Podcast appearances and mentions of george dawes green

What makes a powerful storyteller?Those able to tell a story that - whether it's from a porch, a stage, a bar or an auditorium - can literally change the fabric of the air around you. Those able to, from their first breath, plunge us into a world completely different from our own. Yet still offer a roadmap we can use to solve our own challenges.Those able to literally change the way we view the world.My guest today is not only one such globally regarded storyteller. His vision and commitment has also amplified over 50,000+ human stories across the planet.Today's Guest George Dawes Green is an award winning author and Founder of The Moth. His first novel, The Caveman's Valentine, won the Edgar Award and became a motion picture starring Samuel L. Jackson. His second - The Juror was an international bestseller in more than twenty languages and became the basis for the movie starring Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. His most recent The Kingdoms of Savanna is currently being made into a major television series.However, for me, George's impact reaches much further.Back to 1997, when he first founded The Moth from his lounge room in New York.The Moth, as he would describe it, is “a raconteur club” that he created to recreate the feeling of sultry summer evenings in his native Georgia. When moths were attracted to the light on the porch where he and his family would gather to spin spellbinding tales. The first New York Moth event was held in George's living room and the story events quickly spread to larger venues throughout the city. It has since brought more than 50,000+ live stories to audiences across six continents.The Moth podcast, containing some of these stories, also won a Webby People's Voice Award Winner for Best Podcast Series, and is downloaded more than 100 million times a year. If you haven't already discovered it please just trust me on this one.Instagram: @georgedawesgreenYou'll LearnHow The Moth began from his own hunger to replicate the intimacy and power of the storytelling of his childhood.What he's discovered about our collective hunger to share stories – including the ability of one human story to change the entire fabric of a room.Finally, why the audience is always willing you to succeed – and how tapping into THAT knowledge gives you permission to speak from a place of both truth and clarity.References and links mentionedMy new ebook The Influencer CodeGeorge's website, and his most recent book, The Kingdoms of SavannahThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

  Imagine a sultry summer evening. A couple of friends are gathered around when someone pipes up and says, "Did I ever tell you the story about..." And then a great yarn is unfurled. Well, that moment, that feeling, was exactly what poet and novelist George Dawes Green wanted to create in 1997. Only with a stage. And nothing but a storyteller. A microphone. And an audience. Twenty years later, The Moth is now one of the world's most successful, influential, and entertaining cultural forces. Have a listen to this special LIVE Disruptor Series with Moth storyteller, Liel Leibovitz and a conversation with Artistic Director Catherine Burns.

On this episode, Tyler & Don talk to George Dawes Green, the founder of the storytelling organization The Moth. Years ago, George told stories with his friends on a porch in Georgia where moths would flock in and out of the porch light. That image was the inspiration for a storytelling organization that George started in New York later in life. He's no longer "in charge" in the traditional sense, but he travels the world as an ambassador for the organization and helps shape new programs like the most recent high school StorySLAM program. This is an episode about stories, the art of the raconteur, Georgia, Wanda Bullard, entrepreneurship and the best way to sustain something that you start. Oh, and this is our season finale.
