The interview that finds the story.
Marcel builds a deep, personal interview for someone whose story matters — then asks it one question at a time, by voice, whenever they have ten minutes. Nothing they say is ever lost.
How it works
Tell it why. It does the homework. They just talk.
Say what you want to find
The book someone should write. A parent's life, in their own voice. The story behind a career. A direction is enough.
Marcel does the homework
It gathers what's already known, drafts the story so far, and asks you to fill in the parts only you know. Then it writes the questions.
They answer, out loud
One question at a time, on their phone, ten minutes whenever they have them. Every word is recorded, transcribed and kept.
"Tell me about the kitchen table you grew up around. Who sat where?"
What it's for
Some stories only come out if someone asks.
The book in them
For the executive, founder or expert with a book somewhere inside them. Marcel finds the conviction and the scenes before anyone writes a word.
A life, in their own voice
For a grandparent, a parent, a mentor. The childhood, the turning points, the things nobody thought to ask — captured while there's time.
Your own story
For a career change, a milestone, or just to understand how you got here. Sometimes the person who most needs the interview is you.
What we believe
Built for the person doing the talking.
Voice first
Talking is where the real material is. Polished writing is where it goes to hide.
Ten minutes at a time
No sit-down sessions. Open it, answer one thing, close it. It remembers where you were.
Nothing is ever lost
Every recording is saved before anything else happens, even with no signal.
Nobody is interviewed in secret
The person answering always knows, and sees what Marcel gathered about them.
