Good news happens. This week's episode features a conversation about storytelling.

We chatted with Loren Niemi, lifelong storyteller and founder of the Minneapolis-based American School of Storytelling, about topics including his four storytelling techniques for social change and whether those techniques have been used to address an issue our county has been grappling with for years—homelessness and housing.

We also chatted with United Way chief impact officer Regina Malveaux, our Senior Director of Philanthropic Engagement, Gary Rubin, and marketing strategist Kayla Dunn about how our organization uses storytelling to convey the impact of our work beyond facts and figures.

We will also spotlight our Free Summer Meals program and our Community Partnership Kit Offerings.
