Healing Through Storytelling with Mark Steenbarger and Point of View Story

In this week’s newest and powerful episode of the En Factor, we welcome Mark Steenbarger and dive into deep discussion with his venture, Point of View Story. Mark’s unique background as a software developer and earning a Masters of Fine Arts back in 2021 has led him to create an innovative approach to healing from complex trauma through immersive films. Point of View Story allows viewers to engage deeply with the films, helping them access their own feelings and beliefs to aid them in their healing journey. Operating as a social enterprise, Point of View Story combines artistry with technology, offering two to four curated films each year through a subscription-based platform. These films, designed to help those affected by violence and commercial sexual exploitation, are accompanied by psychotherapeutic content created by a licensed clinical social worker. Join us as Mark shares his entrepreneurial journey, emphasizing the importance of focusing on a niche market, as well as the value of networking and building industry connections. You won’t want to miss out as Mark discusses the challenges of staying focused, the necessity of perseverance and resilience in overcoming failure, the significance of curiosity, remaining in the present, and finding value in every interaction.
