I’m answering a calling.

Before this was Lifekeep, it was just me, a man with a camera, a heavy heart, and the belief that stories, if preserved, could heal the world.

My name is Cody Milewski,

I am the founder of Lifekeep but more than that, I am a servant. I’ve spent years behind the camera, creating films and stories for companies that made millions. But all the while, something deeper stirred in me, a knowing that my real purpose wasn’t to build brands, but to preserve legacies.

It began when I filmed my grandmother in her final days. She shared stories that cleared the air, but also stirred pain. It taught me what to do and what not to do. Later, I filmed a dying mother for one of my brides. She passed two weeks later, but the story we captured brought her daughter peace. I saw the power of legacy preservation firsthand. Not just in theory, in the tears, the healing, the peace that followed. That’s when I knew: this is holy work.

I’m building Lifekeep as a way to serve, not as the world serves, but as Jesus served: by washing feet, by listening, by honoring the least. I believe the servant is not greater than the master, and the master is not greater than the servant. We are here to serve one another. That’s what Lifekeep is, a service of love.

As a father now, I’m doing for my children what I do for others: leaving them my voice, my values, and my final words. A scavenger hunt of legacy. Recipes for the next season of life. A message that reminds them to love deeply, live courageously, and never forget where they came from.

Because I believe when we preserve our stories, we break generational curses.

We pass down wisdom.

We create emotional and even financial wealth that endures.

And we raise up a generation that knows who they are and whose they are.

That’s why I created Lifekeep.

Not just to document life but to protect what matters most, before it disappears.
