The Purpose of your story

What’s the purpose of your interview? What are the things that make these people so different that makes you want to tell their story?

When you are listening to their stories, you find out how about their hardships, their dreams, and also about their fears.

They tell you about the trials they face just to go through with each day. They talk about their regrets, about the mistakes made and the experiences they went through to become the person they were today.

They also share about how they defeated the helplessness that gripped them and emerged a victor with the trophy of happiness at their side.

All of these past experiences, good or bad can help thousands of people who are still waiting to see a light shining to lead them out of woods they have been lost in.
