Thank you, Sherry, for sharing your story with Sound Legacy!!

At 86, she’s a first-generation American who grew up in a small Midwest town, where her parents ran a local Chinese restaurant- The Canton Cafe. Later in life, she’s taken up both art and acting.

Sound Legacy is in Colorado this week doing a series of audio-only legacy interviews. If you’ve ever thought about preserving your story, Sound Legacy is here to help.

In this episode of the Sound Legacy podcast, Andrew sits down with Mike O’Krent - O'Krent - founder of Life Stories Alive (https://www.lifestoriesalive.com) and a fellow storyteller in the family legacy business. Mike’s journey is anything but ordinary: from his early days riding horses in San Antonio to interviewing Holocaust survivors for Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Foundation, he shares how curiosity, compassion, and a deep love for people led him to a calling.

Together, they discuss the sacred act of listening, what it means to ask the right questions, and how tragedy can transform into wisdom over time. Mike’s stories are rich with humor, history, and heart, and his insights into legacy work offer inspiration for anyone who’s ever thought, “I wish I had asked them more.”

When Firuze Gokce and her family moved from Turkey to Petaluma, California, they’d never even visited. But something about a podcast host’s voice, the pull of the ocean, and a gut-level trust in intuition led them across the world—and into a new life.
In this episode, Firuze shares her journey from tech entrepreneur to visual artist and whale advocate. Raised in a home filled with political debate, family meals, and compassion, Firuze’s love of storytelling—and marine life—was passed down from her father. Now, she creates vivid, sound-inspired paintings that honor whales, spark curiosity, and support conservation. She and host Andrew Couch explore identity, values, motherhood, migration, and what it means to live with intention.
This is a story about listening—across cultures, generations, and even species. Listen now, and share it with someone who knows that the eyes of a whale—and the heart of an artist—can teach us how to live with more wonder.
