Steve Winduss
Chief Story Hunter
I spent thirty years helping small businesses to grow. I have spent the last 26 years helping my kids to grow too.
Throughout all those business and family experiences, a common theme has been that of "storytelling". Successful businesses thrive on telling stories and children thrive on listening to them. In fact, stories are essential to both.
So, as I pondered what my twilight years might look like, it had to include hunting down personal stories. They may be informative, amusing or thought provoking; they may provide a twist to popular history; they may stir the emotions or inspire, whether through triumph or tragedy.
Incidentally, I thought that if I was going to ask people to share their stories, I ought to share one myself! Take a look at how I got on - Secondhand Embarrassment. What did you think?
Everyone has a personal story inside them and everyone should have an opportunity to share them. Batting the Breeze is dedicated to sharing those stories.
