1KHO 614: We Are Wired for Stories | Paul Hastings, Compelled
Description
Stories are how our brains make sense of the world—and in this conversation, Ginny sits down with friend and master storyteller Paul Hastings (host of Compelled) to explore why narrative cuts through noise and sticks.
From his Thai–Ozark family roots to thousands of hours crafting immersive, sound-rich episodes, Paul explains the simple science of attention (“your brain wakes up when a story begins”), the power of silence, and how true, well-edited stories help us carry big ideas without a lecture. It’s a generous, behind-the-scenes look at how meaningful narratives are made—and why they move us.
You’ll hear practical takeaways for home, work, and community: how to invite stories out of your kids, how to hold space when the hard parts surface, and how to turn lived experience into hope for someone else.
