Don Reed (Part 2) - How Don Reed Turned Setbacks Into a Legacy of Storytelling

In this powerful continuation, Don Reed shares how Redwood Nights blossomed from a heartfelt idea into a beloved storytelling event beneath the redwoods. Joined by master storytellers from NPR, HBO, and The Moth, Reed explores the beauty of authentic interaction—his version of “AI”—as a counter to digital disconnection. He talks about the impact of Elevate Oakland, his commitment to legacy-building through youth programs, and reminds us all: it’s never too late to leave your mark.
