About This Podcast
Introducing a new interview podcast hosted by award-winning PBS TV and documentary film producer, Louise Krikorian.
Backstory: Why start a podcast called Shaping Our Story? When I was in college, my mentor, Dr. Maurice Elias, talked about human behavior in his Psychology 101 class. I liked this because I had always listened to family, friends, and co-workers' stories about their struggles and successes. As a teacher, I encouraged my students to find their purpose and thrive. Over the years of producing for NPR, AFN Radio Europe, and PBS TV, I've interviewed world renowned musicians, artists, filmmakers, and scientists who have realized their true talent. Shaping Our Story is a community of entrepreneurs, educators, and creatives who have become exemplary leaders and want to motivate others to realize their gifts and succeed.
Please follow us here and on the Shaping Our Story FaceBook page or watch our videos on YouTube. Share which leader’s success story and questions you’d like to hear.
