18. Story Meets History And... Six-Pack Abs?? with Antenor Savoldi

What's history, and why was was it so boring in school? Can storytelling fix it? And why could we possibly be talking about six-pack abs?

Welcome to The Storypowers Podcast, the show about the power of stories, the people who tell them and why you should be doing it too. I’m your host Francisco Mahfuz.

My guest today is my good friend Antenor Savoldi.

Antenor is a journalist, historian and semi-professional contrarian. He was also a founder of one of the first online collectives of bloggers, writers and storytellers in Brazil, back in the days when we thought the internet would change the world for the better. Finally, Antenor has the dubious distinction of having known me as a teenager. The fact we’re still friends is a credit to his character.

I'm a keynote speaker, author, public speaking and storytelling coach. You can connect with me on LinkedIn, where I post daily (or as close to that as real life will let me), and on storypowers.com. You can also check out my book "Bare: A Guide to Brutally Honest Public Speaking" on Amazon.
