because I know that that can be a hiccup for people.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It was a definite, like the initial ones that I did.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I think I sent like 10 boxes real quickly.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Before I even tell this Sherry, tell them about, kind of, how the boxes work.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: What is that process of sending things in?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so our boxes come, like I said, from Green Bay, wisconsin.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: They are FedEx track to you, and so they have never lost a box, ever, and I feel as though the process is very, it's very trackable, it's very clean, it is a brand new facility, it is white glove service.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: The company's mission is truly your memories.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: It's our sole mission, it's our sole job, it's our sole focus is your memories and it, every ounce of care is being put into them.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, you don't have to put them and ship them to Green Bay via FedEx tract, but I always tell people, if you don't, what's the alternative?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So sure, could a FedEx truck explode or roll off a cliff?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it could.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: But what are the chances and what's your alternative?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: The alternative is them sitting in the boxes and never to be enjoyed again, and so to me it is absolutely worth every little scary, you know, to stick them in the mail or stick them in FedEx tract, but they will get there, they will arrive and you will be so glad you started that process.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you can watch, kind of, where they're at throughout the process.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: So when you the boxes that you can purchase to put your memories in, they come in different sizes depending upon what the project is that you're working on.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Again, that's all stuff that Sherry can help you with, but maybe you need to start with a small box and send a couple of things and build that confidence.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: So then you're like okay, now I'm ready to put 25 VHS's in this one box and just send it off to do that.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: And every single item as you're packing it up, has its own scan tron sticker that you're placing on that VHS, on that Ziploc of photos or whatever.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: So there are so many steps that are taken in connecting you with your memories so that if something did get put on a table it has a scan tron on it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They know exactly who it belongs to.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: It is such a precise process that you go through that I mean I don't know, sherry, I have probably sent in maybe 15, 20 boxes over the last couple of years.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the process really keeps you informed with emails and there's a in your account which I would show you.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: It shows you exactly what step everything is on and it really is streamlined and I really I appreciate you sharing that.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: It is scary initially, but once you do it once or twice and you can watch that and you can track it, it's super, super easy.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I'm confusing to like how to get started, but that's something we talk about.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I you know there's, like I said, like Nikki said, different boxes to choose from, but that's why you have me.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I will help you 100% of the way to meet, match your goals and your wishes, and we will make it work together.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and don't you think it's like anything else?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Like sure, you could say I have a goal to run a marathon.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you're not going to go run a marathon tomorrow, tomorrow you're going to go, maybe walk two miles, right, it's like this process and I think that's.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I love that you said find something that a really stresses you out and that also something that brings you joy.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Because there is so much of both of those in this project.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And I have a weird thing when you think about how photos can absolutely bring joy and they can absolutely cause a lot of stress.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: And you've helped me to really be able to streamline, right, which is what we're talking about is streamlining our life.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: And you said to me at one time, because I just kept buying more and more storage and I was like more photos, I kept finding photos and I take so many photos.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And you said to me at one point hey, would it be stressful to you if you inherited, like you said, your mom's photos?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: And there was 10, 15, 20 of every single thing you guys did?
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Would that be more stressful than opening something that had just the best, most beautiful pictures of every event and that has so drastically changed my almost like control.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I think there's something about memories that we feel like we have to hold on to everything when really there's so much freedom in, when you start to get in this process of seeing, like the beautiful things from the day you were born.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: You know if you have, if your mom has access to your home videos like on my app, I have my home videos from me in the hospital.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: On my app I have my childhood pictures, I have our wedding pictures, I have my kids home.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I literally have every single piece of memorabilia, grandparents pictures and they're all organized in a way that it's easy to find and share with my family, and so there is just such freedom in being able to keep the best of the best.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I think we get bogged down with this overwhelming feeling of I have to keep everything and we just don't need it.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: The digital world just really was overwhelming.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: So you know, like you said, when you had a, your camera, when we printed photos back in the day, you took one, two, maybe three right To go through, and now we can take three to 10 of every of every photo.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: So I really encourage all of you to control that clicker finger and try to really control how many photos you take.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And I also, really, I personally love the idea of like a daily delete or a.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: You know, even every Sunday I'm sitting around watching football with my family.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I can be deleting those unnecessary photos and the ones I take the three of at the same time.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And it's so freeing and it feels so good.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Because if my mom gave me 500 pictures of my freshman year volleyball season, you know, to me that's almost not even a blessing, it's a little bit of a burden, right.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: But if she gave me 50 of the best pictures of my season, I truly would see that as a blessing, especially now that I'm older.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Right, digital has kind of got us crazy, but I can help you through the steps on managing and breaking those down.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's such a great point because it is or you just get.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we tell ourselves I'm going to take a hundred of this and then I'm going to pick the best, and we never pick the best.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I went from when I met Sherry I think I had 75,000 pictures on my phone to within a couple months I had literally I had like 500 pictures on my phone because I wanted to keep some right there for different reasons.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: But again, just that freedom in knowing delete that phone.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I know it feels scary at first, like you can have no photos on your actual phone because they're all right there on your app which is on your phone, but it's not taking up space on your phone.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: What a concept.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, you know another thing.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we've ever even talked about this, nikki, so maybe this is a surprise.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: The other thing another lot of my clients really love is if they have a special voice message, a voicemail maybe from a loved one.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I can think of my friend who lost her husband and she uploaded you can upload voice messages to your forever storage account as audios and that's truly priceless to have that forever their voice.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: You know their voice message.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: It's just says, hey, you know, just calling to say I love you, and that's really a cool thing.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: So if you ever have a voice message or if you ever want to interview someone with, like the app on your phone, voice memos, you can interview someone in here their voice and maybe ask questions to, you know, maybe grandparents or parents, and get their story in their words, and those two can be uploaded.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: So not only can photos, videos, audios can also be uploaded to our storage, as well as any important documents or photo scans that you might have.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Wow, I love it.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: It truly is a one stop shop.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So when I think about this app, so I just want to help our listeners kind of get maybe a little visual of what it looks like.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: So if you can imagine that there's an app on your phone that you can open and it is just divided, you can again, like Sherry said, you can organize this however you want.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So as simple or as complex, for me I wanted to be able to easily find a things by each child and be kind of chronologically through the years, and so my app, when you open it again, just right there as right on their phone, you open that app and mine opens up to be probably 30 different photo albums and it starts with my oldest, madison, and you can then go into Madison's album and you can have nested albums so I could have, you know, an album for every year of her life that I'm dumping pictures into you, since she's an athlete you can take and you can have a folder that is her basketball and inside that can be every single year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: So now if I need a basketball picture for something for Madison, I literally have, from fifth grade until college, by year, just that, that team picture that you took that you threw into a bin.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Right when Maddie started basketball in fifth grade, we were still buying all of those pictures, your school pictures, all of those things.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: You can put all of these things into the albums that you want.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: They're right there.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You can add the videos If you have video clips, any of that kind of stuff.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I then started working backwards once I got current with the things that were in my house and I started to say, hey, I want pictures of my husband when he was a kid.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: So gathering those pictures of my husband when he was a child, so that he has an album that has a handful of his childhood and baby pictures and his parents and his grandparents, our wedding, our honeymoon, all these different things but they're organized so easily than chronologically by year.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: So, if I know, in 2015, we went to the Bahamas and I need that picture on, you know, the beach.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I know 2015.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It's right there.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It's so, so simple.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: But here is the thing and I know you had asked me, sherry, to specifically talk about this, so I definitely want to.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Here is the thing that has been so special for me as a mom.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: So when I have this app, I am then able to two things that I think are really amazing.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: My mom is also.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: My mom is the one that got me into this and introduced me to Sherry, so you are able to have a, and I don't.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Is it called an administrator, sherry?
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: What's it called on your page when you can let somebody oh, an account manager an account manager, thank you.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: So you can have an account manager.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: So my mom has all of her pictures in her app and she can make me an account manager.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: So if something ever happens to my mom or there needs somebody that has access to it, I can go in there and have access to all of those memories.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: And, like Sherry said, you guys, it's your life plus a hundred years when you buy your storage and I think we don't really think through that, what that actually means.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: That means that my kids, my grandkids, all of those people are going to be able to enjoy this, and then we can talk more about how you could transfer that and have that continue to go on, but Sherry is there to help you with that.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, and the plan is many generations past that too.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: So that is, it's as it continues to grow.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of, that's as long as they can say, but yes, continue on Right, which a hundred years is a heck of a lot better than my credit card expiring in 12 months, right, if something happened to me.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: What's so amazing about this app is once you, as the mom, kind of do the work to get it all organized, maybe you're the dad that's going to take this on, maybe you're, as a couple, are going to take this on, maybe you're going to do it with a girlfriend, or you're going to do it with your mom and you're going to kind of keep each other accountable.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Once you have this set up and in the process of it, you can add friends in To your album.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: So, just like we would do, like on Facebook or whatever, you can have people that can have access to.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: All your pictures are just a certain albums.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: So me with adult children, I'm able to give my children they download that same app onto their phone.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: They're getting the free version of it, but then I am making them a friend or allowing them to see albums.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: So my children, so my daughter, 21 at college, at any second of any day, can open her phone at college, have access to all of her baby pictures, all of anything that I've put in there from all of her childhood she can be.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: She has told me that she has watched home videos of when she was a child at college.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: When she's feeling homesick or when she's thinking about a memory or when she wants to.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: When you're talking to friends and you're meeting, you know new people and you're talking about growing up and they ask a question and you're like, oh my gosh, I can show you, like you can literally open up and show somebody, but my kids have access to all of it all of the time, and the amount of times that we have even just sat down on the couch, and now, with technology and being able to screen share right, pulling up home videos on my phone and Screen-sharing them to a hotel TV, when we're all together or on vacation and we're talking about this trip that we took and we literally Pull up and look at a home video together.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: We have looked at and and valued and treasured our memories more in the last year than the 18 years prior to me doing this combined, and I think that is the coolest gift that we can give our family just to have that stuff right at their fingertips.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: You know a photo tells that person you're important to me.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I have always believed that and I will always believe that, and being you have done such an amazing job that your family Can access them.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Because life is hard, let's be real, right.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: And so when you're having a tough day, I always say, looking at the memories is the best way to build yourself esteem, it's the best way to build your mood and increase your mood, and so now you have it done.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: You know you worked hard for the last year and a half, but now you're just managing it, and you know you are speedy, fast.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Some people take Five, ten, twenty years to get where you're at, and that's okay too.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: It's your pace.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: But it's truly a gift we can give to the next generation of our story and our legacy and who we are as a family, and it doesn't have to be that overwhelming.
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: So thank you, nikki.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: That is, you are amazing, and I can tell how passionate you are.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: In your family Are so lucky to have that gift that you've created for them, and I love that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Your mom has it too, and your sister, so you can share and your kids can start.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: My kids have now started preserving their memories in their account and so I've taught them to preserve their memories.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: And my oldest, who is 22, my son, said mom, I get it.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Now I get it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: I look in my storage account and I see all my memories and everything that's important to me.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: And then I look in your account and I get it because you know that's your life in our childhood and I love that and I love seeing it.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: And so it's really fun to see the generation starting to take care of their photos.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Because you know we, whenever we are having fun or we are laughing or we have a memory, we capture beauty, we take a photo.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: We take photos all the time, every day.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: We take photos of things.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: We don't want to forget things, we want to map, you know, a memory, and usually when we're having fun or but when we're sad or we want to remember, we look for those photos.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: And that's what I want to help you do.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I want you to help you capture, celebrate, organize those memories that you take the photo for a reason.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Let me help you get into place that when you need to find that memory, or you want to share that laugh, or you're sad and you need to look for a memory that you can find it again, because they are important and you are a perfect example.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I love that so much and I think that, again, you know, on this mom journey it's what we talk about here most on the podcast is that perfect can absolutely be the enemy of good.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: And even if you know when you think about if all your stuff is gone.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: But if you knew, okay, that one day I just decided to say yes to this journey and I uploaded that one VHS and my favorite 40 pictures from, you know, my kids, childhood would you be thrilled that you did that one small thing, overdoing nothing, because you felt overwhelmed, like literally every single person that's listening to this that feels overwhelmed.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: You could, in one hour, literally in one hour, you could have a conversation with Sherry and have a handful of pictures and a VHS uploaded in a moments time and you would never be sad about that.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: You would never, ever be sad.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes we just need to tip our toe in.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: That's kind of where I started with you, like let's just digitize all of my scrapbooks so that I don't have to worry about throwing them out the door, like that was kind of the start.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: And then, once you start to see the power in, this is actually really simple Compound interest of small amounts of time over time and how that impacts.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: But literally, if it's for somebody like this, this precious thing of my grandma, Just digitize that one thing and get it to a safe place and start there.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: So, sherry, to kind of transition into next steps.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: So anybody that's listening, I'm so thrilled that you guys can all have a $20 coupon towards digitizing, towards uploading whatever it might be.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: You can find us at tiny url, dot-com, backslash safe photo storage.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So again, tiny urlcom, backslash safe photo storage.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: And again, we'll put all of this in the show notes.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: But if you follow that link, it will take you right to a referral page when you'll see my name and you fill that out.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: That's gonna connect you with Sherry and that's gonna instantly give you a $20 credit to use towards that first little project that you want to work on, that app.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Sherry, could you also kind of just tell people, when they download, there's the website and there's an app, so you can do this on your phone, on your home computer, but what is it that they get when they get that free app?
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: What do they have access to?
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so when you sign up for a free login off of that link that Nikki just shared with you, you will get two gigs free to give it a try.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: So she like she said just start, upload your favorite couple hundred photos, it will take you minutes, I'll help you and you'll get that $20 coupon when you use her link.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: And so I think Starting small is a great place to start.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: You know, you don't, you know, think big, dream big, right, but start small, and I think that is the key there.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and don't believe the lie that, oh, my pictures are already somewhere.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: They're safe.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I remember just last I think it was just within the last year, sherry that shutter fly sent me a message because I had uploaded a ton of stuff to Shutter fly and it was a message basically saying, if you don't spend a certain amount of money in the next couple months, that everything is gone.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Do you know how many people didn't see that email and lost all of their memories?
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: You guys, this I don't want to make it sound Like this is an emergency, but we sometimes have false security, and this is the first time that I really have true security, knowing they're safe, they're secure, they're private and they're there for generations to come.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: So it is an investment worth making.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I would encourage you to have a conversation with Sherry, download that app again.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: All of this information will be in the show notes, so it's super easy for you to access and Just kind of decide with Sherry.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: What is it that I want to work on?
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Is it my family photos?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Is it something from my grandma or my mom's generation that I really want to work on?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Do I need to just store stuff?
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Do I need to digitize?
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Whatever it might be, sherry, is your one-stop guide to get this all done.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: So we are just excited for you guys to streamline this part of your life.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: It is worth it.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: It pays back over and over and over and over in joy and satisfaction and legacy.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: There is a legacy in this.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: I Would be so sad if I didn't have this to give to my children.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: It is a part of their story and with that I also want to give all of you, mom, as a challenge that we are really bad at putting ourselves in the pictures.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: I want to encourage you, I want to challenge you, right, sherry?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Like mom, you better take the picture.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Stop worrying about I look frazzled.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: I look at.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: My most precious pictures that I look of of my mom are when she's in the kitchen in her, you know, casual clothes with kids all over.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I want my kids to see me in my real life, what it was.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I don't just want the fancy yearly Christmas card picture where everybody's all put together.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I want the real deal with me in it.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: So, moms, take the picture, have your husband take the picture, have your kids take the picture, but be part of that process.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Don't hand down all of their memories that you aren't a part of, because you were too afraid to get in front of the camera.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I you know.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: One last thing, nikki.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I know this is not something that's been on your Goal list, but just so you know that forever is really truly a one-stop shop for all your memory needs.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: I also help people, in fast and easy ways, create Photo books for their memories and stories so you can pass down the story in your storage.

  Speaker 2: You can write the story behind in the description.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: So there's so much more to the store, this, the storage.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: You can tell the story, but I can also, if you ever wish, I can help you put it in fast and easy books.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: We have books that are made automatically for you, as well as gifts and cards, and giving a photo gift truly is.

• 45:52
  Speaker 2: So if you're into your genealogy and you hit a roadblock, we have researchers that can help you with that.

• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and I actually have teams that also do it for you.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: So if the idea of this is perfect to you and you love this idea, but you're like there is just no way I can do this, but it's really important to me, I can have someone do it for you as well, whether that's creating that photo book or even helping you organize and delete the doubles, and I can tell you more about that process, but it's been going great for a lot of my clients.
