Note sull'episodio

Do you ever feel like a nobody? It's easy to feel like we don't matter in this vast world, but the truth is, every single one of us is a somebody with immense personal worth.

In this episode of The Story Ark, we welcome back a friend of the show and Utah Storytelling Guild member, Wayne Kartchner. Wayne is here to remind us that it is perfectly okay to be a "nobody" trying something new, and why you have to be willing to be bad at something before you can ever be good.

From learning to play the piano at age 72 to teaching resilient English students across Africa via Zoom, Wayne’s stories highlight why we should embrace our mistakes rather than fear them. Listen in as he shares a deeply touching story about Lesego, a mother of five from Botswana, whose determination to learn English not only transformed her daughter's confidence but profoundly impacted Wayne's own life from 9,000 miles away.

Whether you want to start telling silly bedtime stories to your kids, pick up a new skill, or simply need a gentle reminder that your everyday presence matters, this episode is for you.
