Whether it is formal storytelling or relaying experiences (not a huge difference, but one always sounds less intimidating than the other when you ask someone to be your podcast guest), there is gold in this format. I am currently developing a podcast/social program/platform around this and couldn’t be more excited. Yes, it is challenging to get people to open up and tell personal stories sometimes but with enough practice and determination it can be done.
I’ll post an update on this in the coming weeks with lessons learned, but wanted to post today because I ran across a great post from Irving Wladawsky-Berger on the subject. I’ll certainly be diving into this website today.
