Welcome to Episode 9. Today we talk about why storytelling is important and how it serves as a link to the past. I bring a special guest on to discuss stories, family heritage, and preserving memories. In their words, “A person only dies when their stories die.” While some of the things in the past might contain ideas and action that aren't good, learning about the lives of our ancestors and understanding what happened in the past allows us to create a better future, hopefully including the wisdom from our heritage while avoiding the pitfalls. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
