Show Notes:
Tim and Tannis Roberts take time to share about the evolution of Echobox Memory Vault, a storytelling, memory-keeping, ad-free technology that can enhance quality of life for individuals by having opportunities to share their stories and capture what matters to them which loved ones and other care partners can then learn from to develop person-centred and relationship-centred approaches.
"Echobox Memory Vault began as a sketch and a set of notes on our kitchen table", Tim and Tannis share on their website. They live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where they raise two daughters and manage Echobox. Music, travel and food are often priorities in their lives as they always enjoy meeting new people and exploring new places.
Tim is an artist and musician who enjoys watching his favourite hockey team struggle and Tannis (a book-lover through and through) loves family genealogy and is always hunting down the next mouthwatering recipe to bubble up! Both feel incredibly fortunate to be running Echobox Memory Vault and greatly appreciate this opportunity to do their part for people everywhere.
