Now, it's a little story I got to tell them.
00:00:06
Now who doesn't like a good story?
00:00:08
Who isn't moved and inspired by authentic human experiences from everyday people?
00:00:18
People we can't relate to.
00:00:20
You see storytelling, it's always been a primal form of communication.
00:00:26
Like in Tibet, there was Han and footprints of children discovered dating some 200
00:00:33
years ago.
00:00:34
Imagine that.
00:00:36
You have ancient Greece with all of its legends and myths engraved in the walls.
00:00:44
There was even a structure resembling a pyramid found underneath Lake Fuxian in China with
00:00:50
designs and symbols carved into its stones.
00:00:55
And now with technology and all of its advancements from the printing press, bidding out newspapers,
00:01:03
photography and radio, the television set and now social media.
00:01:09
Now some of the mediums may have changed, but storytelling is still at the core of how we
00:01:16
communicate and how we connect and learn.
00:01:20
Stories.
00:01:21
I'm talking about your stories.
00:01:26
Those of ordinary people that have done and are doing extra ordinary things.
00:01:34
This is the heart of the podcast.
00:01:37
Let me tell you something you already know.
00:01:40
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
00:01:45
Now if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth, but you gotta
00:01:48
be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you want to
00:01:53
be because of him or her or anybody.
00:01:56
Powers do that and that ain't you.
00:01:58
You're better than that.
00:02:01
These people have beat the odds when everything was stacked up against them.
00:02:07
Faced setbacks, handled hardships, kept their path and pushed on.
00:02:16
These are the underdogs.
00:02:17
I don't know about you, but I love rooting for the underdogs.
00:02:23
These are your next door neighbors.
00:02:27
That fatherless child, a single mother, the humble shopkeeper, your sister, your brother.
00:02:36
They come from all walks of life, but you're not gonna find them on the TV screen and they
00:02:42
won't be on your favorite magazine cover either.
00:02:45
You know why?
00:02:47
Because they don't need any of that extra Hollywood flicker.
00:02:53
This is about real people in the flesh and in their own way walking like giants amongst
00:03:01
us.
00:03:02
And these are the kind of stories that I like to share.
00:03:07
I think they're worth lending an ear to.
00:03:09
I also think we could learn and draw strength from their success and victories in times
00:03:15
when we might not be thinking too highly of ourselves.
00:03:19
Their stories can help us step out of our shoes to gain a new perspective and maybe
00:03:24
see things differently.
00:03:27
They could even be a new source of inspiration and self-discovery that we could tap into.
00:03:36
Little birdie ones flew through the clouds and sang, each one, teach one.
00:03:43
So with all that being said and off my chest, I'd like to welcome everyone to the show.
00:03:49
Brew yourself up a nice cup of coffee, cup a squat, pull up a chair, kick your feet up,
00:03:56
or you could even take this with you on the go.
00:04:00
For starters, it'll be one episode every two weeks and each episode is going to focus
00:04:07
in on one of these giants amongst us.
00:04:11
Now if you'd like to be a part of the show and share your story, or even a story of someone
00:04:16
in your life that has impacted you in a positive way, you could always reach out to me via
00:04:21
email.
00:04:22
I'd be happy to connect and maybe even share your story.
00:04:26
That's what it's about.
00:04:28
The floor is yours.
00:04:31
And before I wrap this up, share your thoughts.
00:04:35
Give us a rating, leave a review on whichever platform it is you're listening to.
00:04:41
If this resonates with you, until next time, and very soon.
00:04:48
Peace.
