I know that some people are skeptical of why anyone would be interested in listening to them yammer on. Like many things in life, it is a confidence game. Half the battle is believing that you have something worth sharing and listening to. You do.
Q: Who really wants to hear my stories? I mean really, who would be interested?
A: The people that love you.
Q: But my life has been kind of boring. I don’t really have anything to say.

Just for arguments sake, consider recording an answer to this:
Tell me about a time in your life when you were stronger than you expected.
Now, look me in the eye and tell me you didn’t have a story that someone in your life would want to hear?!
If you are interested in looking at more questions, here are the full life story questions that I use in Storied interviews:

Warmly,
