072. Navigating Father Loss & Preserving a Loved One’s Legacy with Matt Jacobson of Lifebooks

Today we’re chatting with Matt Jacobson, the Co-Founder and CEO of Lifebooks. In this vulnerable episode, Matt shares his personal journey with grief following the loss of his father to esophageal cancer when he was just 21. Something I resonate with deeply, as I lost my mom to this type of cancer, too.

In honor of his father, Matt launched Lifebooks—an innovative legacy book that allows families and friends to create hardbound memorial books through a collaborative online platform.

These memorial books are designed to last for generations with contributions from various family members and friends, offering a personal and meaningful way to preserve your loved ones’s legacy.

Here we dive into Matt's background, his experience with coping with grief, the highs and lows of developing Lifebooks, and finding purpose amidst our grief and staying active as a means of healing.
