What if your family could hear your voice, see your messages, and learn your stories years after you're gone? And what if the most meaningful thing you leave behind isn't money or property, but the memories and lessons only you can share?In this episode of the Glovisor Podcast, Joe Abreu speaks with Cory McCaskey, co-founder of Before I'm Gone, about preserving your legacy and making sure the messages that matter most aren't left unsaid.After surviving a catastrophic motorcycle accident and facing other serious personal challenges, Cory developed a powerful perspective on time, purpose, and what we leave behind. That perspective helped inspire a platform designed to preserve personal stories, video messages, and important information for loved ones.Cory explains how Before I'm Gone works, including how people can record messages for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and future generations. He also discusses the platform's guided life story interviews, built-in AI assistance for wording messages, teleprompter features, and the ability to organize important end-of-life information for family members.Cory's central message is simple: don't wait until it's too late to share what matters.
