GRIT Talks: Jonny Papers 🕶

On today's episode, I talk with Jon Papernick, husband, father, storyteller, teacher and author of several books, including the soon to be released I Am My Beloveds. Jon, also a member of the Tribe, is originally from Toronto and now lives outside of Boston with his wife, Kim. Our conversation takes place in his old car, on our way from Waltham to Braintree (MA), after two days that included stories told at The Moth and Stories from the Stage.
