In 2021, I lost my dad.
I tried to help him write his story.
But it was slow, hard -
and it didn’t sound like him.
And now he is gone.
Along with his stories.
His voice. His joyful chuckle.
So that’s why I created Me & My Old Man…
To connect families* around stories like these…
*Mums, Dads, Grandparents, Loved Ones!
“But even more than the recordings, it was the whole experience, that has genuinely better connected us all together. It gave us an opportunity to let our Dad shine, and crucially tell him how proud we are of him for once - sharing feelings in our family doesn’t come easily in our family!
I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

Testimonials
David (Dad)
“This experience gave me the opportunity to share my story with my son in a way that everyday life never allows. It’s a priceless gift, allowing him to truly know me, my past, and the lessons I’ve learned."
Simon (Son)
“I haven’t stopped reflecting on yesterday morning. What an amazing hour. Thank you so much. You rock and what you’re doing for other people totally rocks too. Yesterday’s blown my mind a little. Bits I missed, bits I want to answer better, bits I can’t wait to find out more about. Thank you.”
Stephen (Son)
“Neil brings more than a slick process; he is a empathetic listener, light and fun whilst asking insightful questions in a way that uncovers details about my dad that I might never have known otherwise…
I can't impress enough the value of the experience; what it means to our family and how he has crafted it. All the while putting my dad's story front and centre. Highly recommend!”
How it works
What follows is specific to the Glow Family Package - see Pricing page for other options)
1. Reflect
With prompts developed from over 200+ hours of interviews, I’ll share with you primer material to get you thinking deeply about someone you love.
When was the last time you did that?!
2. Brief
We talk about your loved one: what you want to know, what makes them tick, the bits that grate or make you laugh, and any boundaries.
Outcomes: a recording for your parent to cherish, and a clear, tailored plan for the interviews.
3. Chat
Minimum two relaxed, 2 hour sessions I guide, and they simply talk.
Benefit: rich stories and details you’ve never heard—without you having to play interviewer.
4. Listen
Studio-quality audiobook, 4–6 hours, cut into chapters with music and gentle transitions.
The joy: Easy to hit play, easy to share, easy to come back to.
5. Connect
A family moment to hold space
We listen together, share highlights, and capture reactions as a way to wrap up the experience.
Why? It turns the whole thing into a shared experience, not just a file.
