London Forum member Roy Moëd and his wife, Yvette Conn, are co-founders of LifeBook Memoirs, a private autobiography service that has produced over 20,000 books since its inception in 2011. They talk to Jessica Fellowes about the psychological benefits for their clients of writing out their legacies, often revealing things that no one in their family knew before!
Keen philanthropists and charity volunteers, Roy and Yvette have long and successful careers as entrepreneurs and in the City, respectively. But it's this second stage of their work, which they engage in together, that seems to bring them the most reward.
'When you have someone with the emotional intellect and engagement actually interviewing, they're very adept at that. It's the hesitation, it's the sigh, it's the breath that someone takes before they answer a question that says a lot. AI can't do that.'
