I call them a dating service for podcasters. Use the affiliate link and tell them, Lucinda sent you. Then contact me so we can set up a Story-Power chat. Classic Cinema with the Sage Sisters Stories are a huge part of the way humans communicate with each other. I think all stories are allegories where we can learn all kinds of important things, not the least of which is how to understand ourselves and others better. The best stories can be told over and over from one generation to the next and still teach great lessons. Emotional Intelligence and critical thinking are two of those lessons. Celeste and I think there are many classic movies that show us the progression of where humanity is today and we want to share them with you. Shakespeare was right, “All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players.” The stories we tell and consume are us trying to figure out who we are, why we’re here, who we want to be, and the kind of world we want to live in. Come join the discussion on YouTube and our Facebook group.

Sep 11, 2024Tap to summarizeThis post contains affiliate links. I entered the Army in 1994 and spent 20 years in the military. During the 20 years I spent 68 months in deployment/combat tours. 9 months was in Bosnia and the rest was in Iraq and Afghanistan. After the Military I opened up my own company in the trucking industry. I closed it shortly after covid. Since than I have started a podcast called Spirits and Stories with Donald Dunn to highlight the struggles and the success of our veteran community and I am building a nonprofit called Heroes Voices Media Foundation to help Veterans reach their dreams while getting therapy doing it. I have just released my first book called Echoes of War.
