Familial Sudoku (with Josh Harman) | Episode 15

Stories That Live In Us

Do you revel in solving a good brain teaser or completing a crossword puzzle? Climbing your family tree can feel a little like piecing together a tricky jigsaw. It is certainly about more than just collecting names on a pedigree chart like a simple dot to dot.

Early in his career, Josh Harman was a young, slightly overconfident, product manager at Ancestry who thoroughly enjoyed solving technical problems but thought genealogy was boring. He didn’t understand the obsession. Listen in as he shares some of the transformative moments that helped him evolve from simply doing his job to truly embracing the role he played in facilitating deeply meaningful experiences for others. This journey not only changed his professional outlook and contributions but echoed through his personal life and helped reshape his understanding of his own identity and values.

Join us to explore how piecing together your own family history can deeply connect you with your past and illuminate your place in your family narrative. That process will light up your brain as much as any puzzle.
