The Story That Made Me a Storyteller

Send us Fan MailSome stories entertain us.Some stories stay with us.This is the story that stayed with me.When I was a teenager on a family vacation to Colorado, I heard a storyteller named Scotty Vaughn perform "Rindercella," a classic story written by Archie Campbell of Hee Haw. I had no idea that one evening at the Flying W Ranch would shape the way I would tell stories for the rest of my life.Looking back now, I don't think I brought that story home.I think...It brought me.Today I'm building Five Minutes in America—a storytelling project dedicated to preserving the stories, character, and principles that have always made America worth passing along.If this kind of storytelling speaks to you, I'd love to have you become a member. Members get an early look at every new episode of Five Minutes in America, along with behind-the-scenes conversations as we build this storytelling company together.Become a Founding Member here:https://www.thecoffmanchronicle.com/subscribeSupport the show
