This episode was a speech recorded at the FUSION conference with the American Farm Bureau talking about the art of storytelling and the profound impact it can have on personal and communal growth.
Vance shares his journey from working in agriculture to becoming a storyteller who helps individuals record their life stories for future generations. He emphasizes the importance of listening and asking the right questions to help people open up and share their experiences.
Vance discusses the concept of "Pole," a Kenyan approach to being present with someone in pain, and how this has influenced his work. He also shares insights on how to ask questions that encourage deeper reflection and storytelling, such as avoiding "why" questions and instead asking "how" or "tell me about it." Throughout the episode, Vance provides valuable lessons on how to become a better listener and the importance of capturing wisdom through personal stories.
