“The Epilogue, or final chapter, of everyone's life should be of the highest quality.”
Steve’s Inspiration for Epylog
“Our vision for Epylog was born out of a passion for our older generation and the wisdom we can all learn from each of them as they share their life lessons and experiences with us. A number of years ago, I was very fortunate to create a video interview of my paternal grandmother at the age of 90. Our amazing interview shed light on an incredible life journey from the Orange groves of Riverside, California to Stanford University to the calm waters of Balboa Island and finally up to the beauty of Piedmont in Northern California.
She had a front row seat to the maturation of the Industrial Age and its transition to the Computer Age as the wife of one of Henry J. Kaiser's Kaiser Industries' top 5 corporate lawyers and member of his inner circle. Every Friday evening Henry Kaiser and his top Lieutenants would stop by my grandmother and grandfather's Piedmont home to enjoy quality scotch and cigarettes and banter about the latest corporate happenings. The insights shared during this interview were astounding and the ability to honor and respect her full life was an incredible life experience for me personally. The Epilogue, or final chapter, of everyone's life should be of the highest quality.”

Parker’s Inspiration for Epylog
Parker McKinney
Co-founder
“After working in retirement communities for clinical research studies with technological products, I realized how much the residents of the retirement communities were struggling and frustrated with their devices. When I carved out extra time to help them learn their new phones, watches, and products, I saw how much it completely changed their lives.
Helping people in retirement communities and assisted living facilities with technology made them feel so much happier, more empowered, and more easily able to stay in touch with distant relatives and loved ones. People that didn’t even talk to each other before I sat down with them, now started to have things in common. The residents became brave enough to try sending photos and using Facebook - they wanted to keep learning more and more, and started correlating positive emotions with technology. They even wanted to start tracking their health data and email it to their doctors!
The idea of Epylog’s Video Learning Library came from the pain I experienced searching for how-to videos on other video and streaming websites. The reality was so frustrating. When you found a video, it would either be excruciatingly long or done by someone with too thick of an accent, was very hard to follow, very dry, and nothing engaging. I wanted to create short videos that are entertaining, relevant to seniors, and easy for them to watch repeatedly at their preferred times that would help them learn more quickly.”
If you or a loved one are experiencing cognitive challenges,
we have designed our Answer Videos to be simple to view,
over and over again, as many times as you need.
“I believe that one of the reasons America is so challenged today is because we throw our older and wiser generations by the wayside as if they are a burden. Epylog is all about vitality and quality in the final chapters of life. We are here to help every Epylog member along their individual journey.“
Technomorephobia
As seniors, we suffer greatly from what we, at Epylog, have coined "TechNoMorePhobia" or the fear of technology and the desire for “no more” painful and frequent software upgrades. Some of our team are Boomers ourselves and we work closely with active seniors around the country, so we know what you're going through.
Epylog is a very affordable prescription to help you get comfortable with your technology. We craft our “Answer Videos” tailored to you, in an entertaining and informative way:
Slowly paced for you to easily follow
Large typography and call-outs on-screen help guide your eyes
Pleasing music behind a soothing voice-over
You might hear a little Glen Miller Orchestra music playing or some Rat Pack favorites, and more
We also inject some subtle humor to help you enjoy your learning experience
We are focused on simplifying your learning and understanding and on improving your quality of life as an active senior. This brings us immense joy. So don't be shy about telling us new videos you want and don’t see in the library and how we can improve!
