The Stories Already There - with Phil Eich

In this episode, Ryan talks with Storyville founder Phil Eich about the power of telling the real stories of people and places. Phil describes himself not as a storyteller, but a “story advocate,” helping people share stories that might otherwise go untold. They explore the impact those stories can have on individuals and communities, how thousands of individual stories collectively shape the story of a place, and why cities can actually lose their story when they try too hard to control it. Because every place is one of one, and the strongest story is usually the one that’s already there.https://storyville.substack.com/https://www.storyvillecities.com/
