In this episode of the Lumida Legacy Podcast, host Justin Gilder talks with Erikson Dickens, co-founder and creative director of Platinum Peak, about the profound impact of legacy documentaries. They explore the emotional and cathartic process of capturing and preserving the legacies of individuals, particularly for high-net-worth families and foundations. Through discussing Erikson's personal journey into filmmaking sparked by a tribute to his late father, the conversation delves into how storytelling through film creates a lasting impact on families by memorializing the values, challenges, and successes of their loved ones for future generations. The discussion also touches on the complexities of legacy, the importance of storytelling in legacy preservation, and how Erikson's work has affected his own views on life and legacy planning.
