What this actually is
Over 12 weeks, I conduct a series of one-to-one guided interviews with your family — separately and together.
I record everything.
Your parent tells their story, properly and in full.
Your children share what they know, what they've always wondered, what they've never quite known how to ask.
Then I weave it all together into an 8–10 chapter documentary of their life — built around the Stories That Matter most to your family.
The chapters you half-knew.
The ones you never thought to ask about.
The ones sitting just behind the kitchen-table version of your mum or dad, waiting for someone to open the right door.
At the end, you have something to listen to for the rest of your life.
But that's not really the point.
The point is what happens in the room.
How your dad laughs differently when he's not performing for the whole family.
How your mum tells the story of how they met — and you realise you've only ever heard the short version.
How you leave the experience understanding them a little differently.
And, if I'm honest, understanding yourself a little differently too.
That's what we talk about on the Discovery call.
Don’t take my word for it
"I didn't think I needed Neil. What's so hard about asking your parents questions? Well, quite a lot. This is something you don't know you need until you do it — and Neil makes it a joy."
Luke, Son
"It's only when you stop, talk and take the time to actively listen that you realise the subtle influences, experiences and reasons for why you are the person you are. Very thought-provoking and insightful."
Samantha, Daughter
"The whole experience bought us closer together. We spoke on the phone on Sunday and were joking about a lot of the stuff — 'Dad being a secret thrill-seeker' — haha."
Simon, Son
"We laughed together. We cried together. I got a chance to tell him how amazing I think he is. And we can relive those moments by listening again, whenever."
Steve, Son
Still on the fence?
"Is this a sales pitch?"
Not really. I spend a fair amount of discovery calls talking families out of it if the timing isn't right. The experience only works when a family is genuinely ready — and I'd rather tell you that now than three weeks in.
"We're not sure we need this."
That's the most common thing I hear. The drift between parents and children rarely feels urgent — until it does. If something brought you to this page, that's probably worth a 30-minute conversation.
"How much does it cost?"
I don't put the price on the website. Not to be evasive — but because every family is different, and I'd rather understand yours first. If you set aside 1hr, we can cover it on the call, honestly.
"Do I need my parents on board before I book?"
No. Book the call first. We'll figure the rest out together.
Where this started
My dad died in 2012. My son was born six days later. They never met.
I didn't record a single conversation with my dad. Not one.
I thought there'd be more time — there always is, until there isn't.
What I carry now is a version of him assembled from memory.
From what my mum tells me.
From the fragments I caught over the years, between football and jobs and the ordinary rush of living.
I built Me & My Old Man because I couldn't bear for other families to wake up to that gap.
Not out of dread.
Out of something simpler: there are conversations happening in your family right now — around kitchen tables, in the car, on the phone — that you're only half-hearing.
This experience makes space for the rest of it.
Ready to have this conversation?
Thirty minutes. No commitment.
Just a conversation about your family, what you're looking for, and whether this is the right fit.
