Real Mindful Ep 7: How Stories Shape Us with Barry Boyce

This week, Mindful managing editor Stephanie Domet is joined by founding editor Barry Boyce for a personal conversation about stories and storytelling—a topic that has always been a pillar in both of their careers. In fact, in every issue of Mindful magazine, Barry writes the back-page column "Point of View," and in the December issue he writes about stories and storytelling. In this conversation, Barry expands on that article to explore the role stories play, the way they sometimes expire, and what's at stake when we don't look past our stories to tune in with what's actually happening in our firsthand experience.
