This is the second episode of a two-part series on LearningWell Radio called “Lives Well-Told.”

On this episode of LearningWell Radio, professors Jonathan Adler and Gillian Epstein, the co-founders and directors of the Story Lab at Olin College of Engineering, rejoin Marjorie Malpiede to continue their discussion of storytelling in the college context. Following the last episode on how individuals can approach crafting their stories, this episode explores how the act of sharing those stories has the power to shape and change larger communities.
