StoryCorp Everybody has a story. Something life changing or important that has happened to them changing their life forever. Generations of knowledge and history is right at our fingertips we just need to know how to access it. By telling stories we can relive the past through our imagination and hopefully gain something from it. If I could ask anyone in my family what their story is it would be my grandpa. He was born in 1935 so he has lived through so many events that have shaped not only him

The speaker is Dave Isay, the founder StoryCorps and winner of the 2015 TED Prize. He opened the first StoryCorps booth in 2003 at New York’s Grand Central Terminal. He is delivering his speech behind a podium in an auditorium to a large audience at an official TED conference. The speaker stated his purpose very clearly at the beginning of the speech.

I imagine myself sitting in this booth from StoryCorp with my grandmother, interviewing her. Asking her questions like how hard was it growing up in 1912. What was the school like back then and was there anyone famous in our family. Like an inventor or a war hero. There is a secret about StoryCorps.

Most humans can access the same basic emotions, but even so, their upbringings and subsequent experiences uniquely build each of their personalities.
