Authentic Stories
Watch the talk
What StoryCorps I hope reminds us of is the beauty and the poetry and the power and the grace of everyday people who are hiding in plain sight all around us when we just take the time to listen.
The soul is contained in the human voice.
Get to know one another as human beings. It's hard to hate up close.
Democracy cannot survive in a swamp of mutual discontent.
They say there are 4 things you want to say before you die, or you want to say to the person you love who is dying: Thank You, I Love You, Forgive Me, I Forgive You.
One of the secret sauces of StoryCorps is that nobody comes to get rich. Nobody comes to get famous. It's just an act of generosity and love. We're surrounded by so much bullsh*t nowadays that when you hear people being authentic with each other you're kind of walking on holy ground.
