Everyone carries a unique story within them — and those stories connect us all. 🌟

In this episode of The Experience Live with Russ & Scott (Y6E244), we welcome James Gardner, co-host of the inspiring podcast Your History Your Story, to explore the power of storytelling, oral history, and preserving personal legacies.

After years in corporate finance and audit, James followed a deeper calling: helping people capture and share their life experiences. Alongside his wife, he now works to preserve meaningful conversations and personal histories — because every life holds lessons, wisdom, and impact worth remembering.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why everyone has a story worth sharing

• The importance of preserving oral history

• How storytelling strengthens human connection

If you believe in the power of authentic conversations, human connection, and honoring life stories, this episode is for you.
