Shifting the Narrative with Christina Blacken
Obviously, there are certain types of stories in America that are easier to accept than others. At some point, we make certain judgments about which stories we want to buy into and which ones we don’t, and most of us get pretty good at doing this automatically. We decide which stories we think deserve to be taken seriously, and which can be dismissed. It’s just how we get through life. The problem is, the way we decide which stories to listen to says a lot about us. And sometimes we reject stories because they tell us something we don’t want to hear. That’s where Christina Blacken comes in, the Founder of The New Quo, and all-around amazing human being. Prepare yourself for an incredible episode as we get to learn from her on this episode of the Story Podcast.

Harris III
Harris began his career at a young age, traveling the world as an award-winning, professional illusionist. He has performed for and spoken live to more than two million people in more than 30 countries on six continents. His performances have been televised to millions more on networks like the Travel Channel and ABC Family, and famed YouTube channels like Dude Perfect. After traveling the globe and making a million dollars by the age of 21, only to go bankrupt a year later, Harris kick-started a decade-long journey to understand the stories we tell ourselves and how they drive all human behavior. Armed with a unique perspective, his career re-exploded as a world-renowned speaker, storyteller and entrepreneur. He is the creator of WonderWork™ and the Story OS™, and the author of the bestselling book, The Wonder Switch. Tapping into his background as a professional magician and understanding the intersection of storytelling and wonder, Harris developed a structured process that can dramatically change a team’s culture, or rapidly accelerate an individual’s transformation from the story they feel stuck in, to the life they want to live.
