So many people think:

“I’m not a writer — but I have a story…”
“I want to save this memory before it fades.”
“I just wish it was easier to make something meaningful.”

That’s exactly what Peyton and AllTales are here to solve.

What started as a passion project to honor his grandfather turned into a full platform that helps others publish the stories they’ve been carrying for years — stories that deserve to be shared, remembered, and passed down.

What We Cover in This Episode:

How to turn your personal memories into illustrated books
The power of everyday stories — and why they matter
A new, ethical way to use AI for storytelling
Why self-publishing doesn’t have to be overwhelming
Time, purpose, and building a legacy as a new dad and entrepreneur

More Than a Gift

This isn’t about selling books — it’s about giving voice to the moments and people that shape who we are. Whether it’s for the holidays, a special milestone, or just because… this is something they’ll keep forever.

If you’ve been meaning to write something down, make something personal, or preserve your family history, this episode will show you exactly where to start.
