As the family historian and memory-keeper in my family, I've inherited my fair share of legacy artifacts, photos and videos. I've spent countless hours researching ways to organize, preserve and share these memories so that the stories of past generations can live on into the future. Today on the Podcast, we called in Expert Archivist and The Photo Curator, Kate Jacus, to chat about ways we can preserve our legacy in the fringe moments between or hectic real lives. Kate has a Masters Degree in Museum Studies, has worked for the Smithsonian in DC and the Strong Museum in Rochester, NY cataloging and curating their precious artifacts. She's also a photographer, photo manager and organizer and mom... so she gets just how challenging the struggle is to manage your own personal collections.

Our guest this week is Leah Plunkett, author of the book SHARENTHOOD, and faculty at Harvard Law School and faculty associate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. Leah and I recently reconnected when I had the opportunity to capture some new headshots for her website upgrade. You may have heard of her before – she's literally an armchair expert and Dr. Phil trusts her as an expert panelist. She's been featured in the New Yorker, the Economist, Good Morning America, PBS, and more. She's a self described “Law Nerd” who spends most of her days reading through privacy laws and educating parents about ways we can “advocate” for our kids and guide them in ways to protect themselves in this ever evolving digital world. Leah wrote Sharethood to shine light on the mistakes adults make with kids' private information, the risks of that result and the legal system that enables the collection of your child's digital footprint from often before they are born! In this episode, we discuss practical ways we as parents can be more mindful about what we say about our kids online, what apps we use, and how we can model safe sharing in the digital world for our children.
