Storytelling for Real Life with Doug Thompson is built around a simple belief: the right story at the right time can help us connect, heal, lead, teach, sell, grow, and occasionally realize life has been trying to get our attention while we were busy checking email.
Hosted by Doug Thompson, a storytelling speaker, author, podcast host, and recovering techsplainer, this show features conversations with people who understand that stories are not just something we tell from a stage or put in a book. They are how we make sense of the moments that shape us.
Some guests are speakers, authors, coaches, creators, and leaders. Others are everyday people with stories that earned a little daylight because what they lived through may help someone else feel less alone, see something differently, or take the next step.
We talk about work, life, grief, growth, leadership, change, connection, and all the wonderfully inconvenient stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into a five-step plan.
Because the best stories don’t just entertain us.
They help us recognize ourselves.
