Michael Peres with Michelle Gomes—co-founder & CEO of Evaheld, the Australian “health-meets-death tech” platform helping families preserve stories, values, and advance-care wishes through secure legacy vaults and modern memorials. We unpack how a personal loss sparked a decade of volunteering and the startup that followed, and why capturing memories before crisis changes everything.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• The origin of Evaheld and why “legacy tech” matters now
• How legacy vaults, video prompts, and modern memorials actually work
• Advance-care planning 101: dignity, consent, and practical next steps
• Security, privacy, and compliance when safeguarding family histories
• Partnering with providers/insurers and building mission-driven products
• Simple frameworks to start recording stories with loved ones today
