Why do we need new stories, anyway? With Dave Ursillo

Why do we need new stories, anyway? Aren't there enough stories being told these days? Hasn't every story been told before? And, if so, why should we each feel motivated to tell, share, or explore our own?

In this solo podcast, your host Dave Ursillo hits pause on the last 7 months of interviewing amazing guests to share his own story with you, our dear listeners. Dave opens up to share how he stumbled into the art of storytelling as a practice of self-knowledge (and connecting with others); why poignant criticism of stories, expectations, and ideas today is so important, the ways in which the tools in our pockets are overwhelming the human species, and consider an offering on why being your story's teller feels more important than ever, today.
