Kall: Money is poison for the heart
Korten: Yeah, "poison for the heart," exactly
Kall: Now, we're coming up on the end of the hour; now, I would love to stay on this conversation with you that will be available for downloads and on a transcript if you can stick around a little bit, I just need to shut—This is the Rob Kall Show, WNJC 1360, and I've been talking with David Korten, can you stick around a little bit, David?
Korten: Yeah, sure
Kall: That'll be great! So, we're going to keep going and they're going to shut us off at any moment now!
Kall; Korten: (Laughter)
Kall: But not from our end; that'll be our radio listeners, who'll have to download to get the rest of it.
Korten: Yeah, OK; well, the community thing is really quite amazing as we—you know, one of the themes that I work with in my most recent writing is the importance of our cultural stories. The importance of our "cultural stories". The stories by which we understand what is prosperity, what is wealth, what is security?
Kall: I have to tell you that-- I know you're friends with Thom Hartmann; I was talking with him last night…
Korten: Yeah, absolutely.
Kall: And, years ago, back in the 'Nineties, Thom sent me a novel and I gave him some feedback on it, and I said well, give me some feedback on the novel I'm working on and he did and I liked it and it was useful, he said well, if you liked that you should check out this seminar by Robert McKee he had just written a book on story structure. and it started me on a journey into learning about story and it ended up with me, in a couple of years, I held a conference, a summit meeting on the art, science and application of story
And I brought together for the first time in history. People from all the different worlds of story: Story tellers, novelists, screenwriters, knowledge management consultants, lawyers, ministers psychologists, it was incredible, I had thirty five speakers from all these different worlds come together, and you know the story of the blind wise men and the elephant.
Korten: Oh, yeah.
Kall: It was one of those moments; everybody describing their experience of story, what it meant to them, how it worked. So, when I discovered that you were seeing story as a solution; it’s something that I spent six years running conferences on.
