Hi everyone, I am UT show. Okay, so before stepping on the stage, I was told by that guy in white shirt, bro, say something inspiring, something wise and profound. But honestly, I'm just a content creator.And some amazing people like you who watch my videos assume that I am one of the best storytellers. But but but let me assure you that I am not.

[Music] [Applause] So, there's something to be said about the power of storytelling. It's unique to humans because it can motivate, inspire, seduce, and even cause anger. But today, I want to talk about a little different part of storytelling. the importance of controlling one's narrative because in many ways this can dictate the outcome for a community. So 15 years ago, I had hair. Then I got involved in politics. And one of the things I learned during the process is it's not just about your brand, but als ...

I want you to think of a period in your life when you failed to live up to someone's expectation. It could be your family member, your friend, or anyone else. Now, I want you to hold this thought and we'll come back to that later.For me, that memory still continues to spin around in my head to this day. My father had a serious addiction to alcohol until he was diagnosed with diabetes. And religion was the only salvation that made him stop.From that day on, it became an integral part of our family. But no ma ...

See, before I stood on a stage like this or in a newsroom, my life was full of stories. The kind of stories that could have ended before they even started.Stories of loss, st ...

Tutta questa storia comincia con un errore, ma forse tutte le storie iniziano con un errore, perché se non ci fosse un malfunzionamento, una anomalia nel sistema, niente si muoverebbe. E le storie sono movimento. Una storia proprio come un treno a un certo punto deve partire e questa storia inizia proprio con un treno o con un furgone, cambia poco.

And in that silence, stories become a lifeline.A good story can melt the distance between people. It can pull neighbors out of isolation and remind us that even in the coldest places, we still belong together. In Alaska, storytelling isn't how we just isn't how we pass the time.It's how we stayed connected, how we felt t ...
