Did you catch one of our tellers opening the Moth podcast this weekend? Harjas found us during Covid when we were on Zoom and told some great stories with us. A few days ago The Moth featured him on their podcast. Way to go Harjas!
You can find him at the 3:30 mark here: https://player.themoth.org/#/?actionType=ADD_AND_PLAY&storyId=234145
If you were at the latest Moth GrandSlam in Seattle, you know that Saloni won the big show that night. Yay Saloni! I’ll share the link with everyone as soon as Le Moth puts it out.
If you missed Harjas and Saloni, you can still catch our good friend Paul Barach at Ignite Seattle next Tuesday. He’s got a five-minute talk he’ll be giving called “Remember, You Will Forget This.” I’ve heard little bits of it over the last few weeks, and those words have been haunting me ever since. I thought about them a lot on the two hikes I’ve been on since he shared them with me over the phone.
This show only happens twice a year, so get your tickets here:
If you’ve never been to Seattle Ignite, here’s a bit from their website:
“Twice a year, one of the greatest audiences in the world gathers to hear interesting people tell interesting stories. Each speaker gets 20 slides, for 15 seconds each, to share a passion for 5 minutes – it’s an evening of curated discovery. We take pride in providing every audience with a deep sense of the community + possibility that surrounds us in Seattle in every moment.”
I don’t know how the best storytellers in the PNW keep showing up at FGS, but they do. I hope a bunch of you come out and see who shows up at our next one on June 18. The theme is “Stories of someone surprising you.”
See you then!
Paul
