Changing the Rules

E230: Where Good Stories Come From - Guests, Don Helin, Phil Fretz, Julie Stauffer

Episode Summary

Word has been getting around about our Storytelling Dinners. People keep asking the same questions: How do I get to one? What kind of story should I tell? Where do the best stories in my life even come from? And how do I make a good story better—and tell it well? So we decided to answer those questions the best way we know how: by telling stories. In this episode of Changing the Rules, four storytellers from our dinner table came to the microphones—Don Helin, Julie Stauffer, Phil Fretz, and Ray Loewe. They each retell one of their stories and pull back the curtain on how they found it, shaped it, and brought it to life. Along the way, you’ll hear how ordinary moments become memorable stories, how a little polishing goes a long way, and why storytelling is a skill anyone can learn—and enjoy. The result? Insight, laughter, and more than a few “I could tell a story like that” moments. What a hoot.
