Ever had a day that starts badly and just spirals downward? The kind where you should've stayed in bed and hit the snooze button? Now imagine stringing a few of those days together for a bad week. This is a story about one such week that occurred over 40 years ago.
Navy Lieutenant Hugh Shake knew that he had married a strong-willed woman, but he never could have imagined the lengths by which she’d prove it. She had just accomplished a feat that had never been done before, and in all likelihood, would never happen again. What was this amazing accomplishment? Sit back and listen to a true story called, The Miracle of the Coral Sea.
I found three, 125-year-old job offer letters from the Bausch and Lomb Optical Company--all to a Robert Werth. I had many questions. Why three letters? Why were two of them typed and one of them hand-written? And most importantly, did Robert accept the position? If you’d like to know the answers to these and other questions, sit back and listen to a story that I call: “Did Robert Get the Job?”

I use storytelling to both immortalize the high points in my life, and to help me process the low points. Today’s story falls into the latter category–to help me process a random event that just doesn’t make sense. It’s a story that I call: "Primary Care."
It all starts with a buyer and a seller. One person has something to sell that another is interested in buying. But how does that transaction happen? How do sellers and buyers arrive at a mutual price? One answer can be found in a new movement that’s changing the way we price creative works. What is this new movement? Well, sit back and listen to a story that I call: "Value is in the Ear of the Beholder."
On May 18th, 2010, someone made a purchase that changed the world. Did this purchase involve a tract of land for a future hospital, library, or regional park? Nope. They bought a pizza. Actually two of 'em. And what made these two pizza pies so special? Well, sit back and listen to a story called, “Tinkerbell’s Light.”
On April 12, 1994, a Phoenix Law firm found a loophole that allowed it to make money without spending any. What was this curious business model and how has it affected everyone listening to this show? Here's a story that we call "Life Needs Friction."
On today’s Griddlesode, I have a story that longtime listeners have heard bits and pieces of, but they’ve never heard them strung together. It’s a story called: "Griddlecakes Radio: The "Birth of a Podcast."
During a recent interview, Dan Moyle of the Storyteller’s Network asked me the following question: “Do you have a life-changing story that you can look back on and say…this is what changed my life when it came to story?” My answer became the inspiration for today’s Griddlesode. It’s a story called: "Finding Uncle Kelsey."
