The Man Using AI To Let You Live Forever (Without Being Rich Or Famous) – Steve Endacott

What if your great‑grandchildren could sit down and talk to you… 100 years from now? In this emotional and mind‑bending conversation, entrepreneur Steve Endacott reveals how he’s building Life Echo – an AI-powered legacy platform that lets anyone, not just billionaires and celebrities, preserve their voice, stories, and values for future generations. Steven shares the deeply personal story of losing his mother to dementia, how that pain led to building a “digital echo” of a life, and why he believes every “ordinary” person has an extraordinary story worth saving. We dive into the technology behind conversational AI autobiographies, the ethics of talking to someone after they’ve died, how this can transform grieving, and what AI really means for work, wealth, and meaning in the next decade. This episode will change how you think about memory, death, and legacy—and what you do with your next five hours on earth.
