A year ago this week, Michael was on stage at TEDx FurmanU, where storytelling was the theme for 2014. In honor of StoryCorps winning the $1 million dollar TED prize, we’ve pulled together a collection of our favorites from last year’s event at Furman University.
Grab some chocolate, sit back, and enjoy these big hearts as they explore the impact of story on all of our lives.
