Honest question for entrepreneurs with kids:
Ever had that 3am thought? "If I died tomorrow, would my kids know why I worked so hard? Would they know I'm proud of them? Would they have my advice when they need it?"
I keep meeting successful founders who've built million-dollar companies but never recorded a single message for their kids' future.
So I'm testing an idea: record messages for your kids to receive at future moments. Their graduation. First business. Wedding. Or when you're gone.
Need brutal honesty:
- Do you think about this? Or just me?
- Would you actually DO it? Or keep putting it off?
- What stops you from recording on your phone right now?
- What would make you actually sit down and do this?
Genuinely testing if this problem is real or just in my head.
Thanks 🙏
Built something for the "what if I die tomorrow" fear. Testing if other entrepreneurs feel this too.

Always nice to have, freak accidents happen all the time
The idea is solid, I think there are a few platforms doing/adding this feature. The problem is that most people have the “that’s terrible but that won’t happen to me mentality” until it happens to them.
I swear a contractor sat at my kitchen table and discussed a very similar idea with me about 3.5 years ago. He claimed he was building it with a few guys. As far as I know I’ve never seen it commercially available.
I think it’s an interesting concept and a good idea depending on how it’s executed in real life.
I mainly thought this was interesting because as entrepreneurs we are often told it’s not the idea, it’s the execution. And in this case, I literally heard this unexecuted idea a few years ago..lol
The people that truly want to do this, do it. A phone or recording device is dirty cheap at this point in time. Heck, some people write letters for their kids. It’s not lack of ability or ease that is stopping people from doing this
